Dont know if this has been asked before, and no i didnt search. but what about making the AA guns avialable to the ships docked in the port. It would help defend the port better. Would be easy to implement into the game. What do ya think?
-
Now that isn't a bad idea at all. No auto ack, but nevertheless, having a few mannable guns would be sweet.
-
I always thought it would be cool if once you sunk a task group, it would need to rebuild at the docks, and you could attack the ships at anchor to keep the Task Groups out of action longer.
I know alot of people will poopse this though :aok

I like the idea of guns firing on the docked ships, either auto, manned or both.
-
I like this idea too! :aok
-
+1. No 5 inchers IMO, but certainly some mannable 20s or 40s would be fun, and would increase port survivability.
-
That certainly would be nice. It would increase the defensive possibilities while giving the strafing fighters a chance for more perkies.
Win-Win. :aok

Yeah, i was just thinking of all the times in WW2 that a port was attacked, not one ship didnt help defend it. I was thinking of all man positions on the ships, but maybe a auto ack or 2 would be cool.

Ever commanded a task force and while setting the course got the message "Way Point Touches Land?" and the way point line was out to sea?
Because of the way the tiles are drawn, the shore area is actually a blue land tile, which precludes the ability to put ships in that close.
But it would be cool.
I also like the idea of mannable Ack on the ships, but I think the ships are actually ammo bunkers with the ship shape assigned to it.
No reason why there could not be more mannable guns around the port area, though.
-
Yup, change two of the auto-acks into 20mm Quad, or even 5" would be nice.

It sounds cool but then the CV's would rarly leave port cuz a few guys in high lancs would just make a bomb run every 10min or so to keep the CV's down forever

Really like this idea. Actually someone can't remember who brought it up the other day when we were defending a port and vh was down.
