Title: Pitching decks
Post by: LCCajun on June 10, 2009, 03:19:29 AM

Ok I think this has been asked for before, but I am gonna bring it up again. I would love to see our carrier's decks pitch and roll. I don't know how much work it would take for this to be added into the game. I would just love the challenge of trying to land on a cv while the deck is moving.

It would be nice to have. Although I'd go for actual waves first :)

I donno that the decks really moved all that much unless it was really stormy.  Of course this assumption is based purely upon the tiny bit of footage I've seen of the WWII carriers.

He is right
The bigger the ship the less it moves, and since we don't have storms in AHII the waves will not effect it.

it can roll and pitch as much as it wants (which wouldn't be much), wouldn't change a thing, its still easy land on cv in this game (too easy)

Believe me, Aircraft Carriers roll around PLENTY!!!

But what would be better is, if bomb craters actually made holes in the deck...
Take off at your own risk!!!

Rip...same thing with the runways, guys would just go in with a fighter and drop on the spawn of the CV.

Yeah I know...
Lots of stuff is fudged in the game to make it playable...
But a holed flightdeck should halt opps until repaired...
A better damage model for the CV, would be better overall...
But that will never happen as long as the CV is required to
stroll right up the the shore to launch LVTS...

Separate Invasion fleets please... (not intended as a highjack)

I would like pitching deck. Landing on CV just way too easy right now.
