I wish for there to be some kind of new way to take command of the CV that doesn't run off of rank. It starts to be a pain when score padders take control of the CV with a ranking of 20 or 30 and just go and hide it, when someone else it trying to put it into play. I can understand if the other country has the port, but 90% pf the time, someone is sending all the CVs to hide in a corner. I understand that ecah and every country can do as they wish with their CVs, but can we have a better way to control who can take command of the CVs?
Here is an example of what im talking about. I tried to put it into play 3 times before they just took command of it and sent it on its way.

There has to be some other way to control who can take control of the CV. Maybe leave it as is, but a certain amount of people can vote you out of command so someone else can take command of it.
Thanks in advanced

To be perfectly honest with you........... If you know how the scoring works, you can be top 50 every tour.
Me? I'm nobody special but have no problem finishing top 15 in a tour simply by doing all the things the game allows.....
If you want to be top 5, that requires some skill!

Dont really get to log too many hour a tour now and for me its not such much about score. For me, and im sure others, score is just a number.

The only problem I have with it is people that constantly send the CV through every PT spawn they can find. Well actually I guess the biggest problem is those that take control and go AFK while the ship gets bombed......
But it's been this way for many years and I doubt HT will change it any time soon.

You can't fix stupid.
It's asinine, but hey, if one spent all the time to pad their score, I guess they deserve it.
I do, however, like the "vote them out" idea. Since ALL players spend the same $14.95, seems fair to me. Especially if some mouth-breather is in charge of the fleet.
When there is a 109-T that is available from a CV, perhaps I'll care enough to make a fuss.
Since that will never happen, it's a good conclusion that I won't ever care too much.

High score doesn't mean they have good CV judgement skills. Voting them out is the way to go. I've also seen many times the high scoring player takes control, then ups a sortie and ignores it. It's a problem when an idiot with a good rank is in control. Also, some people are super stubborn and won't listen to reason. The exact example given above has been encountered by me many times (the exact map, exact spot). This is one of the reasons I left a certain country... too many self centered, score hording, stubborn @!#es.

HAHA, good one.
Isn't the first pic from before the update that numbered the bases though? Or am I missing something?

He has the names and alt turned off.... Along with spawns and radar. And zones. :D
Right click your map. :aok

I thought you were being sarcastic, sorry. The picture was taken just shortly before i posted. i tured off everything else so that you couls see what i was talking about. Sorry if there was any confusion.

can we have a better way to control who can take command of the CVs?
what do you suggest?
-
Instead of posting here whining about somebody taking control of the
CV and hiding it, where you KNOW THEIR NAME...

Nope, I guess I just never turn that stuff off. Learn something new everyday.

This can be frustrating. I've seen it where the person in command has just forgotten and gone to fight somewhere else.
How about you can only have command while either on the ship or on an airplane/vehicle launched from that ship.

It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.

Reasons:
2 - Your post has nothing to do with the wish.
4 - See bold
5 - I hope you can figure this one out.
8 - Your complaining about how I didn't email Skuzzy. I wasnt complaining about anyone. I was stating a a wish for there to be a new way to take command of a CV.
-
what do you suggest?
read the first post again. At the bottom of the picture was a suggestion.

I meant your suggestion for determining who gets control of the CV, not how to boot them when they already have command.
as for voting people off, dont think its a good idea. when Ive taken control of a CV in the past its usually to get it out of a bad position that someone else has put it in (without taking command). most of the complaints on range are from guys in fighters trying to land on a turning CV. they dont know or care about the PT spawn its about to run over, the SB its about to come into range of or the buffs that are about to bomb it, they just want to land their kills. in fact I dont think Ive ever commanded a CV without someone whining about it.
rank is probably the best way to determine command. it doesnt mean that you're an expert in naval warfare, but it does show that you understand the mechanics of the game. the only other way I can see to do it would be to rank 8" gunners, although I'm not sure this would make much difference.
CV command is probably one of the least understood parts of the game, very few players even know how to change course without spinning the group in circles, or how to best attack another group, or how close to shore it needs to be to run LVTs etc.

Bottom line here, ask on Country channel if the person who has control will release it. If they get rowdy and give you uncalled for grief, screenie and send to the link listed previously. Also ask fellow countrymen if someone can take control and release it. You do have a right to access the CV with all the other players but be responsible with it.
By telling them (countrymen) the purpose of your request, you might get them to give it to you. They might also have a reason to keep it if the area is being overrun.
Sometimes it's better to hide than fight. Do a mission to capture the port and then take the CV. Capturing ports and bases are also a way to get a higher score/rank.

Well the thing is, the person could see where i was sending it and it wasnt a bad place. It was gonna be for a base take and it was completely away from all the other bases. There was no need to go and hide the CV if we had the port and the port wasnt under attack.
