Title: Would HiTech want Bishops to hide THREE ENTIRE FLEETS at the same time ???
Post by: BBQsam on July 27, 2012, 11:19:18 PM
I am flying for the Bishops right now and there are not one, not two, but THREE different Bish fleets that are in "hiding".  It has been like this for several hours here on friday. Who ever is doing this please ask yourself:

Would Hitech recommend your behavior?  

I don't pay my $14.95 so someone can take out of play THREE ENTIRE FLEETS!  The naval aspect of AH is an essential part of the gameplay.  You are in effect stealing part of our game for all of us who spend our $14.95 on AH.  Please allow the Fleets to be put back into combat.  Thankyou

Can you do me a favor, can you move CV186 back to P185 for me?
Don't worry about CV115, I already found that one and sunk it before it could slip away.

This notion that the bishops are the only ones that do all the "evil" things in this game gets old. Especially considering just a few days ago I spent hours chasing down 2 CVs the knits hid on the edge of the map.

I care, but taking impounded fleets and putting them back into play isn't worth the grief you get if you try to.

Personally i think that keeping the fleets in action are good for the game even if it's not good for a quick map win.

Are you trollin', or are you finally coming around?

To this quote and all the other like it..... just because ALL sides do it doesn't make it right.

Who cares?

Maybe those players who pay their $15 a month to have some fun CV vs land base action. Of course those players are unimportant, all that matters is how the "little Generals" decide we play.

Rank has it's privilege's.

Get a higher one to take control of the fleets.



ah and this one.... many players are here to have fun "fighting" battles. Why should we had to spend so much of our time  to "game the game" so that we can have a good enough rank to control a CV? I'm sorry, A lot of us have to work during the day and can't spend all day padding our score like these little dweebs can so that they can be the "hero" of their "mega squad" by having a inflated rank. It's a flawed system.

Oh but how quickly they forget that. They seem to forget that this game can and will be played in many, many diffrent ways this being just one. But it does make the control mongers in this game shake thier fists and cry to the heavens.  Simply "Hiding" a cv is nothing more than a strat in a large game of chess, but can be quite effective.

I suppose we could put a flashing sign on each cv that says  "Get it at Porky's" and pull the cvs up to an enemy base so they can find them and thier feelins dont get hurt.  :huh

If I am in the arena, tell me you suspect some cv are hidden and I will find them.....without help of a spy or side switching.

I love ruining the fun of the chumps who hide cv.

Next time a CV is hidden just pm me ill switch sides and find a way to put it in combat, after all its more fun to promote a fight.
After all we have 12 hour time switches, so I have 12 hours to put it in combat and I can wait.

If I switched sides I wouldn't tell my squadies where the CV was - frankly very few in my squad even know how to bomb (eh pacman?). Whole "Spying" business is load of crap anyway, if someone wants to spend money for a shade let them, its more money in hTC's pockets and he frankly don't care.

Make a suggestion in the Wishlist Forum how they might put the CV's back into play when an enemy port
Has been captured. HTC will listen.

Is hiding CV's gaming the game or part of a strategy for winning the map? I guess it depends
On that individuals intentions when he takes command of an orphaned CV.

Put some ideas out there. It is a topic that everyone can contribute to find a solution that
Helps the game move forward. Good post.

Here's an idea so this topic won't ever come up again...if a cv is sunk, just like in R/L it's gone never to be used until map rotation comes back, no more whines,  :cry or spying this or that :rock

pretty much.

if there truly were spies giving positions of cv's all the time, they wouldn't hide them.. because hiding them wouldn't work. the very fact that the cv's are able to be hidden means nobody cares enough to spy and go sink them.

Hiding carriers, especially on maps like we have now makes them harder to sink though as it takes a very long flight over enemy territory to reach them.

Someone should do a chuwie type mission to sink the 3 we have hidden right now.

The most effective way I know of is using as many NOE P-47N With 100% fuel and a center drop.  Wings loaded with max ord  and 267 rounds per gun as you can get.  Find the boat's general area, climb when about 1 full sector or more away from task group to cloud layer and attack.

Or Me 410's loaded with all guns possible on the deck.

Expect to make 2 attempts due to interception.

Post by: icepac on July 28, 2012, 07:34:34 PM
I use the f4u with tanks for long NOE searches but a spit XIV or a TA152 can cover a huge amount of distance at super high altitudes.

Then, it's simple to make search passes about every half sector, going AFK, and coming back when you hear the puffy ack hitting your plane.

Spying to bring a CV to use is fine IMO. Spying to sink it because you want points or to ruin a fight that's already happening is just poor play.

     I have flown on all countries, and besides the vTards, there is no difference between them, the same amount of people HO, pick, ram, fly spitfire XVIs and LAs, and hide CVs, I have seen it all and it is a bad notion. Every country has equal amounts of punks. Grab those CVs, and use them or get someone who can!

I think most times that refers to a CV trying to sneak into attack position and some noob decides to up when it's 2 sectors away.

The idea of capturing a port and not worrying about the CV is valid. It depends entirely on someone on the opposing side to hide the fleet. In doing so they can't use the fleet either. So by capturing one base you get the use of one and disable one.
