I wish that when you took command of a CV group that one of the options you have is to controll its speed.
Selectable on the clipboard, 0/25/50/75/Full Speed.
When no one is in "command" of the TG it defaults to full speed. :cheers:

Or make it simpler like Stop and/or Go
Wouldn't mind having the CV come to a full stop sometimes...

Would make nothing but a great target.

why would you want CVs to go slower? :headscratch:
-
most noobs cant take off if its turning at all, can you imagine the whines if it was stopped?

Of course it would be a sitting duck...
But WHAT IF the CV was in a medium gun range of a base. The enemy has no idea that it is there - so for the time being the CV comes to a full stop broadside and have full gun solution for a longer time.
Of course if it gets discovered it can put the paddles out and row row row the heck away

wwII ships could barely do 30 knots,noway could they do 50--and this is wwII sim so forget about it.and when wwII carriers and battleships stopped at an islaned they were surounded by 50 to 100 support ships and hundred's of planes :bolt:

I think it could be very usefull if the CV group was under attack in the MA by level bombers. Giving the bomber something other than the absolute full speed of the CV to count on for his drop.
Depending on the drop Alt...maybe going to half speed and a hard turn could lessen the chance that a Lanc gets if full load on the ship.

I couldn't see many times that the CV would be at a complete stop, again for a defensive purpose though killing the speed of the TG while under level bomber attack could be helpfull.

Uhh...tons of ships in WW2 could do 30+ knots, and I don't know what 50knots has to do with anything. And I am keenly aware this is a WW2 sim and no I won't forget about it.
I could also see this ability coming in handy in special events like the Battle of Midway, Coral Sea, Battle of Santa Cruz, Battle of Eastern Solomons, and any special event that has one group attacking a CV or Task Group.

CVs operate way below turn speed, chopping the throttle wont make you turn faster ...

Your quite correct, it would make it turn slower :O

:O :x ya do it :rofl

Biggest use for a full stop or slowed speed would be so it doesn't move around as much when people try and shove it up into some far-away corner.

I'm thinking even in WW2, planes couldn't take off unless the cv was at full speed, into the wind, to add a few more knots
-
This sounds a bit gamey. Historically, WWII CVs operated at the top end of their speed ranges when in combat and when conducting flight operations. They definately didn't stop-and-go to throw off bombers, mostly because they couldn't, due to their momentum.

ding ding ding..
"i cant take off my corsair with 1000lb bombs and rockets from cv tjats stopped!!! its BS!!!!@@@"
"whoever stopped the carrier is a spy!"
"whoevers in charge of Cxxx is spying, changed speed of carrier right as i was taking off"
