Title: Country Flags on CVs
Post by: Wizer on January 17, 2013, 04:04:53 PM: I wish that the appropriate country flag could be on each countries carrier task force.

I say yes to this idea, since it sounds easy enough to implement, but I don't think it would be particularly useful to anyone.

Only if you own its port...then the CV becomes another "base" of yours when it respawns.

You only see the available CV's for your country. Opposing CV's are invisible to the map.

:headscratch: to what you really want.

I'm pretty sure he means on the deck of the ship itself, but a chess piece

Post by: macleod01 on January 20, 2013, 05:26:02 AM: I may be mistaken, but I thought it was only the Japanese who commonly put the flag on their ships. I know the Bismark had the Swastika, but did the Tirpitz? And I don't recall hearing about any US or RN carriers that had the flag of their country on them. Or any US or RN ships for that matter.

But I may be wrong

If I'm not then I don't feel it would be right to put flags on all our carriers which are modelled on a US carrier if only 1 country in the war had it.

However I do like it when a player gets confused & heads off to land on the wrong CV that is in the area.
