So we have the option to command a carrier group. In find the role is missing alot of diversity.
I see atleast 2 key features that are missing that would boost the use of carrier groups!
1. I suggest that as long as the ship commander is under command ( which would push squad co's to have that 1 good rabked player) we would have the option to ground all flights from taking off. Nothing may lift off the cv while this option is on.
2. Have an on/off button for the darn auto puffy ack... How many times have I been on those long range bombing runs at 30k to come accrost 2-3 enemy carrier groups along my trip that I only discovered because of the puffy ack.
I think this would compliment the cv commander title alot more then just clicking take command and turn the cv.
Let me know what you guys think!
Written via iphone sorry about the mistakes.
-
Both great features to be massively abused.
-
No. Preventing people from taking off a CV until 'cleared' is not good for game play and could be used to grief. As for the other one with the acks, another no.
ack-ack

Second time I had to drag this one out today.

It might be a good time to introduce player spawned and controlled Escort Carriers then. *Insert insane amount of perks here* would get you your own mini-carrier which only pilots hand-selected by you could see on the map and take off from. It would also have a limited number of aircraft so once you launched them all you would have to turn around and re-arm it at a port. Perks would of course be non-refundable.

I think it would also be appropriate to limit how many could be spawned a day or in a given time period.

If the price is high enough I see no reason to limit the number. Not a whole lot who are going to be willing to throw away 400/500 perks on one, which is what I think would be a fair price.

So you want to have the power to prevent other players as well as yourself from finding combat.
The purpose of the CV is to generate wild furballs. Anything else is a waste.

I am sorry holding flights while mission waits to launch just makes too much sense. It is far more important for one aircraft to launch and destroy a field or town than have a coordinated attack! How else would you be able to destroy a mission? :x

Not exactly. More like a system like this, some guy has control of the deck and disallows launching, and now your coordinated attack can't use the CV in any capacity. :aok

You/your mission doesn't own the CV
You are not the supreme commander of [chesspiece]land
Anyone who pays their $14.99/month is entitled to fly from any CV they wish at any time

^ What he said.

Hmm
Interesting wish, but I don't think it would happen.
-
I love when people say they're pushing for more diversity when actually they intend to limit it.

Well some don't see the reprocussions of the wish until it's put up here on the forums, then they get a different perspective on their idea. Some of the ideas I've wished for had good intent, but would've ended up hurting the game in a way I didn't see when I first thought of/posted the wish.
From what I see in this wish it's suggesting realism. However, there have been very similar wishes in the past like this, but it was for mission planning purposes. Their heart was in the right place, but the abuse factors ultimately made the wish not happen.
:salute

Correct. Actually fighting other players is more important than playing land-grab against buildings and AI ack guns. I can see we are ont he same page here :t
How else would you be able to destroy a mission? :x
YESSSS!!!!!! DEATH TO ALL "MISHUNNNZZZZZ!!!!!!"

Answer- So asking you to wait for misson to launch is just rude?

Answer Yes you are free to screw your teamates

Answer Yes you are free to screw your teamates
I don't have "team mates". I have other individuals who pay their own $14.95 and who happen to be on the same arbitrary chess piece. Those "team mates" who are deliberately avoiding having to dogfight, EVER, so they can feel good about shooting buildings (Yes, that is EXACTLY what this crap is about, we both know it) are screwing the game and themselves. Cross-ways, without lube.

You are aware that ff the OP wish was implemented, the teammates can be screwed by a single player way more than now?

NOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOO

NOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOO
Surely you can add more to the conversation than no.. yes?
-
ever notice that the wish list--is becoming more and more about people want to change this great game to fit their own wants.ex--i want total control over tg(task group) so i can shut it down and nobody can use it--i'll move over here-to attack this enemy v-base for a take--but of course the v-base is surrounded by 5 ene air fields and 4 pt spawns--and most of these wisher's are noobs.who don't know what the heck they are doing.
-
Answer- So asking you to wait for misson to launch is just rude?
You could ask, but I'd probably just ignore you :aok
Answer Yes you are free to screw your teamates
If this wish was granted (which it won't be), my teammates would be free to screw me by saying 'NO YOU CAN'T UP FROM C46 UNTIL I SAY SO'
Or, if I had high enough rank (which I never will have), I could say 'NO ONE CAN UP FROM THIS CV EVER HAH HAH NO MISSIONS FOR YOU'
-
while we're at it. naval guns hitting the town/base should make it flash.
-
NOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOO
I think we have a critic. Use your words to explain why you dislike the idea.

+1
This is a fantastic idea ! We could expand it to include:
Base Commander
You will need his permission before you can avail yourself to anything available at the base he commands. He could check your score to make sure you are worthy enough to take one of his aircraft or GV's out. When the adjacent town or base resources have been compromised and need resupplying he could require you to make a C47 supply run before he gave you an asset.
Ords Commander
You wanna carry some bombs? Better see this guy first, and bombs ain't cheap ya know...so if your accuracy sucks he may schedule you for a training session before he allows any of his precious eggs out of his clutch.
Fuel Barron
That fancy V12Merlin sucks fuel like a black hole, maybe it would be better that you fly a 109f for awhile until the strats are resupplied, or maybe you could run some supplies in with that C47 before ya get em.
Strats Mayor
Yeah, this would be the big dog! Ain't nobody getting nuthin until you bow down before him, declare your lifelong allegiance to the chess piece that he keeps supplied with everything you need to wage war. We could call this guy Tony Stark I'm thinking. You want him to roll Trains to your base? Well as a base commander you might be required to dispatch fighters to cover that Train all the way to your base.
Man, this game would be so much cooler if just a chosen few could make us play they way we know we all should!
