Title: Sinking CV
Post by: Xavier on May 11, 2014, 05:07:23 AM: I've recently sunk several CVs that were still stationed at an enemy port, but I was awarded no perks nor dmg for it. Why? Is a CV just "sinkable" once it leaves port? That left me scratching my head... :headscratch:

In my opinion, if they are destroyed, they should increase the respawn time of the CV linked to that port by 10 mins or more .

+1 it only makes sense that the condition of assets on the port effect the respawn of the CV. IE.. how can the CV respawn with ords if ord bunkers are destroyed ? the CV at the docks should be a representation of the CV getting built or repaired and be susceptible to attack. I think it will add another level of strategy to the game. I guess to be fair, you could add auto ack to that CV also. would make taking a port more difficult too.

If they add guns I think they should do 2 auto ack, and 1-2 mannable guns. I do NOT think that the 5in should be one of the guns. I think either the quad 40mm (that is on CV) or 20mms would be acceptable.

The question is though, will you get a safe landing? I will have to try...

Post by: flubiu on May 20, 2014, 03:17:24 PM: I think if you make them a strategic target, you have to allow it to protect itself with auto ack and the ships guns that have not been destroyed or have been repaired should be man-able. otherwise, you will have milk runners perk farming them and ports will be un-defendable. BTW. Yes, you can land on them. I have done it a few times just for giggles.
