Title: Suggestion- Targets for Torps besides CV group
Post by: AAvenger on August 13, 2002, 03:50:14 PM
Put some static ships near bases .  Making a torp run is pretty much suicide unless there are a million other planes around the area.  Maybe a few parke ships that re spawn once in a while would make for some interesting torpedo solo missions.

Although I see what you are saying I cant see a reason for it in the MA, unless the ships were part of a supply chain.

However on the other hand this sounds like a good idea for the training room and offline to be able to practice dive bombing and torpedo launches,  unless someone knows away to disable the ack on the cv.

This would be a GREAT reason to add some cargo ships!  Right now, all fields get their resupply from convoys of trucks.  Perhaps some fields should have ship convoys as well/instead?

Some DO have ship convoys. They just LOOK like trains.

Yes some terrains do have barges, but for real use of PT boats & Torp practise real merchant shipping would be nice. Combination of single ships plus a big convoy or 2 per country would be nice.

Especially if each country has 2 ports they could run from port to port, stop at airfields close to shore etc.

offline reduce the flak lethality in the arena settings to 0

How about trucks on the beach?

convoys would be a great addition.  Add a couple DD's for scort duties
