Battleship battle
« on: September 16, 2021, 07:53:36 AM »
would anyone be interested in a naval battleship battle? i have a terrain with a bunch of battleship groups, it could be an epic naval battle.

we could do 2 sides, or last man standing. please give me some input? thanks!!

Corsairs and zeros along with pt boats? Not a bad idea. If we could drop the lethality of the guns so the fights last. I can see it!!

A setup where the objective was to sink the other sides fleet instead of capturing land bases would be different

As stated lowering ack effectiveness would improve game play

if we did it that way, you could pick sides, have a captain for the ship and have your friends come in as gunners and pilots. you could pretty much have you're own fleet groups! admirals, squad commanders, pilots and gunners! each ship gets a captain also. this could really get crazy.

hmmm this really could turn into something!

You can call it Midway but need 109's on the carriers :)

You've got a Japanese version of a 109E-4. It's called the A6M2 Zero.

What about adding the feature of low level AI naval bombers groups.  Easy to pick off but deadly to enemy ships.

If you are referring to mission based AI like in Fortress Europe, they can only fly a static route and drop on a predefined spot as defined in the pre-made mission file.

Exactly. And the idea is to get people involved, not AI.

what about with a naval commander for the ship, with a crew of gunners and then a aviation commander in charge of all pilots, with X number of planes/pilots for each carrier/battleship group. then it would be  fleet vs fleet

you'd have ship commanders maneuvering and pilots trying to spot planes. you'd have attack planes for the ships, and fighter cover for the ships, plus gunners for the battle ships and AA.

could be a full blown at sea battle
