want to know whats wrong with this weeks setup?

Chasing formations of Boston IIIs last night was not amusing.

 I had forgot to disable formations, I dropped the ball on that sorry.



Prefferably we'd have a B-25D and a G4M2 so that bombers weren't overwhelmingly fast.  That would be a huge help.




so it is probably best to just leave out twin engined bombers from early war setups.

Ill take out the Boston for this week and if I run this again Ill give Warlocs idea a go.

i agree about the bombers being left out in early war setups.. it'd give the sbd/val/kate some time to shine.

The TBM carries as much as the boston anyway plus you have the ventral gun where as you don't on the Boston.

TBM doesn't belong in early war setups either.

At least not that TBM.  The TBF IIRC had it's combat debut at Midway.

But I agree with shane.

Your right the TBF but we don't have it. Guess we will have to do with the SBD's. If you take out all the bombers then it's furball city and while that is pleasing to some it is not pleasing to all.

I think this was asked once before but going to ask again is there anyway to lock out just the 5 and 8 inch guns? If so we can have some AAA defence fo the carriers.

Actually, the SBD-5 doesn't belong in early war setups either.

That said, the CTMs have to work with what they have and the SBD-5 and TBM-3 are both reasonable enough substitutes for their earlier counterparts.

I just wish we had matching oposing forces.  A TBD and SBD-3 against a D3A1 and B5N2 or a SBD-5 and TBM-3 against a D4Y and B6N2.

It still has the auto ack enabled so its not totally with out protection. As far as I know a M16 or Ostwind enabled on a CV will just spawn in the water like a PT boat. And you'll drown:D

If it were possible to turn off the 5 and 8 inch guns the Cv's wouldn't be defenseless we would still have the 40 and 20mm's but since it is all or nothing.

I still say we need an LVTA4M16:lol

The map would have to be setup to allow a vehicle entry point on a CV...  

would be rather odd .. but funny   :)
