How about perks for command of CV with no control whatsoever of the flight deck?  I might be able to live with that.

Then a simple fix would be to disable, closing the flight deck, when there are enemy within radar range.

Or better.  Someone could switch sides and, while the cv is within radar range, close the flight deck. 

Let the fun times ensue.

 :devil

Lots of wishes about limiting what people can fly and/or from where.   It does not promote game play by taking away what you can do presently.

I think that the CV commander should be able to set the CV speed from full speed, take off speed, and full stop. Planes cannot up when the CV is going full speed but may take off at take off speed (half speed?) or full stop. If some one is abusing this, then 5 players with a rank of under 500 may submit to "mutiny" the ship and lowest score of the subordinates gets the ship. This would also make level bombing almost impossible so you could hit 2 birds with 1 stone  :aok

Wow I think the mutiny thing is a really good idea! Why don't we have this already?

I see your point wrongway, games like, football, baseball, and basketball just fell apart because "someone" wanted to make rules and enforce them.

Every game has limits and rules, discussing the possibility of changing them, does not necessarily mean that it will automatically "not promote game play". It would be a worthwhile discussion to have about any "wish", to see if it either positively or negatively impacts game play.

The main point I was trying to make with my response to this wish is this; currently the player who has control of the CV suffers no impact (good or bad) for how they handle the carrier group. It can easily be said that the CV jockey who drives the CV into the PT spawn just to try and spawn LVT's feet dry is taking away from my game playing experience. If someone so desperately needs to do something reckless with the CV they should at least suffer the consequences, just like every other aircraft and vehicle in the game.

Many players will consider 10 perks a cheap price for all that whines they will enjoy when they shut down CV flight deck during a battle...


Ok, then my idea with the addition of, when there are enemies in range, the fight deck opens up.

CV sneaked to enemy base. In CV tower: 12 guys preparing to up a mission to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting enemy, hoping for a quick grab or just to start a huge fight.

Enter Lusche. Lusche spends his 10 perks and closes flight deck, just for fun. Mission can't take off. Flight deck stays closed unless the CV finally gets spotted by the enemy. Players going ballistic on local vox and countrychannel.

Good idea?

I think Baumer was going somewhere with his idea but I might have a much simpler solution to our dilemma.  Turn friendly fire on in the MAs, carry out your CV mission and if somebody tries to up early, smoke em' with the 5".  See how many planes he has to go through before he picks up on the hint that the flight deck is closed for business.   :aok

Our carriers had crash nets back then that they deployed for battle damaged aircraft.  What if the CV commander could just control that and make it so that it only stays up temporarily (like 2 minutes or something) before needing to be reset.  Another abuse tool for sure.

I've got an idea...  Leave it how it is, and try really hard when somebody ups from a CV and flashes a base a little sooner then your "master plan" is designed to allow...

I still prefer the idea of red and green lights.
This way the players are notified / advised when (not) to take-off, although they may do so anyway.

No restrictions :)
