So what do yall think.
I think that instead of having floatplanes we should have a redesign of the port base itself so that every port has at least the facilities of a small airfield. It just doesn't make sense to have a port, arguably one of the most important bases, unable to defend itself without the carrier group sitting offshore. Having at least a small airfield along with it (3 fighter hangers, 2 bomber hangers, 1 vh and plenty of AAA) would seem a better option. Also - a positioning of shore batteries so that they can actually COVER the approaches to a base would be nice as well.
