Ok, I assumed you guys wanted to stop people from launching from a CV so as to be able to continue shelling a base with nobody noticing...

However, since it is possible to take off from a carrier that's turning, even in a heavy CV based a/c.. I still don't get it.

mission joiners should practice their airmanship.  :aok

Kvou,
The point of this wish is so that when you try to sneak a CV close to an enemy base for a sneak attack, you can close the flight deck to prevent a lone wolf just upping 5 minutes before the launch of the mission and thus alerting the opposition.

I agree that shelling a base should cause the base to flash and alert the owner of that field. Even though people can take off with a turning CV some of the newer members may not have mastered that skill yet (I still have difficulty).

As I have said before, my main reason for opposition to this wish is how easy it would be to abuse. I think we can all imagine that someone feels annoyed at the CV not being used for THEIR purposes and so as the mission launches, or just after (Before a cap is established) they close down the flight deck, preventing the reinforcements from arriving. That is my main problem with this idea.

Correct--- in theory if you locked the launch you would also be preventing people from launching into manable guns.

OP, and earl...

I assume you both agree with me that  the base should flash when being shelled with 8" guns from the cruiser.. correct?



I am hoping we see this one implemented eventually as well.  You would think someone would hear three round salvos of 8" shells impacting from miles away.  Not to mention virtual townsfolk may complain a bit as their little village is being destroyed.  Used to Live near Ft. Lewis when the 105's and 155's were fired up.  The Arty was 15-20 miles away and you could still hear a deep bass "whump" with every impact.

When a misson is planned you would only stop launch of ac or lvt's, gun still would be active for shelling.
As for the guy who says its my $15 and i will do want i want .How about showing just a little respect to other players?
Placing a  dialog box option of joining misson when it launches would really make things simpler on cv lock down.
This is all based on cv control by misson planer.

Have ever you seen any townsfolk? Any sign of town life? Opened shops, people, cars or carriages? Any sign on life on the country side?  :noid

AH is a world deserted by it's former inhabitants. There are not even refugees to be found anywhere. No wonder considering the terrible wars that rage across the lands all the time  :old:

-1 just another way for the horde to grab more undefended bases. Maybe the mission planners that bring 40+ guys to a fight should have a little more respect for the rest of the community and at least give people a chance to fight back.

You are directing that comment at me. I know that because I am the person who said "It is my money (I never actually said $15, for me its GBP) and I will do what I want.'

Question: Did you even bother to read my OTHER replies, the ones to Earl? If not go back and read them. THEN come back and tell me to show respect. Untill you have read all of my comments, do not ask me to show respect to the other players.

1cane, I am, to my knowledge, the only person who has said in this thread 'It is my money and I will do as I like', Therefore it is almost certain that the comment was directed at me.
I do not believe that a discussion that was started in public should be finished in any other way.

My  comment was made in general. It was nor directed at macleod01. He is not the only one ever to make that comment nor will he be last. I have read all post that have made on the subject and have not attacked anyone here personally.
