Knights CV

[zack1234]

Anyone who loses more than 4 CVs should be banned from taking control if them for 1 tour

They are usually AFK when they take control

eventually everybody would be banned.  sinking a cv is not really that hard.  I always try it from 6k or less.  you can turn it anyway you want.  only way I am gonna miss it is if I dont calibrate properly or you have a really good gunner on the 5in.

I think there should be either a time limit to how long someone can be in control of the cv. Or a 'banishment' of some sort.  If you are banned after losing 4 cvs for an hour, you only have to wait 30 mins, tops. And that is only if you have 4 enemy bombers right there when you happen to be in control of the cv at that time. Meaning, only those with the intent of getting the cv killed (or the ocassional poor sucker who happens to have 4 cvs under his domain and they all get sunk) get punished and only have to wait 30-60 minutes before they can do it again.

Just as military generals have been fired for their defeats in RL, it would be just fine if they were to be in here.

in that case let's make it fair.   Once you lose 4 airplanes in combat you very kicked out for 1 hr.

How exactly do they take control if they're afk?

In ww2 PTO, there was a heavy bomber group that sank ships level bombing from 7k.

If the AFK player has a higher rank than anyone trying to boot him. CV sunk.

We loose CV under our noses because the same energizer bunny in a fighter keeps suicideing to lay bombs and rockets into the CV every sortie over a short period of time. Adds up, especially when a lone bomber box runs by and gets a partial stick in finishing the job.

Knights do a generally poor job of defending their CV's, positioning their CV's, and targeting the enemy cruiser first, or bombing down the shore batteries. Most knights associated to a CV just want to get in the air, get off their ord and vulch. Sometimes they luck out and get some brilliant gunners in the 5inch. I'm still waiting for that brilliance to move to the 8inch sea mode yellow hash ladder and the 3 salvos needed to kill the enemy cruiser first. The enemy CV cannot sink your cruiser with three salvos. But, it's cruiser sure blipping darned can.

Knight land has many more problems with CV than some afk dork sitting on his throne reading a playboy.

It is a Knight tradition to sail our fleets into shore batteries, enemy PT spawns and near enemy fields that have ordnance available.

Generals not the average pilot.....and I was saying that in reference to a major defeat not the average pilot in control of one aircraft..

Sounds like the Bishops.


Thank you for the compliment Baron   Record shot in the 5in is 11.7k so far, as for the 88mm, 8k direct hit, 9.3k for 'puff' .

Still have room for improvement though, when I get above 20% accuracy you have something to fear.

have you ever noticed that most of the time nobody is in charge of any fleet?  we had 2 cv's sunk today and I saw nobody in charge.  besides there's always somebody with a higher rank.  that can take over.

this is more like "all the buffs players are bailing..." stuff than what actually happens in the game.

To be fair, many times the cv is destroyed by someone who turned it the "wrong" way. Or were outsmarted by the bombers.  As for the bomber comment, I had one day where every bomber I encountered (all 8 of them) did bail when I went to engage or follow them.  Doesn't mean all that hop in a bomber bail, just means those I encountered on that select day did.

I do agree with you that sometimes it sounds suspicious.  there was a time when I was in command of a cv, back when my rank used to be in the 200's.  I dodged no less than 8 sets of bombers while allowing our planes to take off as they were attacking the base.

I think I was in control sitting in the tower over 30 minutes.  the minute another set of bombers sank the cv then I was called stupid and blah, blah, blah.  I had asked repeatedly for guys to destroy the ammo bunkers on the base we were attacking.  that's where all the bombers came from.

there was another time I caught this guy moving 5 fleets to the same point on the map.  I took several pictures and sent them to ht.  but those are rare.

most of the time the cv gets sunk because nobody is in charge of it.
