OHHHHHHHHHH THE HORROR!!!

 I can already tell by the quality of this whine that MCGavin moved the CV from the feet dry spawn which in my mind is a very lame glitch to the game used both in offense and defense.

If your main interest is base taking with no opposition, flying off the map (for again, fear of opposition) or glitching the game by doing nothing but dropping field supplies so it is impossible to capture. May we perhaps offer you to play offline?

Lame excuse, feet dry spawn or not. Unjustified period.

My viewpoint on CVs when I was playing was the rationalization of tactics by players was a bit odd and, at times, highly emotional. Driving CVs onto the beach was almost always a sure fire was to get the task force sunk. If you can muster the number of aircraft (along with skilled players) to make an efficient attack/capture of an enemy airfield you can do it by launching outside of the dar ring (IMO you should). When I took control of a TF I always reconfigured the waypoints to be not as close. Of course that would often result in another player taking control and changing the waypoints back (even if I explained my reasoning. And woe be it if I took off from a CV as it approached the designated target to CAP because I'll be seen. SMDH *chuckle*

Everyone imagines cheaters everywhere.

I need for you to explain to me how dropping field supplies is 'glitching the game.'  In your explanation, please be sure to cover the fact that supplies have to be dropped from unarmed transports which do not have the ability to outrun any a/c in the inventory, expect the Storch.

Thank you in advance.

Rule #3 What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.  Except redheads, they just kill you.

There are a few places on maps where LVTs spawning from the CV actually spawn feet dry, and in some instances right outside town.

Thanks.  I'm not much of a gv player.  I have seen, in the radio buffer, people complain when someone moves a cv that they were using to get a feet dry spawn.  Never paid it much attention.

The goon is the only undefended supply vehicle. Jeep, LVTs, and M3s all have guns and cam Maneuver OUT of the path of guns (timing is important, and when you get them to crash oh how the giggles roll out of your mouth!)

The point oTRALFZo was trying to make was many of us would rather see other players DEFEND the base instead of resupply it.

Poor sportsmanship at the very most. But I am going to be devil's advocate here and say that it is no different than abusing the feet dry spawn. I thought we got rid of it years ago, where HT had a fit it was being abused however I have seen this drama play out in all 3 countries. Easy fix is to find someone who outranks and takes over command. DONE.

Just because players choose to auto switch,  they want to be a Ship Karen and revoke rights to man task groups? Now you are just being silly. Half the player roster late night is filled with auto switchers. Now they want to take that aspect of the game away from them.

Sink the CV and defend or attack the feet dry spawn point. They’ll stop in 15 mins as the CV will be gone.

Most of the time, the players I see using Tu-2s or B-26’s on the deck have no problem getting to the boat through ack and enemy ftrs. It’s not a skill I’ve developed, but several dozen players are experts at it.

They're casting their bait over there, see?

While I agree that feet dry spawns are undesirable, that is a Map makers error and should be fixable. That having been said, it still does not justify what he did. I concur with the suggestion that ALL auto switchers be restricted from CV control access, tying it into the Perk Point limitations would be a good idea.
