Just wish I had more time to spend there this week.

Looney Toons, actually:D.  A couple of lines from an old Bugs Bunny episode.  Ah, the classics!

match up seems fine, conditions and goals seem kind of stupid, imho.

have the bases been hardened? if not they should be, plus being down with no regen (even a slightly longer regen) is dumb.

for example, tonight, the nearest base that had ija fighters was a good 40-50 miles away, all other bases had either 25% gas or no FH's up.  throw in the fact that the allies had nbrs, 2:1 when i logged on, but narrowed a little bit after a while... didn't seem very appealing to fly ija.

why do cv's regen  but bases don't?

no to mention having to position cv's for a new line of attack (keeping them safely away from bases) takes time, long time to fights with crappy radar coverage means a lot of dot chasing, which is a little difficult with 25% gas and slower planes.

i pass on this setup as presented - oh let me go fly allied before i come back and pass final judgement.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

Well Shane, as of tonight when I left NO US CV had been sunk at all,at any time since it was reset up on Sunday I think it was.

 CV down times are as long as the Airfield down times.

 The CV's have for the most part been closly monitored during peak play time by the Staff, I was regreatably pulled away tonight for about an hour do to a real world issue, but I did get heir in time to "Jump" the fleats to the other side of the map whear fresh bases existed.

ergRTC there you go posting those silly stats agian. Look how many F6Fs were killed by "proxy" kills by attacking fields with zeros near by, streaming in one by one. Then we got the furball stuff again.....etc etc etc. I could go on.

However, with all that aside, it was a very good set-up.

Brady I learned a bit more about the Cvs this set-up. Thanks again for putting up with my questions.

Ya think AH will remodle the CVs so we can see smoke damage, holes in "wooden"decks etc from bomb hits?

One more question, does CV get fuel supply limits, ord. supply limits, below deck hanger damage simular to fields? Loss of power, loss of directional control when torp takes out rudder?. hehehe sorry, maybe in vers 1.30? :D

No they suffer no apricable effect's untill they sink.

  I too would like to some more advanced ship damage modeling.

i think your a little late to this party hawk, I posted that quite a while ago.  I wonder what they look like now? ;)

I have to agree that the cvs were a little toooooo uber on this map.  I think this setup would work with ki 43s, k27s and a6m2s vs the old fashioned f4fs, p40bs, and sbds though.  That would limit bomb load and allow enemy bases to hold up a little better.

The cvs need to fixed before we return here though.  I spent a bit of time on wednesday trying to sink one and it was a little disheartening.  The window for cv damage does keep a lone dairy farmer from sinking em though.

Also, I would make downtime 7 hours next time.  That way we can feel sure a base we destroy will be dead for the rest of the night, but stuff other guys did the day before will be coming back up.

All in all I really liked it, just needs some tuning.  Maybe we will see it again in 1.3 as mentioned above.


aw had smoke on the carriers.  If they had it....
