not recc. Fighters are meant to intercept bombers and keep the skies clear from other
fighters not to attack ships. If you want a plane to attack ships use bombers

This post started 5 years ago and NF hasn't embraced it.

I am not confident they will. But I recommend it wholly.

I also think that Rockets and cannons should be part of the Machine gun mix.

The damage should be minimal, but effective. Sustained strafing should eventually
sink any ship. sailor kills might be advantageous in getting a BB to turn tail.

Right click just like a torpedo bomber, fighters would dive, strafe, then climb back to
altitude. It would run the ammo out of the fighter quicker. Ship's air guns could be
increased in lethality for defense.

This will probably create more fighter-only CVs however. Add L100 medium bombers
with multi bomb payloads. Drop Depth charges from scouts?

Oh...and more fuel.

Fighters damaging ships can only occur to destroyers, frigates, APA's and if such ships
are created Ammo carriers (gives ammo and speeds up reloading), Oil tankers (increase
overspeed time), fleet repair ships (increase the speed of repairs) fleet tenders
(disguised as Battleships distracting players from the real battleships) and aircraft
tenders (replenish the number of planes on carriers ,can be upgraded to launch Heavy Recon
Planes)

Obviously you wouldn't want to strafe anything with powerful AA, but I think this would
be an interesting attack against light ships such as FFs and DDs.

I figure it would be like getting chewed with those KM SS4 Flak guns, only that the
planes could only do this in short passes. Flak tend to do nothing against large ships,
but hurt against those with no armor.

Since this is an attack on a player ship, there should probably be some sort of control
scheme worked out where you need to give some skillful input for them to carry out the
action well.



Well, it has 64 recommendations, maybe it should be looked into

epic necro is epic?

Make it kill only recruits and do some very light damage per hit.

heres an idea, ONLY make strafing kill sailors. Auto AA would be a factor, and im
surprised NF hasnt cought on 2 this 2 heavily yet because more vets killed= a higher
salary for them. Also, would add more realizim to the game.

Still is a pretty good Idea.

wow this was posted back in beta testing i dont think its going to happen lol!!

maybe make them buzy up automatic aa so that the TBs attacking at the same time would
gain less damage
