  • Launch More Planes

First: NF would need to improve the servers... (yeah right)
______________________________________________



Give CV's the ability to launch 2 or 3 times as many planes as they currently can.

Why are bb's and other ships given true life abilities or in some cases, unrealistically
incredible abilities and yet cv's are nothing if not limited?!

CV's are given backseat roles in what could otherwise be a very fun game for them.
When I'm driving my cv, I see a lot of sitting targets down there but I am held back
by the small number of planes that I can put in the air. At best, we can launch a
dozen or so planes at any given time. In WWII, cv's could put as 50 or more planes
up at once, if not many more!

It's simple, once NF decides to decrease the lag somehow, allow cv's to launch twice
as many planes. BB drivers get to throw massive amounts of lead across the map.
CA drivers get to dominate the middle lines with superior speed and big guns. CL's
throw up sheets of AA flak or lay down walls of torpedoes. DD's speed around
depth charging subs, throwing out small walls of torps, or even getting into
slugfests with CL's and other DD's. Frigates ffffictory their way to xp. Subs sneak
around messing up everyone's game. CV's... Well, CV's scout or send up 3 or 4
bombers with the hope of finding some hapless target somewhere that the bb's
haven't already gotten to. CV's beg for table scraps in their own home. CV's don't
dominate anything and they should!

The answer is simple. Give CV's a way to be more effective. Give them something
they can work with. They are Aircraft Carriers! Let them carry planes! More
importantly, let them launch more planes!

on the flipside...

can you imagine how more fun you'd have in an Emden or an Oakland? If you could
shoot down a squadron of 5 planes, you could just as easily murder 2 squadrons
and get twice the points.

Anyway, this would never happen anyway. Or, knowing NF as we all do, they would
imlement this without upgrading the servers.

Pros:
-More creds/points from a CV if you're a higher lvl CV
-More exp if you know what you're doing
-More interaction for higher lvl CV players. (face it, some of us can just launch a wave
of planes, place them somewhere and forget about them. come back 2 minutes later, and they
haven't been touched or they've shot down a few enemy planes)
-More targets in the air, which reaps higher exp and such for lower lvl players making a
grind that much more fun (how many players run AAW ships and end up in a battle where the
enemy CV's rarely send a plane your direction either because your CV's wipe them all out,
there's like 1 enemy CV, or they sit on the far side of your BBs and if you go out to get
them you get shot)
-Less chance of being blind (depending on the player)
-Possibly, better all around battles where the BB's actually have to use their scouts

Cons:
-It's too much to have to load 20+ planes on just a few pilots
-More BW CV's killing something with the 1st set of bombs (it already happens now to
BB1-3's and that's just frustrating to be killed immediately by a BW CV at the start)
-More AA which means more lag for a few unfortunate player
-Possibly some players AB'ing more creds out of every battle with this



IF this were to ever be implemented, they would need to:
increase the amount of planes carried by a CV
decrease the loading time
find some way to prevent BW CV's from devastating the battles
somehow allow more than 8 pilots on the CV (make it like 12 pilots on a CV to help loading
times)
fix some of the lag issues with AA



I'm somewhere in the between with this idea. As a PCV player, I like it. However, the cons
in this do outweigh the pros (im going with the BW CV thing). I'm not one who gets lag all
that often, but it sucks to have seen people leave the game because of some of the lag
issues. Once again, something does need to be done about the BW CV's. As it stands right
now, they can decimate a BB1-3 at the very start of the battle; imagine if they had 2x/3x
the planes, then they could wipe out BB4-6's in 1 pass. If they could find a way to
prevent a CV from being a BW and make sure that no lag is caused of the increased amount
of planes/AA, then yeah, I'm all for giving this an experimental try.

Unfortunately, as of now, no recc from me. Sorry.

Would increase BWs,Lag, and wouldnt do much good because 40% of the CVs out there would
just use the right click to "guard" function for ftrs, leave their ftrs circling/not watch
them. Would let the others that do drag completely rape other CVs...

Not Recced.

and this is only one of the many ways to improve cv's but like all the others, it will
never happen. And of all of the many ideas and improvements, I firmly believe that
simply launching a few more planes would be among the best of them. Even if we
only get half again what we can now, that might just make the difference. It would
stir the pot and it wouldn't upset the bb's too much if a Europa launches another
seven planes... I understand that launching twice as many would seriously bog
down the servers and would give too much to cv's. Allowing a cv6 to launch 21
planes would give a little more power to use without adding a burden to the many
AA boats out there that are always eager to shoot down another squadron of
bombers.

I agree with him. I have a europa and its boring. the battleships complain. the aa ships
take every chance to go after your planes. The exp rate is low. I find myself forcing
myself to use my cv. Its obvious something has to be done. Look at the GB rooms and ask
yourself. Do we spend anytime waiting for Battleships?

not possible cause of crappy server. upgrade first the server to lessen the lag. then we
start recommending some idealistic change in the game..
