I have never retreated as Flagship, and doing so is a bannable offense. However I do have a macro that I might spam if im not the Flagship and Im in a bad mood because Im sick of players bashing CV players for not doing this, or for doing that. I have had enough experience behind a CV, and playing every single ship class and type in this game but kita/tw, I have the exp and wisdom to know what works and what doesnt.
My CV5 Europa has 1 scout, 4 fighters, 1 tb and 2 dbs.
For the most part I fighter blockaide enemey CVs keeping them from launching aircraft. I dont patroll my teams frontlines nor the nuetral zone. I prefer to take the action to them. If im providing fighter blockaide I have the attention of their entire team. I have all the AA ships after me, I have multiple CVs trying to counter my blockaide because im taking about scouts, bombers, and fighters all sink the same.
I also understand the awareness factor and lack thereof. If your on the north front and your blind and you dont fall back and request aircover then your doing something wrong. Team chat is there for a reason. If im on the north front in my carrier and your on the middle or south front having eye sight problems and you dont use team chat in a polite and productive manner then that upsets players.
To teach players to use team chat productively in game such as informing players of incoming bombers, fighters, subs, rushing BBs, torp walls ects I might make such a threat. I seldom see anyone, and when I say seldom I mean less then 1% of all games have I heard any such ingame intel unless I ask for it in team chat. Yet, I provide that info every game regardless of which ship im in. Sometimes I am thanked for the info, sometimes not, but it helps and its polite and productive.
There is a post I made regarding awerness factor, those of you that havent played lvl 100+ of every ship class wont have the same knowledge or exp as those whom have. Again this is off topic and is a reponse to a flamer, both should be removed.
