If a CV launches 9 DB on one pilot, you can be 99% sure he's going to use them to auto DB a nevada and miss.

So those 9 DBs on one pilot are useless.

So AAing them will help the teammate CV by letting him launch another wave faster instead of having to wait for his planes to return from missing auto DB on a nevada.

So by AAing them you're helping the team.

So you should get exp for TKing them.

 

And anyway, a CV launching 9 planes on one pilot is making a negative contribution to the team, so TKing his planes helps anyway.

 

If you have to launch 9 planes on one pilot because your CV4 only has three pilots, you don't deserve to have a CV4.

Here's an idea that doesn't promote random dickheads justifying tking planes left and right:

Cap the amount of planes you can put on one pilot. 

I've never had to put more than 6 planes on one pilot (even then only for late-game with two bombers and a pcv/CV6). 

Any problems with this idea? Easy to impliment, gives noob players who can't comprehend good use of time a forced pull on the reins, and doesn't involve idiots tking their own planes and screwing their own team just because another player is a noob (you'd essentially turn one problem into two, rather than actually fixing anything). 

Once again, you all are totally FAILING. If a person spots a random group of 9 or so planes, he'll shoot it down if he gains XP. Who wants an entire team rendered useless by one Moltke going trigger happy on any group of planes he sees?

On another note, it would require complex programming for the game to determine whether or not you're TK'ing, or "helping the team." Knocking down friendlies is never helping.

Counting the number of planes on one pilot =/= complex programming.

Flaw #1: If a  new CV player only has one fighter pilot, and he stacks 7 on one, and you shoot those down each and every time, not only are you killing his sailors and lowering the amount of planes he has in reserve, but you are making it so HE CAN NOT MAKE A CONTRIBUTION.

Flaw #2: If they're already in the air, they're already in the air, no matter how long it took. If you shoot them down just to have him "do it the right way" you are actually having him take longer because after they were prepped, they had to be again.

Yes it is. It would require an algorithm that would know whether or not a player should get XP by shooting down a group of planes flown by the same pilot.

Someone here said that by shooting down large groups of planes, that would actually HELP CVs by allowing them to reload the same planes across different pilots. 

Let me explain:

I rest my case. Fools.

EXP should be given for TKing CVs that sit at spawn too.

Complex algorithm?

if (plane == dead & numberofplanesonpilot > 7)

     giveexperience();

Flaw #1: If a new CV player only has one fighter pilot, and he stacks 7 on one, and you shoot those down every time, he is doing it wrong, and should either be BWing or have more fighter pilots. So you TK his planes to inform him of that fact.

 

Flaw #2: If they're already in the air, not only is he wasting time, he is about to feed personal credits to the enemy CVs or AA ships by sending his 7 T1 fighters against UFOs or sending his 7 T1 DBs at max height to auto bomb and miss a revenge. So you TK his planes to minimize the enemy credit and exp gain.

 

A new CV player who launches 7 planes on one pilot is fast on his way to becoming a taiho with three pilots.

Yep.

So you tell me this: How, if this is ever implemented (which it will not), will anyone be able to keep AAers from knocking down every large group of friendlies they see?

 And if  you keep shooting down pilots with 7 planes, then soon the low tier CVs will run out of planes.

 
 How will they contribute then?

I think it challenging, yet entertaining, to be able to successfully use my BB even though my CVs are doing nothing by stacking 10 and then getting shot down. If you can't get used to the difficulty, then you shouldn't be playing the game.

They aren't contributing anything by launching 7+ planes on one pilot.  I don't know how many more times I'm going to have to repeat myself.
