  • There were more than just TB and DB

Well, heres my suggestion.


In world war II they had TB, DB, FP, and recon planes.
There was more than that.
Like carpet bombers, and planes with more torpedos.

Like the B17 Flying fortress. Carpet bomber.
My suggestion is that you can load these, which requires like 500 space per plane. and you can only launch one per squad.
Then have guns in front and rear to defend themself, but they cant take that much. So you could escort them by selecting your squad and right click on the bomber to 
How to control:


Just fly your Carpet bomber and press . to drop the bombs, which are like 10. They arent that powerfull like 1 db.
Like normal HE damage is 2000 for one bomb, its 1000 or 500 for 1 bomb. You can load your carpet bombers with bombs but they are less powerfull
So when you fly your bomber at max. height and you press the divebomb button you should release the bombs.
They are slow, but can take way more AA shells than regular planes. The altidude is just like DB's.

Torpedo bombers how to controll:

Just the same, they carry 2 or 4 torpedo's and they are bigger than the other tb's just like a recon plane , like the catalina.
You drop the torpedo just as you drop it regulary. The torpedo's are a little weaker. and you can only launch 3 per squad with a maximum of 9 in the air.


This was my idea, it took me a few minutes to work it out, hope you guys like it.

Help is welcome i could make more of this if people like it i can make screens with my own planes to show what I mean.

i actully like this idea, i think it would be something new to cvs and different tactics would be involved, also alot of people would really like this and might improve the cv population, since there are alot more bb players then cv players....they might need to add another based then idk what but like multi bomber or something like that :P

great idea

those b17 didnt take off from the carriers. they took off from an off map airfield and kates were not carpet bombers. it was a tb

Even using short runway take off configuration, B17 and B29 had trouble taking off from a runway. Why do you thonk the atomic bombs were armed only in flight?

Also who would control the field? Fleet leader? Think he doesn't have a BB or CV to control? Or a fleet to coordinate?

Also the game is about ships. Not the air land and sea invasion.

It would fit on the deck, but its too large to takeoff at the short runway.


Try maybe B25 mitchells, google Doolittle raid, I do believe that they were only loaded with a light load and had defensive guns taken off and replaced with wooden brooms to deter any attackers and they also had to land in china

but that's a one-time only special raid with modified B-25 Mitchells that served only to boost morale among the American troops in the Pacific and the bomber crews had to crash land in China. The only way we will see level bombers in game is in Harbour Assault for the defending side as the defenders have land airbases

When I mean in Harbour Assault I mean the defending sides as the heavy level bombers get launch from airfields on land as part of the Harbour land defenses. Those airfields are large enough. No carrier during ww2 or even today can launch heavy bombers.

The attacking side should also have something extra's then, like rockets (suggested already)
Which can be mounted on APA ships.
