Lets Talk PT Boats

[Bardoly]

Actually, this game could use a battlecruiser, and I agree that PT boats would be a little difficult to implement, but with cheap air units ruling the high seas because of fewer sea zones than what are needed, a cheaper naval fodder unit is needed.

Actually, I would like to see the entire naval unit structure to be altered.

I haven’t spent a lot of time on this list, but maybe something like this would work.

submarine          2 attack, 1 defense, 2 move, 6 cost - special abilities - same as OOB
destroyer            1 attack, 1 defense, 2 move, 5 cost - special abilities - same as OOB
cruiser                2 attack, 2 defense, 2 move, 9 cost - (gets 1 aa shot at attacking air units)
battlecruiser        3 attack, 3 defense, 2 move, 12 cost - can shore bombard
pocket battleship  4 attack, 4 defense, 2 move, 15 cost - can shore bombard
battleship            4 attack, 4 defense, 2 move, 19 cost - can shore bombard, takes 2 hits to destroy
escort carrier      0 attack, 1 defense, 2 move, 7 cost - may hold 1 fighter
aircraft carrier      1 attack, 2 defense, 2 move, 13 cost - may hold up to 2 fighters

How about this?:

Move: 1 (can’t leave costal seazones)
Transports: 1 inf
Blocking: none
Atk/def: 1/1
Cost: 4 ipcs

[Imperious Leader]

they should also be like transports where you cannot take them as causalties and they are all killed when the regular ships are destoryed.

Maybe you should change the name to torpedo boats.

Torpedo boats….I like.  I think there kind of a different animal that a PT boat, which used machine guns.

[Imperious Leader]

actually they should have a first strike capability like subs. They rely on surprise after all.

How about torpedo boats attack 2, defend 1, and cost five, otherwise the same as PT boats in terms of movement and hits.
