ahh I thought initially a Ftr but it’s the CV itself. Lets load those Ftr Aces on it and see how those sneak attackers like that lol

@The-Captain Hello there Cap. Any update on this topic. Heavy Carriers sound very interesting

[Imperious Leader]

The Largest Carriers were called “Fleet Carriers”

[The Captain]

Hi @Imperious-Leader

Thanks for your comment.

True - Fleet Carriers were the largest of the Aircraft Carriers.

For Game Play Reasons we decided to name them Heavy Aircraft Carrier units - in the same way as we developed the rules for Super Heavy Battleship units.

@Trout

Hi Trout,

Yes - we expect to be able to release the rules with 2-3 weeks.

[The Captain]

The Heavy Aircraft Carrier rules are now added to the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion thread - see page 1, additional rule No. 17.

Hi Captain

What is a Tank Buster & Ground Attack unit. Is that a future unit or a retired one ?

Edit
Just to clarify, Allied Bmbrs can also use the Heavy CV ? Same as Ftrs and Tacs ?

Edit 2
Air Commanders can activate a Air Fleet as well then. Is that correct ? While on a Hvy CV ?

Edit 3
They cannot

Edit 4
lol sorry :) Can an Air Fleet then Defend on a Heavy CV ?

Edit 5
Obviously my reading retention skills w/e that is lol are not very good.
No Air Commanders on “Heavy Aircraft Carrier” but the AC is allowed on normal CVs ? Air Commander operates under Ftr rules though. So hmm … :)

Thanks

@barnee

1. A Heavy Aircraft Carrier operates under Aircraft Carrier rules - with the exceptions mentioned in the rules.

So yes - air units from a Nation allied to the owner of the Heavy Aircraft Carrier unit can land on and take off from the Heavy Aircraft Carrier unit.

2. The rules for Tank Buster & Ground Attack Air Unit are not yet fully play tested - we expect to be able to release these rules no later than 16th December this year.

@The-Captain

When a Heavy Carrier gets 1 hit, can they still carry planes?

Thanks

Hi Panzer,

A Heavy Aircraft Carrier unit must be undamaged in order to carry any air units.
