Carriers

0-0-1-16 2 hitpoints planes cant land on them after the first point, until they are repaired. idk guys carries (without planes) dont have any guns. so WHY give them any defensive value? or offensive value either? They arent EVER used for attack, they sit in the back and let the planes to that.

There arent any NO’s in this game…just the global game

Per LH

No tech, but there will be NOs. Actually – there well be tech but it will only be used in what I’m calling the “Global game”.

I think 1-1-2-16 sounds good. Carriers did have defenses against planes but not really against other ships, that is why I think the original 3 defense was whack. I think the best solution should be 0-1-2-15, either that or what I mentioned above.

Thanks jonnymarr, I have never been happy to be wrong. But this time…its actually cool. I love the NOs in AA50.glad they will be in AAP40

Johnnymarr’s doing a great job keeping things straight with quotes from Larry.  How about everyone throwing him a +1?

Here’s a great job and a pat in the back from me!

How do we give +1’s/-1’s to people? I have not seen a button to do that yet….

Would you like to name a few?

I sense a george bush joke in the works!...guys those are sooo 2007. I would hate to have been chairman maos kid though…

If Carriers still cost 14 but take 2 hits to destroy, then they would be more useful as hitsoaks than as fighter deployers, even if you need a Port to repair, and even if they have no real combat power.  They would be either take 2 hits at 7 IPCs apiece, or 1 hit for free per 14 IPCs worth of Carriers.

Maybe they should have it at 1-1-2-18, but declare that after 1 hit, only 1 Aircraft can land on it, rather than none?

idk…I think that would get abused. especially by america.

I agree with the higher cost. I don’t agree with planes landing after 1 hit.

Just keep them as in AA50, 1-2-2-14, 1 hit to die. If works, why changing?
