Edwin P. Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 In WWII the Japanese trained to sink ships using air units. The US later learned the same tactics. This made carriers the superior weapon for Naval Engagements. Naval Air Tech (For Carriers) Increases Carrier's Naval attack and Carrier attack rating by +1. Does not affect Naval or Carrier Defense Rating - as Carrier aircraft were a first strike weapon. Max Limit: +2 (or +3) MPP Cost: 125 With this tech Carriers could assume the importance that they had during WWII, if a nation decided to focus on developing their carrier naval attack strength. Though this tech makes carriers more lethal, the long build time associated with carriers will make player very protective of them.

Fartknock3r Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Good idea. I'll try and use it for my Pacific Mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Carriers can upgrade their air values to the current "advanced aircraft" and "long range aircraft" tech levels - is that what you mean?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin P. Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 The existing upgrade (Advanced Aircraft) and Long Range) does not affect the strength of carrier attacks against naval ships. I would like to see a new tech that allows them to increase their attack value vs Naval shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bromley Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Couldn't it just be a function of Advanced Aircraft (rather than a separate tech)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Why not just increase their attack value against shipping? Do we really need another tech? Tie it to Advanced Air and there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 My thoughts exactly Lars. I'm against any side specific tech categories. This tech would largely favor Allies as Italy and Germany will probably never build carriers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashy Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 As a counter you would have to make planes/bombers also increase in their attack bonus vs. ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 You might be able to afford the technology & the price to upgrade around the year 1968. Please use the editor to have the game last that long. The USA/UK are broke in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
