@jkprince indeed 🙂
Thank you both for your interest!

In WaW the B.Carrier is available after the First turn, not right at the beginning. It could be nerfd in a similar way for PtV.
You meant “fourth”.
-
And do you mean then that noone would be able to purchase carriers until turn 4?
-
Cool ideas, but it would be more helpful for us if we keep the conversation focused on the specific proposals (A or B) mentioned in my prior post–i.e., increased cost with additional carrying capacity, or limiting the scramble to 3 per sea zone. Which is better? Thats what we’re grappling with right now.
-
We were.
-
@regularkid we were!😁
-
@trulpen with the start of G3 would be suitable.
-
B solution for me…
but I would like a limit per aircraft carrier group … not an overall limit
analogy with airports
-
ah I read that it was already considered… maximum three planes for SZ, sorry
this can also result in multiple fleets (as in reality) and not huge stacks of aircraft carriers…
so how was the stack reduced in russia (german and russian) maybe solution B could do the same in the pacific?
-
If we’re taking a vote, mine is prop B. Limit upto 3 per SZ. I don’t see that changing CV carry capacity will help. I would think it add to the problem.
-
I’m inclined to think proposal B but I would like it to be considered a trial to see how it goes. I assume this also applies to carrier to land scrambling as well. That would make it harder for a large fleet to defend a relatively smaller landing which seems to be a good thing.
-
@surfer Proposal A helps the problem because the scramble capacity for each carrier remains one, even tho the carriers are more expensive (and therefore less numerous on the board). Also, with each carrier holding three planes, the attacker can bring more carrier-based planes to the attack, relative to the number of carrier based planes that can scramble in the defense (3 to 1, vs. 2 to 1 in the current version).

Yes. The “three plane” limit would apply to carrier scrambles to adjoining land battles as well.

@regularkid No it makes the problem worse. 6 planes + 2 CVs in new system = 100 IPCs. 6 planes + 3CVs in original system = 108 IPCs.
-
@surfer there are less casualties though
What if you make it so that 1 plane can scramble per carrier, 3 from each sz of carriers. This would allow you to scramble more than 3 at times if you can manage to put together a strong enough navy to hold 2 zones.

Well, the point is, under proposal A, you’re paying 100/108 of the cost for 2/3 of the scramble capacity. Also, in your comparison, you’re getting fewer hitpoints/combat power for your money (i.e, three cariers is 6 HP, and 3 defense power. . . two carriers is only 4 HP, and 2 defense power). There is no question that proposal A substantially nerfs newly purchased carriers relative to their cost.

That is precisely what proposal B calls for.
-
@regularkid well then im for proposal b
-
@WindowWasher Yea! One more in my camp.
-
If you add the proposal A carriers, I think you drift too far away from the original game. It’s already a different game, but that would fundamentally change a lot of strategies and uses for pieces.
-
@WindowWasher sure, i approve.
