The USS Essex [gun]

Hey,

Can it -please- be lowered in power (not against air units!), like that the missies will do 0% damage against infantry/ground vehicles, of possible, and a much higher reload time.

It's to prevent this:

(the right gun)

It went on the whole round... and he eventualy got around 15/20 kills!

Easily countered by the the zoom of tanks.

Haha, that's awesome. Carrier bombarding. I'll remember to use that gun when playing Gulf of Oman.

This shows the value of bombarding the beaches before a landing. Bring on the Destroyers. HMS Manchester FTW!!!

The USMC have a hard enough time already.

Missiles kill, why should it not be like that ingame?

It's not sniping, BTW.

Hm, people often forget about the other CIWS near the bridge of the carrier... Double the missiles, double the bullets, double the fun! You should be happy only one of CIWS was actually being used.

The missiles shouldn't do any damage to Tanks and APCs. Everything else they should kill outright. All they are is flak missiles. They are designed to explode before they hit the target and send shrapnel into them. This means they are deadly to anything unarmored.

Well, I'm sure if one of those things smacks into something, damage will be dome.

You can only destroy the Essex, if you park a tank at the most southern point of the beach, a little peninsula, from there you can see onto the carrier, if you have your view distance maxed out, that is...

DEVs, you wanted a replacement for artillery? There you are.

And while you're there you might as well blow up all the aircraft on the carrier as well

now did I not tell fuzz not to up the view distance on Gulf of Oman for this reason?

and you can't move the carrier because lightmaps would need to be totally re-done

El_Vikingo · Post by **El_Vikingo** » 2007-07-25 12:08

Or remove that delta.

Post by **fuzzhead** » 2007-07-25 15:57

map will be tweaked in a future patch thanks for testing

you mean spit? then you would 1, need to include the new client files with the release, 2, relightmap the terrain and 3, drop the map cos its not worth having it with the new client files

EDIT: also its not just on that small area of the coast, most of the coast you can see the carriers outline on.

What's the distance between the spit and the carrier? 200 metres?
