I’m leaning more towards carriers probably being useless just because I don’t see Gaijin making good aircraft AI.

For “sending all squadrons at a single ship” that just seems like a lot of kills for the ship even if it eventually dies. Plus, that’s the equivalent of shooting all ammo at one ship, it’d be bad balancing if it doesn’t die when you practically spend your whole combat capability doing this.
Only risk here I see is that Gaijin might see this as excuse to ruin air kill rewards in general, because that seems like something they’d do when there’s suddenly more air targets.

Yeah true, that’s probably the main issue. Everything else could be balanced with enough effort, but this would just be a pain. At best I could imagine a system where running out of aircraft (all aircraft died) is a death, but then people could still just not launch the last ones and we’d be back at the same issue.


(I still need to read this topic so some of this might be really wrong, it’S just continuing another conversation)

Can gaijin please just give us playable aircraft carriers for the love of god it would be the best thing to naval and AAA guns.

Unironically, the Carriers would actually made the AA batteries matter on ships instead of being some way to get a cheeky kill at times (I did managed to kill a Sharn on Kron one time after it took out all my main and secondary ammo. Crew kill via anti-air guns, lol)
