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)

Have there been any new updates about aircraft carriers lately? I saw some game file leaks a while back that showed animations of carrier jets folding their wings. Does that mean playable aircraft carriers are going to be added to the game soon?

No we are more likely to first get subs. Carriers will happen likely after a April fools event concerning command and control with Carriers.

The 9M311 missile component of the Kortik CIWS mounted on Admiral Kuznetsov is now functional !
Bvvd has confirmed the Type 003 -class, Fujian, will be added in the rough timeframe of sometime this year, as well as some other info regarding carriers:
While the fleet/era segment is probably referring more towards the escorting ships rather than the carriers thenselves, it 's possible that more post-WW2 carriers might be part of the plans anyway, especially since his other posts on the thread mention additional maps / scenarios are planned for deployment w/in the wider development of Nuclear Escalation.
