The captain of a ship at sea is ALWAYS the senior most officer on board, even if an Admiral is visiting, the captain can, technically at least, give the Admiral an order. So the CAG has to answer to the carrier's captain AND the battle groups admiral.

Well actually there were only 3 ConFed carriers at Vukar, the Gettysburg is a cruiser (only carries around 2 squadrons), the book incorrectly implys it is a carrier. I just skimed the book so I may have missed something but 10 Cat carriers start on the way to Vukar, but Thrak takes 3 of them...

Re: Re: New Wing Commandre Game In Develpoment! ... that and giveing the comm camera the finger :D

What's the difference? :D *ducks the objects thrown by the female members... all three of them* ;)

Hmm... actually I noticed something... i'm playing through WC2 again... and WC2 adds yet another title for the leader of a carriers fighter complement... on the door to Angel's office, it says "Commander Flight Group"... CFG I guess... tho somehow i doubt the commanders will like this any more...

*sighs* I think you guys are missing my point... Orig by ChrisReid: "Which is exactly why the Diamondbacks/Black Widows/Wolfpack are really just wings consisting of about 80 fighters each." I agree that its likely what the makers of Prophecy MEANT, is that there are 3 "fighter groups" (or...

Such a simple question... be nice if it had a simple answer eh? Actually this is a very complacated issue, mainly due to the fact of there being almost no consistency between the various games & novels of the WC universe. WC1 had a very simple, logical, realistic system for names and...

Well a challange sure... but my point was with the odds of enemy forces against ConFed forces in most of the WC games, at any particular point in combat, you'd usually find yourself fighting 2-4 enemy pilots, pretty much as good as yourself, SIMULTANEOUSLY... that ain't a challange... its a...

I voted for Panther pretty much because shes the only one on the list I actually liked... And why isnt Patricia "Princess" Drake (the CAG in prophecy) on the list? She's kinda cute... kinda a Royal Bitch... (maybe where she got her call sign huh? :D ) but still kinda cute lol Tho my fav...

Well in SO the Vesuvius is quite a bit faster then the Midway in Prophecy, 200 kps for the Vesu, 80 kps for the Mid, HOWEVER, in the SO game engine the Vesuvius loses the super-maneuverabilty it had in WC4, also in SO the Vesu loses all its cap ship guns, and is just armed with plain ol turret...

Well when i made that statement i didnt mean it as a tatical arguement, altho i do think that, with an equal number of defending fighters and an equal enemy force, the Cerb can defend herself much better then the midway could, but what i was refering to was the actual escort missions you fly in...

Well look at the entry, at the top, where is says the CLASS name of the ship in the entry (Gilgamesh, Waterloo, etc.) it says Concordia, which is incorrect, it should say "Confederation", the Connie is a Confederation-class vessel. Under "class" in the ship entrys, which obvioulsy means the...

Many ppl point out the claim in the Prophecy manual, that (from a pilot standpoint at least) the Midway is easier to defend, then the half a dozen ships it replaces would be, and thats true, but also from a pilot standpoint, a single large target is also easier to ATTACK as well, makeing this a...

Yes in THEORY, the Midway is supposed to be escorted in wartime, but as we see in Prophecy/SO, in PRACTICE things dont always work out that way, many ppl have said the situation in Prophecy was the exception, well newsflash, in wartime, the exception IS the rule, just look at all the...

True, but even with scoops closed a ship the size of the Midway would not accellerate as well as a fleet of smaller more conventional ships, so there is still the posability of enemy fleets bypassing Midway class ships and endangering ConFed's core systems before the Midways could catch up...

Hmm.. intersisting... i dont recall seeing the Claw's full registration anywhere, just the 07 painted on her deck, where did you find the CV-07 at? Also i wasnt aware of such a type of R/L ship, CVS (Anti-Submarine Aircraft Carrier), as i recall the only carriers that ever did anti-sub duty...

I was refering to its defensive capabilities by itself, the Midway can of course launch many more fighters in its defense, but in quick enemy strikes when there isnt time to launch lots of fighters, the Cerb can assist in its own defence much better. And i belive you are incorrect in calling...

I've never been a fan of the "Fleet in a ship" concept, it may be cost efficient but from a strategic/tactical point of view it sucks. 1- Mobility, a ship the size and capabilities of the Midway is SLOW (as we see in Prophecy), and it cant use many jump points (as evidenced by the Vesuvius in...

Gotta be the Claw... was the 1st ship you fly off of, just looked cool and realistic (for a distant future space carrier type dealy), had the same kinda homey lived in feel of Tin Can Sally... especally the barracks... the girl pics on the lockers, that leaky pipe in the ceiling they could never...

Remember tho... in the "actual" WC universe, your wingmen would be pretty much as good as you... so the ENEMY pilots would be pretty much as good as you too (if also flying somewhat inferior ships), how would you like to fight yourself... usually at 4-6 to 1 odds against? :D
