    • Who would mix a stealth with a non stealth unit? if doesnt get damage ; wouldnt share the damage so either way no reason to keep stacked with ships. but ive seen some silly stuff like people sailing an empty aircraft carrier with no escort ships or planes.

      I would say it was like it wasn't their damage wise; but now enemy would be able to see it in your stack?? Unless like with nav patrol planes which do ship and sub damage. Try it and let us know.

      If a sub is in an enemies naval stack you are able to see, I speak from personal experience.

      it will still receive damage tho, cuz dmg is applied to the whole stack, not only the visible units.
      stacking stealth and non stealth might as well completely negate the stealth

      But if it is say a naval SF than I guess it wouldn’t do damage because the sub ain’t a surface ship. I think that what he mean. But if it is Nav patrol then damage distribution will take place between the subs and the Surface vessels

      In some cases sailing an aircraft carrier behind the escort ships is a better idea. The planes and choppers on a carrier take damage if the carrier is hit, so you might not want the carrier taking damage. Of course, it its empty, better to stack it with the escort ships so its high HP can soak up the damage.

    • Speak of Devil just found an unescorted , empty carrier crossing the atlantic...lol.

      This will be like 5th or 6th carrier that Ive sunk. Have never had one hurt me in combat. Noobs always want Carriers. USA was building Nav 4 and 5 and all he had was 2 dest and 4 corvettes (sunk) and I wrecked all cities. He must have had this im pacific somewhere. Even before I wrecked cities he had no cities caable of building any planes that would go with this.

      So an unescorted floating brick ;)

    • Why have a carrier without planes ? I have seen one game where a coalition had several outfitted carriers. I sunk one and took out 2 officers but in the end we still lost to them. 5 on 3 and we really had our way with 2 of them but those 3 others just built up and took us out.

      ?? sadly not the first time I saw this. Dude attacked me like 6 days ago had nav 4 and nav 5 bases but attacked with 1 dest and 2 corvettes... lol. To boot Im spain and he was hitting a empty portugal occuppied city...lol

      so just went behind him and blasted him. Sailed to USA wrecked all his cities and killed many escaping troops trying to swim across the Atlantic. The 3 days later he sails this over. He had to have it near Japan in pacific as I wrecked the city that could produce this days ago an was no where in site. Whole time he never had above Air 1 anywhere??

      I think peeps may think comes fully functional. even if 5 planes my frigs would have killedall the planes. I was just following it till could get a real stack to sink it.

      Believe it or not, some people (not me*) actually play this game not trying to win. IKR? They are playing in a sandbox with other kids, not really paying attention to the other kids until someone rolls over their sandcastle with their toy dump truck.


      *-well, not me except once**


      **- one time I decided to write news stories all game and not try to win, just stay alive***


      ***-I failed, I actually ended up winning that game because Australia kept attacking me, over and over again. So I got pissed off, took Australia, Indonesia, The Philippines, and SE Asia, and I thought, "Well hell, I might as well go for the win NOW.

      Heresy! Burn him! He's a witch!

      It's should be obvious to a long-time forum reader like you that THE ONLY WAY TO ENJOY PLAYING CON IS WHATEVER THE OTHER FORUM POSTER(S) HAS IN MIND WHEN THEY PLAY.
