Air-Assault can use Carriers:
In real world scenarios, carriers are used to launch air-assault operations regularly. A function absent from the current implementation of CoN, adding this change is an interesting proposition given that Air Assault can definitely benefit from it along with Naval skirmishes.
Thus, changes to Air-assault units are coming! We will soon allow Air-Assault able units to use carriers as launch points, extending the range they can use to Air-assault. We anticipate this to be available before the release of Season 9.
Air assault (mostly) has a range of 400. That's quite far away from the coast for the defender to have to detect the Carrier. Mobile Radar on the coast aren't going to cut it, and neither are corvettes acting in a coastal protection role. Add to that, you aren't going to see the air-assault helis coming over the sea in the way you can see them over land you control, unless you've got high level AWACS, or they happen to fly directly over one of your ships en route. It'll be very, very difficult to defend (or feel safe) against that.
Possible solutions:
-Give Corvettes (
-Give NPAs and ASW Helis the ability to detect helicopters on radar?
-Buff NPAs (and NSFs, NASFs, drones?) so that they have better view-range than ships, so they can reccy naval radar contacts without getting too badly shot up?
-Give ASW Helis a better anti-ship value a bit earlier in the research line?
-Bring the AWACS heli-detection ability down a few levels, so you can get it earlier?
It's a really great gameplay addition, potentially, but if you're playing as a country with a big Homeland coastline, how are you going to defend against it other than by having ships and ASFs stationed absolutely everywhere?
