      Alternatively, and in light of the new UAV units, maybe destroyers should come with a UAV modified so the infantry/armor damage rates are now for ships/subs?
      I dont follow?

    • Both historically and in the present, vessels that are not carriers have carried drones to enable long-range target acquisition. Examples can be found at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AAI_RQ-2_Pioneer, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Insitu_ScanEagle, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_MQ-8C_Fire_Scout, and most famously en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrodyne_QH-50_DASH.

      I suggest that instead of/in addition to helicopters, destroyers be able to carry UAVs.

    • I know this might be unpopular, but isn't it conceivable that destroyers/frigates already have their air arm built into their stats? their sub hunting attack level, visual/radar range, etc, could be considered to include the effect of having a helicopter on board?

    • @War-spite I wouldn't say thats unpopular per se, I would just say that it doesn't appear to be the case right now, given the view range and radar range of the vessels you listed. Maybe if thats a change the developers make it'd be a good solution to the issue, but right now I don't understand how it factors in to their current stats. Could you explain it using specific examples?

      yea but the drones are waay to big to work from destroyers, there could be a smaller drone with less drange or something, but likes of reaper are too big

      Guys, please forgive bacon, he is a maritimer, and they don't always come across as speaking a known language. Canada's east coast is a unique and unintelligible place. We actually exported a number of Acadians to the deep south way back, they took that trait with them. Acadian, became cajun.

      Just so you know, destroyers in the game DO have helicopters on board. However they are just for decoration. If you zoom up close to your destroyer you will see a helicopter on the deck. So all the high anti sub capabilities and such are partly due to it.
