      Nah after some more thoughts. Helis just not being used properly your right. ASW helis on destroyers is fine and a must. But only 1 heli, not two.
      My only issue with the LHD, is it is often carrying harrier or f-35. I don't think this new unit should be able to carry fixed wing aircraft, just as a point of balance and uniqueness. The Garibaldi class carrier in RL is already a harrier carrying carrier. I think a cheap to research, unit that can carry two air assault units and maybe 5 helicopters would be an awesome addition.
      Yea I agree, no fixed wing aircraft from the LHDs...4-6-8 Heli carringAnd 3-4-6 I would have thought for air assualt units. More than that
      Yeah I hadn't thought about the advancement path. I was thinking initially. I didn't want them to be overpowered as a low development cost unit. My biggest challenge with cv's is they take so much of your research resources that you really need to be committed to getting them, at the detriment of other areas, I would like the LHD to be available without a massive sacrifice of your other research, and hence why I limited them. But I agree late game having 6 air assault units with 8 heli would be a kickass unit.
      well put, really hope the devs work on this. Its really needed :P
      I've been thinking on this every issues. Your LHD idea is spot on with what I was working up in my head. This would definitely be a great addition to the game.
      On the destroyer issue, while I do agree about the ASW choppers, I have to say there is precedent for gunship/attack chopper off a destroyer. Task Force 160 operated off of them as far back as the early/mid '90's I believe. I worked with some former members when I was stationed at Ft. Campbell back then.
      I dont really have an issue with gunships/attack choppers being operated from the deck.. its realistic, I think some were arguing for a balancing reason... But I agree with ya..

      Ft Campbell, Helis... 101st airborne?

      Yessir! My last duty station. Actually they are known as 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) stationed at Ft. Campebell, started from the 101st, now they are their own entity.

      I dunno, @Germanico said there were actual game issues with the destroyer and helis. That was like 2-3months ago but I can see they have been busy :P . And havent heard about LHDs yet

    • @GIJedi I see no reason they wouldn't take the suggestions.

      However, I believe that @Germanico mentioned some time ago that implementing the suggestion will require significant changes to the code behind destroyers that's linked to the request for LHD-type naval vessels and changes to the aircraft carrier code. Therefore, even if they accept the suggestion (which I think is likely, though by no means a sure thing), it's probably going to be a fairly low priority task for the dev team.

      I do things the LHDs are rather needed... my airborne infantry are not having an easy time dropping into Australia atm... haha

      Being able to carry a few helis, and allow units to use the air assualt function. It would be great tbh

      Lol!! I actually went and took Aus in my game, assaulted from both sides, supported by 4 carrier groups, EPIC! I saw that Germanico has taken notice and if it is being taken seriously, it will be awhile yet, but I'd like an LHD before choppers on destroyers. Getting air assault troops in is a pain. being able to chopper over a few from shore, YES!!!

      Yep no doubt about that, the air arm can wait. We need LHDs ASAP!

      I took Townsville, Brisbane, Sydney, and Perth at the same time, jumped over to Darwin and Melbourne, while Italy took Adelaide, Aus never stood a chance and this was an active player not an AI.

      Lol!! I actually went and took Aus in my game, assaulted from both sides, supported by 4 carrier groups, EPIC! I saw that Germanico has taken notice and if it is being taken seriously, it will be awhile yet, but I'd like an LHD before choppers on destroyers. Getting air assault troops in is a pain. being able to chopper over a few from shore, YES!!!
      Yep no doubt about that, the air arm can wait. We need LHDs ASAP!Im taking pappa new guine, then gonna Townsville and Darwin. And just work inland from there.
      I took Townsville, Brisbane, Sydney, and Perth at the same time, jumped over to Darwin and Melbourne, while Italy took Adelaide, Aus never stood a chance and this was an active player not an AI.
      Italy took Adelaide.. haha wow,

      Take a look at my other post on COIN aircraft and ground attack aircraft :P

      How are you able to work on so many aircraft? Like, would you need to know everything about all the aircraft sitting around? Or is this just over a period of time. You worked on the A-10, Then F-15, then F-16 etc

      I was an Aircraft Electrician in the Army and Aircraft Structural Maintenance in the Air Force. Some just once or twice and others over the years I was stationed. DMAFB in Tucson, AZ where I was for 8 years has A-10's, EC and C-130's, and HH-60's, plus any transient AC that passed through, like doing a hydraulic line on a C-5. I can understand your confusion, I wasn't clear on what type of maintainer I was.
