How about something new?

We had dream weapons, but no one suggested boats. We have defender, fixer, speeder, shooter, and enforcer. It's time to have a little air support.

New ship an Air Craft Carrier: 5 fighters, no weapons similar powers as the fixer, slow as a defender, minor to heavy shields (depending on tier). No weapons cause the fighters will be it's weapons. But the healing ability will only be for the fighters not for the teammates. And if the carrier is destroyed fighters will crash into the see or if unfriend is near a fighter, well it will crash into the unfriend with burning damage.

What are your thoughts?

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks they should add an aircraft carrier. Even though carriers don't usually have armaments it might be good to give it one slot, since it wouldn't be able to use gear lube without a weapon, and having it only be able to use certain blue items would be inconsistent. Healing the fighters is an interesting idea but they wouldn't really sync well with the current healing items. I think a better idea would be for them to have a cooldown after they die (30 seconds maybe?). The fighters crashing when the carrier dies is a good idea but I don't know how I feel about the kamikaze mechanic.


The problem with adding an aircraft carrier is that it wouldn't just be a matter of adding it and its crafts. You would also have to add anti-air items to the game. Like a blue slot AA gun and a multi-shot weapon that can manually target them. They could also make it so carronade can target fighters, but most of the other weapons would be useless. They'd also have to make it so we can aim up more than we're able to now.


I'd love to have an aircraft carrier in this game and it would definitely become my main, but it would take quite a lot of effort to implement all the new mechanics and counter items needed to make it work.

 

Not seeing carrier as option really but would love to see a submarine, maybe thats what the fixer should have been to avoid damage.

 

Everyone keeps asking for submarine but I don't see how that could work. It would only be able to use torpedoes and could only be hit by torpedoes unless it were on the surface which would defeat the purpose of having a sub.

 

Technically submarines can shoot missle ex. Tomahawk and nukes irl. So why not here? It's technically called a boat.

 

That's a good idea, to add an aircraft carrier to the game. But maybe, first they should fix the matchmaking problem.... because let's say they add the aircraft carrier before they fix that other issue, maybe one team will have (example) 2 of them, while your team only has one. After that, it could be considered

 

Older submarines also had hull mounted guns. I like the idea of a sub but I don't think it should be allowed to fire while fully submerged and once it surfaces there should be a cool down before it can submerge again. It could also be hard to hit (with just the tower showing above the waterline) balanced by low HP.

 

Okay you might be right. After doing a tiny bit of research I found that missiles, mortars and mines could all work on a submarine while it was submerged. This seems like an easier concept to add than carrier now but I still think it's a cool idea. I mean they are or were considered flagships during the height of their use.

 

And im pretty sure that even if the devs do that, it's not coming anytime soon...

 

Alot of praying, begging, and nagging, might help our case. Just need to wait, *hint: not too long Dev. !

 

Would love to see an option for Defender to submerge or go stealth for a bit and take less damage, at the expense of speed.

 

Carronades think this is a bad idea...

 

I really like this idea of air crafts. You know, to change things up a bit. Get off the water and stuff. I think this can be exciting .

 

Well we can ask for "S.H.I.E.L.D heli carrier" for 1 billion gold. She's off the water kinda

If any of you tech savvy kids know how to post gifs on here, have a go on this one.
