Please make fighter actually able to shoot down bombers plz.  Via the manual bombing key bombers can just avoid getting shot down by fighters.  If you are going to lower the number of CV's in a room you are encouraging BW CV's that can't be countered.  Bombers can occupy 2 waves of fighters because of their fuel supply.

 I agree with you mouth. Especially with the slower FTRs like UK. When using manual db buttons a CV player can out decend and ascend FTRs and perform a "break" maneuver. Add a defensive split to the mix and the packages have been delivered.

 

 I'd like to see some offensive maneuvers added for FTRs. Maybe a little sharper turn radius. But especially an OH function for FTRS, however short.

Solution.

Remove bombers from the game,buff fighter sight range while we're at it.

I am curious as to your views regarding t5 scouts. Also I can use the same argument you are using against you: AA guns are supposed to be counter aircrafts. Therefore we the ships that AA shouldn't be paying TOO much attention when flaking planes. One solution would be to either make the AA guns automatic or disable the ability for planes to change altitude. Do you now see the problem with your argument? You should not complain just because your enemies can outmaneuver you.

suggestions like this proves why NF got worse...

fighters takes no skill to use..its not like u've to press any button to fire their machineguns, and all fighter attack-sight is big enough to make your job even easier.. fighter attack-sight nerf to local fighter's one would improve the gameplay but will never happen with such lazy and automatic players.

do you also want a function for fighters to load up, go scout and change altitude to dodge AA for you? so you can just watch the battle only?

Seriously guys... let this topic die.

Fighters can be evaded by bombers and should be evadeable.
Sure it's strange and annoying but at least it gived decent BW a fighting chance against mediocre FW. 

Personally i'm more annoyed with FWs who NEVER engage anything and just drag fighters to scout ALL THE TIME.
How FW CV exp is expected to be good if noone ever engages? It's as is BBs decided to pass each other say hi and start shooting each others CVs.

First off, love the meme.  Secondly, it's more akin to BB's constantly tryig to make you chase them because they have a range disadvantage.  If I'm not mistaken that happens a LOT.  With 180 vet T4 UK fighters I'll never make it past US T4's if i don't drag.  If I don't drag to the enemy BB line I will get yelled at for not scouting.  Good CV play is the most unselfish thing in NF.  I sacrifice shooting down enemy planes so my BB's can see.  BB play in GB's rewards selfish play.

 

As for wanting CV play to be EZ mode, that's not what I want.  I just don't want DB's to be able to occupy my fighters indefinately unless I sacrifice all 3 squads I launch at a time to try to corner them.  the 6CV limit already helps BW CV's.  The 6 CV limit is a terribad idea, and only makes things worse in the games.

You dont know who Terri is do you? I would say that with T4 fighters now he is right.

 

Anyway there are ways to counter thse fighter tricks. I wrote a mini guide somewhere but you will not find it on NF.com.
