There does seem to be some inconsistencies in the use of carriers, I'll admit. At first, I could never get one to do damage against ground combat units, but then, all of a sudden I took out a German corps unit with two sequential strikes from the same carrier with no losses.[:)]
I try to use them to strategically attack ports with largely no results when this is something I would think they would excel at, and that, along with no damage to the the occupying naval vessels also, "Remember Pearl Harbor"?[&:]
Another one of my favorite uses prior to SC3 was to swoop in and destroy enemy fighter units that had been decimated and spotted due to intercepts using my high tech level "Advanced Aircraft" CAGs.
That also seems to no avail with the current model.
One thing they do seem to be decently efficient at is sub strikes, but indeed Treale is correct the operational losses seem inordinantly high for such a mission.
I don't know what the answer is, obviously they're good at taking out surface forces, again with the high loss rate, you'll have to take them back to port and repair the CAG losing all the experience you just gained.[:(]
Whatever happened to those experienced CAGs that use to rain havoc upon enemy naval units and shore facilities?
Maybe I just THOUGHT I read about these marauding CAGs in my WW2 history books?[8|]
