Can you PLEASE let the carrier air groups target other carrier air groups during the orders phase.
Its REALLY annoying when you KNOW you have a nice juicy target and the carrier admiral decides to send his planes off somewhere else.
This would make the game just THAT much more enjoyable

I'm sure it has been mentioned here once or twice... [:D] [;)]

Welcome to the WitP-forum! [:)]

DAMN.
Is there a chance of it getting changed or .. is it a pipedream type thing?
If its a coding issue.. i can understand how hard this game has been worked on and why they wouldn't want to change something like that.

Introducing a manual TF targeting routine? Not going to happen...

A rebalancing of the targeting AI so that it attacks carriers more often might be doable, though. But then people would complain when their strikes get slaughtered because they weren't intelligent enough to avoid enemy uber-CAP. In case you're not (yet) familiar with that term: it describes the fact that if more than a 'critical mass' of fighters flies CAP over a target, they will wipe out any incoming strike in an extraordinary bloody A2A battle with few to none leakers. So the priorities should be IMO: fix uber-CAP, then increase the value of carriers in the targeting routine.
