malibu43 Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Does anyone know if it's possible to rebase carriers in a campaign? For example, I want a squadron to start out in dixie station in a WOV campaign and then move up to yakee station (or vice a versa). I tried using the "rebase" lines for the squadron (rebasing from yankee to dixie) but it seems like no matter what, the game puts you where whatever carrier you have specified is based at. So I tried using the rebase lines to move the carrier unit to a different station, but that didn't work either. Anyone know if there's a way this can be done (other than creating to different air units that cover different periods of time off of different carriers)? Quote
sugarblues Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I can't remember exactly, but didn't WoV have the carriers cycle through on something replicating a typical deployment to the theatre ? Maybe you could simply have one deployment on Dixie end, followed after a week or two interval and restarting on Yankee... SB Quote

SB Yes, there are "tours" with start and end dates defined for each carrier unit, but there is nothing there with locations. Just start and end dates... Quote

I've got all that (stock WOV has a dixie station target area already added). The problem that I have is there's no way for a USN squadron in a campaign to work from more than one carrier or carrier station. In other words, you have to pick your carrier, and that carrier is limited to one carrier station. There's no way to move that carrier to another carrier station 1/2 way through the campaign or switch to another carrier at some point during the campaign. Quote
