Aircraft Carrier Screenies?

[imperialman]

Has there actually been a sighting or screenshot of aircraft carriers in game yet? I have searched to no avail. While I realise it's pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, I hope they aren't represented as WW2 era carriers.

Because none of us have seen such a screenshot.

Then I believe saying 'no' would be an appropriate response to being asked if there were any screenshots, rather than just ignoring it. Thanks for taking the time to reply though.

When I first looked, I thought you had a screen shot of a Carrier.
Imagine my disappointment when I saw that you didn't! I had to close my browser and pretend that the thread didn't exist

We all did something similar... It's like a bad joke: in a desert a bunch of people are resting in the shade of a dune and suddenly someone yells: "Waaateer!!!" and they all jump up saying "where???"

It also seems no details are available on her, beside the missing screenies.....

Modern naval units have always been undervalued by Civ series ...... I therefore bet she will be shaped like a kind of cheap flat grey wafer biscuit floating here and there with no charme at all....

maybe there isn't an aircraft carrier in this game.

can you say dlc?

nah no screen shots of the unit, but It has been confirmed to be in the game via civilopedia references on other units.

 

[gunter]

She can carry up to 3 aircrafts.

I would have preferred 4 or 5 instead.

It has already been mentioned that aircraft carriers can carry bombers and thus we already know that they are in the game. Firaxis would be stupid not to include them, plus it would do horrible things to the usefulness of navies and thus game balance.

This should keep you happy until release day.

not sure I'm happy with carriers carrying bombers. Are there no fighters in the game?

Air Craft Carriers can carry Fighters, Bombers and Atom Bombs. (which are released via B-29 Bomber)

Nuclear Subs can carry Cruise missiles and Nuclear missiles.

Missile Cruisers can carry Cruise missiles.

Thats the whole sha-bang on Carrying units.

NO!



happy?

 

[gunter]

In the previous civ series cruise missiles were a waste of money. I was used to launch a bounch of them just for pleasing my desire of firing them but I was perfectly aware they were a waste of money.

I hope that within Civ V these missiles won't be anymore an expensive fireworks show only......

I tried to take care and add a question mark so people would see it as a question rather about screenshots than as an announcement of screenshots. Sorry to everyone that didn't catch the '?' though, should have been clearer.

 

[Horserush]

fake!!!

How can you tell?
