A new one was pulled on me in a game a bit ago. Kind of pissed me off, hiding IN a carrier? Come on, if you want points win them honest. The team consisted of yourself and 2 very good pilots who've been around a good while. That's ridiculous guys. I'd expect a lot more from vets.

You can fly in through the back door.shoot them if the carrier is not taken by them.
This is nothing new.Its been this way for over two year :)

You can always bomb through the top but usually in a capture game you drop straight away.

Well known, established, acceptable tactic.
Learn to counter it.

As J4FF said : In CTC save a bomb to drop. If you miss, fly low from a distance and shoot into the opening.
KEEL them! Fly in and recapture. Learn to get off deck, re-land (inside), and restart the clock.
In other missions just ignore them. It's a good way to get you distracted.

Learn to adjust and explore new tactics.

If an airplane hides in a carrier,

and no one is looking for it...

Is it really hiding?
You're getting predictable, guys. You can do better, right?

If no one is around,land on carrier. It will stop the clock. Result, either the red will end up crashing inside carrier or he will be forced to fly out.
Or go for the classic. SHOOT!!!

You can normally tell someone is under from a distance as their name will appear lower on the carrier.Can save your ammo.Then you can adjust your approach toward the rear or sometimes the side door if you can see them to shoot through.
It's trial and error.Have fun trying.

hiding in the carrier is also a good way of repairing and re ammo ing in the middle of a fight.....


ahhh.....i remember when i was a noob and first found out you could fly and land in there.........the good ol days....always wondered what ever happened to those other noob players i made friends with....did they change names? did they stop playing? ........
Silencing.....Silencing.....Silencing.....now only if i could mute people.....

Wouldnt exactly say I'm a noob, I just never noticed it and never had someone do it in a game. Call it dumb luck or whatever but I know about it now. Therefore I will use it to the fullest.
The thing I don't understand is flying high, camping, and numerous other acts are not acceptable but this is? Personally I think it falls right in there with it but what do I know

If you see someone under the deck, head for a spot well behind the carrier at torpedo bomber level above the water and turn towards the opening. You'll see the plane inside against the dark background. If you see someone slowing and angling to enter the back, shoot for a spot halfway up from the water and they will run into the bullet stream.
