Re: The End of the Carrier Age?
I'm just pointing out how the need for physical presence in some missions will continue to make the carrier group highly relevant. Even if your primary objective is to soften defenses for other purposes like amphibious assaults, having that physical presence acting as a mobile base is a very powerful asset.Depends on the objective of the mission. If it is to dissuade an aggressive nation, then the ability to damage key defence infrastructure in this way could be highly effective. Likewise if you wanted to clear the path for an Amphibious Assault Group its a cheap and low risk option.
Will big nations use this system against each other? well would big nations want to use any system against each other. I could however have a big impact on proxies and the protection of Client States.
