Map with aircraft carriers?

[adleen]

I was looking at the achievements list and there is an achievement for sinking carriers. Is there any MP map where your objective is to do that?

A number of Pacific-based maps have them. For example on Saipan (i think it is) each team has a group of 4 carriers as their home base.

I see, thanks. Is there any reason why this map almost never be played when I joined a random game? Or am I missing something?

If you play arcade I don't think there are any maps big enough to have them.

As said above, aircraft carriers don't exist in arcade. And in realistic they are mainly on maps with japan fighting on one side. The problem here is that Japan doesn't have a lot of players and thus meeting japanese aircraft is pretty rare in RB. Your best chance would be using Japan yourself,

Ah I see. I really should've started to play more in realistic. Thanks for the answer guys!

One final note: It is a much harder achievement since the 1.53 update gave AAA such a buff.

Be very careful if the carriers have destroyers nearby as they will now shred most bombers before they can complete an attack run (given the relatively strict launch requirements for torpedoes).

Once you start playing RB you won't go back to AB.

Just fly the B7A2, best torp bomber and you get sea maps half of the time.

Spain has 4 on each side. (Yes it's Spain it can take 20+ minutes to cross it).

Have fun trying to actually destroy them though. Unless the new models actually work, Torpedoes never seemed to do anything to them and God knows how many bombs you need. 10 750 pounders from the Vautour isn't enough when they all land on the deck.
