Realistic Carrier Overstacking (DEPRECATED)

**I WILL NO LONGER BE UPDATING THIS MOD**


This mod attempts to provide some historical realism to air space in naval combat. This mod edits the carrier overstack penalty effect from 20% to 10%. Theoretically, this means that each carrier involved in a battle over 4 carriers adds a 10% penalty to sorties. However, there are several dozen variables in naval combat that can alter this value. Either way, this should make it significantly less harsh to have more than four carriers in a battle.


**Historical Reasoning:
The game's reasoning behind a 4 carrier limit is due to a quote by Marc Mitscher. However, I believe he was more so referring to task groups instead of actual task forces. Possibly this was a misquote of what he said. He commanded a Fast Carrier Task force, essentially a strike force, and it was comprised of several task groups involving 4 carriers and support vessels. In actual naval combat, several of these groups could be deployed at the same time and still be effective. This means there were lots more carriers in naval battles than the traditional four, though the traditional four might be the most effective.


***DISCLAMER:
Consider this mod to be in Alpha right now. I am still determining if this works as intended, I would highly appreciate feedback from subscribers to just let me know if it works for them or not. The mod is a simple one line of code. I do not believe there is anything wrong with the code, but there are several dozen naval modifiers affecting sorties in game. This makes it hard to see accurately if the mod is working as intended. Which is why I feel putting it on the workshop and getting feedback would be useful.

Thank you!
