RB replied to speculation on the Rufe that he wouldnt make a unit dependant on another. The teams, so far have refused to makr new unit classifications.

So very unlikely guys. Sorry

Make it a fighter and it is no longer a new unit classification.

We already have units that are dependent on others for SA's: Atlantic Wall, Ilmarinen

This is just an extension of that concept and expands the game.

Very unlikely is not a "no"... And at this point I'll take it.

Anything else is covered by seabasing

If we make float plane cards I think that's a good way to make it.

A little thread necro here. Been away from the forum for too long. This was my take on the Kingfisher a few years ago. There were some cases of Kingfishers operating from island bases and I felt Sea Basing was a good compromise to building a complex basing SA to cover BBs and Cruisers.

I've actually used this Kingfisher in a bunch of games and its proven very useful, if a little situational. The gunnery boosting SA is powerful, but somewhat restrictive. ASW is OK, but mainly good for suppression. I've had the SAR SA work once or twice. Its not a world beater, and at times I find myself wishing I had just brought a Catalina or Wildcat instead (like the game I'm playing against Brigs right now), but I've found this to be a nice, but not overpowering addition to USN air.

I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way.
