Temporarily buff heavy carriers until docking bays are fixed?

[Thunderer]

Docking bays have been disabled for some time already. They don't work. I suppose they aren't going to be fixed soon. Due to that, heavy carriers, which are big and have relatively weak armour and firepower, are close to useless in battle. Yes, they do possess an admirable number of secondary turrets, but you aren't going to use your huge, mighty carrier to kill little snubs, are you?

What I propose to be done is that their armour is increased by some 20 - 40%. Changing stats is incredibly easy. I think that 1-2 of their secondary slots should be turned into heavy slots, which is also very easy. Due to balance, some of their secondary slots should be removed, which I think is also easy.

Basically turn them into heavy battleships, until docking bays are fixed. Light carriers (the Elbe and the Geb) don't need a buff by my opinion, and one of them might even need a nerf.


What do you think?
