Capital Ship Point Defense

[Tenacity]

think of the suggested changes AND think of the dangers involved.

question is - do we WANT capital ships that can practicly go after everything without escorts?

This wont happen, capships (cruisers+) are not the small, agile interceptors that gunboats were in 4.84.

are escorts a luxory that we WISH to have - but that we ... in reality simply do not have?

Yes, they are.

what can be done about making pure antibomber ships? - and ... is that even a problem?

It wont be a problem. Bombers can still hit large capships from 1600+ range with heavy weapons - as explained in your other post, gunboats in 4.84 could avoid bomber weaponry which is what made them overpowered when using anti-bomber/fighter loadouts. We're talking about cruisers and battleships here, neither of which have the agility or small size of a gunboat, the same issues arent going to arise.
