Hello,
I've got two quick questions that I couldn't find answers for.
First one is regarding Strike Carriers. When WC was first released, I just assumed that we never saw any close escorts with the Tiger's Claw because of technical limitations of PCs at the time. Later on however in both the cartoon series Academy and the film, we never see the Claw being escorted by anything. During the game we know destroyers operated nearby but a lot of the time they were jumping to other systems.
All of a sudden we see the TCS Victory and the film's TCS Concordia (which differs to the WC2 carrier) with escorts.
What is the (hopefully) logical reason for this? The Confed Handbook mentions bengal class carriers are the fleet's utility carrier. To me that screams of a modern day carrier that usually relies on a few destroyers and a cruiser or two.
My second question is regarding the masks for pilots in the film. Simply, where are the tubes delivering the air into the mask for them? The only thing plugged into their helmets were the radios.
Thanks for your help and I do apologise if my search wasn't thorough enough to find these answered previously.
