I’d love to see bigger CVs assume the role of battleships to soak up damage and dish it out while not being very quick and smaller class CVs having more speed but less armor and firepower but with the game mechanics I don’t think there’s a way to implement this. With the effectiveness of thrusters it’s actually easier to make a larger ship faster and more maneuverable than if you were constrained by a small class size. Perhaps if the weapons and turrets had a mass in the several kiloton range you could limit ship speed based on firepower but it’s a hard balancing act.
I’m all for large CVs being able to take a beating and tank hits, but my point is they should be taking a beating and tanking those hits, not evading everything.
