Modification XXX [new mechanic]

[Nato101]

CVs should get beer bombs in order to get the enemy crew drunk, which should affect all aspects of the ship such as dispersion, gun traverse, view range, speed, rudder shift, and of course reload times. There should also be a small chance each second for random things to occur such as the crew accidentally firing off a gun, or changing the speed.

That's how they used to fight wars back in the day. Some say that the beer bomb is what won WW2. Others argue that it simply saved allied lives and shortened it. Either way, it should be in the game for historical accuracy purposes.

Beats that drunk Ivan guy who said he uses his paycheck from WG as a designer to get [censord due to illegal content]s in hotel rooms.

Meh, while CV's may have to make their own 'bombs', US DD issued them as standard equipment. 

 

From Wiki: 

 

"Torpedo juice is American slang for an alcoholic beverage, first mixed in World War II, made from pineapple juice and the 180-proof grain alcohol fuel used in United States Navy torpedo motors.^[1] Various poisonous additives were mixed into the fuel alcohol by Navy authorities to render the alcohol undrinkable, and various methods were employed by the U.S. sailors to separate the alcohol from the poison. Aside from the expected alcohol intoxication and subsequent hangover, the effects of drinking torpedo juice sometimes included mild or severe reactions to the poison, and the drink's reputation developed an early element of risk.

In the first part of the Pacific War, U.S. torpedoes were powered by a miniature steam engine burning 180- or higher-proof ethyl alcohol as fuel. The ethyl alcohol was denatured by the addition of 5–10% "pink lady", a blend of dye, methanol and possibly other ingredients. Methanol causes blindness when ingested, and cannot be made non-poisonous. The methanol was said to be (largely) removed by filtering the fuel mix through a compressed loaf of bread.

Later, a small amount of Croton oil was added to the neutral grain spirits which powered U.S. torpedoes. Drinking alcohol with the oil additive caused painful cramps, internal bleeding and a violent emptying of the bowels. It was intended as a replacement for methanol which had caused blindness in some sailors. To avoid the Croton oil, sailors devised crude stills to slowly separate the alcohol from the poison, as alcohol evaporated at a lower temperature than Croton oil. The stills were sometimes called 'Gilly' stills, and the resulting potable alcohol was known as 'gilly'.^[2]

With the introduction of the electric powered U.S. Mark 18 torpedo, ethyl alcohol was no longer required for torpedoes; however, limited quantities of denatured alcohol were (and are) still required by the Electrician's Mates and Interior Communications Electricians on board ship for the purpose of cleaning slip rings, commutators, and carbon brushes on a wide variety of equipment.

The standard recipe for torpedo juice is two parts ethyl alcohol and three parts pineapple juice."

 

The Navy in WWII tried very diligently to stamp out the 'appropriation' of torp fuel, but it took very little time for sailors to build simple stills to get access to the good* stuff. 

 

* good being an extremely biased term in this usage.

Too bad they were RAF and not Fleet Air Arm.

 

Perhaps the Midway can get new dive bombers that can drop toilets:

The way I've heard it, there is a barrel at the gates of heaven.  When you stand before St. Peter his assistants come and fill the barrel with every drop of alcohol you have ever spilled or wasted during your life. Then his assistants grab you by the ankles and lower you head down into the barrel.  If you drown you go to hell.

Still more effective than regular dive bombers

'Lady of the night' is an illegal word? Oh my! Stronk censorship, WG!

LOL nuts! Can't believe that they had ended up creating their own stills. The lengths people will go for aclohol! And that compressed load bread thing was funny, too.

You can't possibly get a barrel large enough to hold all that liqid. Even if santa constructed it!
