The .50 isn’t a cannon. It’s an HMG. P-38’s do have a 20mm though
Oh!
Let them TRY to hit the carrier 
thing got huge perfect aim anti air guns on it.
I use my carrier often when in a defenseless but nimble bomber. I bait my pursuers that are often surprised being vaporized mid air…
It’s beautiful.
But yes something must be done for Pacific plane spawns, Japan only has carrier based planes, except the newest tier 4 fighter. Allies Normandy and Tunisia planes, even if tier 1, start in the air.
Problem is it renders ALL old Pacific allies planes, obsolete…

Yeah the 50 cal isn’t technically a cannon, but it acts like one due to how much damage it does to the Japanese tanks.
It was made to destroy armored vehicles in WWI. The ammo was heavily influenced by captured German AT rifle rounds. Japan made a bunch of tanks made of paper. The aircraft variant of the M2 has a higher fire rate, and I’m sure it’s running API-T belts. Honestly, all these things considered, makes sense the Japs die to M2’s

Still wont affect them and is still stupid BS.
Otherwise if only US-non carrier planes are affected by a destroyed carrier, we might as well give one-sided penalties for Germans or Soviets that make no sense
The fact that the top teir tank the japs have can be penetrated by 50 cals is just kind of stupid
“REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”

If you do that you won’t have much of game when you’re already butchering the Germans as it is in some campaigns with death stacks but the Japanese need it because they’re Curse for their existence and the allies are just abusing it with the plane cycling so there’s no reason not to give the Japanese a way out.
And the Japanese are the only faction which is known for suicide bombing

gotta handle to @Greyparrots
he sure knows how to put up a show in less than 2 hours.
it’s almost as a natural talent.
anyway. i’m not here to taunt you.
but…
if we have to take seriously this suggestion, ( first i don’t really see the reasoning… )
japan doesn’t particularly struggle MAINLY against airplanes.
but tanks and technically weapons too.
japan problem is entirely related to the lack of similar / balanced equipment to the counter part.
even though unironically japan is mostly winning because of stacking and Ho-ri at tier 2, it’s not really a balancing factor the option to take away equipment from the enemy team.
not to mention, this could backfire drastically when japan will be sort of fixed ( if that will ever happen ) against the americans.
as right now, japan has a current paradox of players becoming veterans much earlier than the allied counter part.
if you derank them too much ( drop them of br ), you’ll end up with fully equipped japanese soldiers batteling the " still trying to be ironed out " muricans in their tier III and IV.
so, i’m sure there could be made tweaks, but i don’t believe this is the one that should be made.
at least, those are my 2 cents anyway.

Should’ve made better tanks. Besides, tank top armor is notoriously thin much like belly armor. Lot of early war designs were still not Browning proof
not true.
the germans literally created manned v1s ( and several other suicide planes / rockets / bomb to be piloted )
Can’t stop laughing at this. It’s just so darn funny and accurate

With how things are going the Japanese are going to BR5 so taking the Carrier away from the allies wouldn’t be a bad thing if we can slow down the plane cycling or just in general
I aim to please.

Do not give the Germans more of an excuse to suicide bomb let the Japanese do that
that’s… not entirely tied to faction only… or campaign.
so you’re not really gonna prevent anything outside the pacific.
and you call this a solution?
guide me throgh the process of thinking that what you just said, is somehow a solution or even a good idea to begin with.
granted, blowing up carriers could be a game mode of it self.
but… you are just shuffling problems and call it a day as it goes for " solutions ".
how about no one should do that.

So tiger 2 armor that shatters from 76mm HE due to low armor quality?)

The other campaigns are fine but the Japanese need help and this whole post is for the Japanese not really anyone else
