 You are playing as the East.  You are rolling along in your T-80, fearing nothing short of an Abrams, when suddenly you explode. Â
 You respawn, and get in another T-80 and find out a Cobra nailed you with a few TOW's, killing you in the process.  Your gunner gets lucky, and nails the pilot with machine gun fire, killing him, and thus elimintating the helicopter.
 So you go rolling along again, and take out a few M-60's and infantry.  ####, you even take out some Chinook with a well placed sabot round.  Strangely, the Chinook was flying inland from the ocean. Â
 You die again, and respawn.  This time, you find out another Cobra did you in.  Where are they coming from?  How do they have so many choppers?  Well, its obvious!  The enemy has an aircraft carrier, making them unreachable to all but aircraft, and the carrier's choppers can take those down easy.
   See how a carrier might unbalance things?

I see no difference between an"aircraft carrier" the size of an LHA, etc., when there each exist on Malden and Everon two permanent "aircraft carriers", that of the airfield on each island.
As for me, I should like to see a stable launching platform just for my helos, not fixed wing assets; a "gator freighter" will do nicely.
