Escort Carriers

[unmerged(13215)]

Ok, i was just thinking............ The escort Carriers tech, well....... its self-defeating. I see the point of reducing the time and cost of carriers, but why not add an "Escort Carrier" class. I've been working with the carrier mod that was up here earlier, and i like the idea of just raising carrier attack and Defense values to simulate having aircraft in the battle. So why not do an escort carrier that can hold one squadron of planes, and has high air defense/attack, Sea defence (its far away from what its attacking) and high sub attack (a little higher than a destroyer).

Escort carriers are in my mod, along with Escort Destroyers

I'm using your mod and I saw the escort destroyer in the unit files, but no the escort carrier. Is is located in a different file/mod? Also, how many escort carriers does one unit represent?

I updated my mod, to add post war tanks and basic MBTs:

Question: Is that a typo that to build a Escort Destroyer takes 730 days because if thats the case you may want to fix that since it is quite a long time. I think the Build time for the Escort Carrier is fine. As it stands now -5 Days build time for a carrier is so pointless that I believe it may have been 5% or they left out a zero.
