Carrier Landings.
« on: June 24, 2005, 12:47:24 AM »
Ok what I don't get when im flying in an A6M2 and try to land on a carrier i always like not catch the cable...even with my hook out (of course) with full flaps on and im going like 70mph and when I touch down on the wires of the carrier I just keep on going. So i have to do it again and this time I go at a steeper angle and make sure my tail hits the carrier first on the cables but I go straight through it and land on my nose and when its all over im balancing on my nose with no engine... plz help...:confused:

the carrier deck is at 50 ft alt  and moves at 50 mph (yea i know ) , i come in at 75-100 ft  then set down in a 3 point landing , pull back on the stick slightly to plant the tailhook and grab the brakes .

Works everytime.   For fun try a B-24 :D

I'm not sure how far dow the arrestor hooks go but IMO you do need to get the tail low so it does engage the spagetti er wires and stop you.

Fuze is correct. If you comming in with a level landing you will not engage the hook. You have to land with a node up attitude. It's a controlled crash.

Learn to land with the hook up. After you can do it consistantly put the hook down....It's simple :)

Land without hook.

Really, with most prop fighters no problem to land without hook and you dont get the feared slingshot.

Untill the slingshot bug is fixed i land most carrier landings without hook.

cv landings
« Reply #9 on: June 27, 2005, 11:43:00 AM »
I pride myslef in being able to land anything on a cv, i can land a lancaster on a cv, back it up, re-arm and take off again... try practicing landing B17's and B24's then Lancs on them, full flaps and go to F4 view, allot of time i wont even have to use brakes to stop cause the cv moves so fast in this game, and all u have to do to backup is, cut throttle all the way down and apply just a lil bit and youll start rollin backwards on the deck... if you need any help on cv landing just find me in the MA and i'll show you how its done with no hook, in whatever plane you can think of, the only one i havent been able to land is the 262 and ar234 rocket planes, cant seem to slow em down enough, i can land em on there and crash em into the side to stop and get a successful landing but not re-arm... if anybody needs any help on cv landings or knows how to land a 262 or 234 on one,  either find me in the MA or email me at  Iceman24@netzero.com   :aok

And I'm "Expensive"! Where do I send the bill!

Ok, back on topic. SAS_KID, I took an A6m5 up off a carrier the other night. Racked up 3 kills. When I tried to land it on the carrier guess what? Could not catch the wire. Now I usually fly F6Fs or FM2s. I had to land that zeke without catching the wire. Came in very slow, full flaps, NOSE up attitude and droped all 3 wheels on the deck. Perfect 3 point landing! NO CATCH! had to apply wheel breaks to stop just before the end of the deck.

I have no issues carrier landing in other planes so maybe SAS is on to something. I will try it again but I'm doing everything right as far as I know. Can't get that plane any slower than I am.

cv landings
« Reply #11 on: June 27, 2005, 02:14:56 PM »
what i would do if i was havin problems with cv landings is find one where theres no enemy around and take off in various aircrafts and practice doing touchdowns, not actually landing, just touchdown and apply full throttle and takeoff again, if you are having problems seeing the carrier, do a couple of runs next to it, pretending the carrier is where you are landing but watching it to your left or right. Just remember that the carrier is moving forward ( away from you ) at 50+mph so if your moving at 80mph than your closure is only 30mph... another tip to ppl inexperienced in cv landings is to look at the wake ( waves left by the moving carrier ) and make sure it is goin straight and not turning, those are a lil touchier... if im in a fghtr i generally zoom in the last 3K or so to see a lil better as i feel the landing, i dont really watch the gauges ( done it so many times ) if im landing a bomber such as lanc, b17, b24, etc. I usually go to the F4 external view... if u need any help just let me know ;)

Try landing Corsairs on Carrier. Easiest plane to do it in IMHO

Ice, in my case it's not about landing procedures. I can land an F6F on a turning carrier. If I land a Zeke slow enough to stop it with wheel breaks well before the end of the deck, perfect 3 point landing right on wire 2 it should stop. Thing is it didn't. I took 3 shots at it. Powered back up and re-launched when around and tried it again. No go.

I will try it again tonight and film it.
