I want to be able to get a sucessful landing when I come down on the cruiser!  Correct me if I am wrong, but isnt that crane on the stern of the boat used to insert and recover float planes flown from the ship?  If the ship in RL had the capability to house a single plane, then I think HTC should consider allowing "sucessful landings" on the back of this ship instead of the ditches we currently see?

But then your cv is sunk....

And you didnt successfully defend it...

And your plane cannot be reused after crash landing on the cruiser...

Not to mention how many sailors you killed when you crashed into it....


Thats successful how?

Well its a good thing we dont have any sailors to kill.  I could also make the arguement about how many pilots we have all killed when landing ontop, or being landed on top of...Not to mention how many have been maimed through collisons on take off!  The dead sailor arguement doesnt fly.  We have a cv that as long as they are still floating have the capibality to carry and launch infinite planes that are representing naval aviation from every country in the game :huh So although landing on the back of the cv isnt very realistic, would it really throw off gameplay in the uber naval portion of the game?

Oh c'mon, if you manage to land on the CA, do you REALLY need a message to tell you that you were succesful? :D

Seeing how anal Hitech is about "ditch" and "drawing the line", I think landing on a CA should denote a "WTFG YOU HAVE LANDED SUCESSFUL"........

Landing on a cruiser should be "WTG"

A destroyer should be "WTFG!"

If your plane remains in tact, you automatically recieve 10X as many perks
