It does raise the question of game accuracy. In WW2, could a lancaster actually land on a carrier? I for one say no.

It is probably is a possibility, if the wind was strong enough, and if the lanc. was low on fuel (low weight). I bet it could be done.

BUT,

In real life, they would probably just ditch right next to the ship, jump out, and let the ship pick them up. much safer to all involved. mostly the crew on the ship.

Nice landing Rolex, I have seen JRCCrow, and a few others do it to. Not really that hard in AH.

I would like to have seen someone try that in real life.

I was bored on a squad when I was in CAF, we were waiting for the 9pm start.
Scotch and I were drinking and we talked about going through hangers inverted. I managed on the first try to fly a B-26 inverted (I did ditch the bombs).

With a little practice, you can land an RV-8 on Cruiser's aft turret and takeoff again.....

I've done it with an A6M2, it was more of a touch and go.

I have witnesses for landing a F4U-D on the back of a crusier, behind the rear gun and in front of the crane. Did that in FSO, Kermit was one of the witnesses. Only gives you a ditch.
