Yes they will... you have to swing out left a bit.

Just yesterday during my early morning hours was flying a 2-pick-2 around by A40 in the orange main arena (was a bish base) anyhow after 8 kills I noticed a tempest trying to catch me (lol not gona happen)

I did manage to find a nice CV out in middle of no where, and landed on it, and rearmed without a problem. <--easier said then done

Takes plenty of practice and im no expert landing jets on CV's my first attempt few days ago crashed on CV, interestingly enough I landed just fine, but I got thrown 50 feet in air and died, have no idea what caused this because I dropped the 262 on the deck doing least 100 or 120, first few rolls was fine, then got thrown upward.

Oh yeah, taking off wasn't so fun, full fuel and ammo I took off with 2 notch flaps down and didn't clear the Cruiser, oops?

Taking a Lanc off of a CV is quite simple for me. And that's with the maximum payload too.

A long time ago, when I used to fly with Dickweed Heavy Bomber Group, we were flying 262s.  The base we were going to land at came under attack, and we were all very low on fuel.  So we decided to land our 262s on the CV.  Some of us made it, some didn't.  But since then, I've practiced landing the 262 on the CV, and practiced taking off from the CV.  Its definately doable.  

Come in with full flaps, between 100 and 140 mph.  The slower the better (but don't get behind the power curve!!).  As soon as you touch down, idle or shutoff your engines, then start moving your rudder left and right repeatedly.  This slows you down quicker.  

Visibility is horrible with such a nose high angle of attack landing on cv, so I move to the forward right part of the cockpit, and watch the carriers superstructure through the small forward-right window.

Taking off requires backing up on the carrier to the arresting wires.  I deploy full flaps.  Make sure you have your nose at a high angle of attack when you go off the end of the carrier.  The 262 will fall but ground-effect saves it.

This remind me of a Monty Python sketch...
"You call that a landing... when I were a lad..."  :lol
Here we are, living on top of a molten ball of rock, spinning around at a 1,000mph, orbiting a nuclear fireball and whizzing through space at half-a-million miles per hour. Most of us believe in super-beings which for some reason need to be praised for setting this up. This, apparently, is normal.
