new carriers-pain in the :O

[waystin2]

maybe you haven't launched off the cv in a 24 or lanc lately. to launch, i now have to reverse to the back of the ship, full flaps and engines, and FLOAT THE WHEEL OVER THE ELEVATOR SHAFT!!! !!! then, of course, the whole plane slows down, and it stalls off the pad. if you dont do this right, you lose a wing on the conning tower, lose a wing in the shaft of the elevator, just trust me, it's a pain.

Take off at an airfield then bg108.  Carriers are great HTC!    Nothing to fix here.

     I believe the real Essex class had elevators in the flightdeck, not off the side..so count yourself lucky 

oops, I was half right..some on the side and some in the deck...

well, i like the new carrier design, it looks nice. however, who came up with the screwy idea of the elevator being in the deck ? i was trying to fly larger aircraft off the cv offline, so i have not even tried to land yet, which i can do upside down sleeping. however, when i tried to take off, THE D-MN ELEVATOR GOT IN THE WAY!!! of course, no when i take off, i have to reverse all the way back, and on all bombers, i now have to use full aileron left to clear it, and i can no longer take off lancs, so i can imagine it must be hard for the noobs who try to land carrier-base aircraft and nose into the elevator and break off the wing and slide any kills they got into the drink. who designed the cv? i would love to see that elevator gone.

That's like complaining masturbation is no longer fun after you started dating a porn star!

To  Bq(@^,

Keep your bombers off my carrier.  That is all.

I LOVE the new carriers and their design.  What I would like to see, is a carrier that is affected by the ocean.  Make the CV something a land lover lose his cookies over   Oh, yes… a LSO too

Not to be mean but a few "Battle 360"said that,"you landed on the front to put in the hanger decks and be repaired and brought up in the back.

It's lag.

The pilot's FE shows him on the carrier.

no, you try sinking a cv with one of your puny, pathetic tbm's. 1 bombload on a cv distracted by a wasp nest of smaller planes is going to sink the cv.

The thread was 8 months old.

   Its fun flying a B5N into the hangar deck

For the record...the TBM carries a 2000lb max bomb load. It takes (myth) 12K to kill a CV.
