Please excuse me if this has already been covered. I was wondering why the tailhook isn't shown on any of the carrier planes. Is it a problem of pixels, or something else technical? Or just something left off because it wasn't on the carrier planes that were here before the CV showed up? It's a real minor thing I know, but it would be nice to see from the outside

dunno but was wondering if its a way lo priority due to the fact the tbm is the only cv plane in ma that you would actually see the hook bar screens and films..........

I'm sure tailhooks could be done. If HTC wanted to take the time to add them to the carrier fighters.

Origionally the fighters were here, but we just got CV's at the beginning of the year, so thats the main reason you don't see them. There was no tailhook before then, the command itself is new also.

There a lot of other little things HTC could add, like slats, fowler flaps, open canopies, pilots that look where the person is looking, etc. Maybe we'll see these, maybe not. I'm sure its not high on the list at the moment(if they are on the list).

It just uses more polygons, textures, code.
