[curry1]

Does anyone have or know anywhere to find detailed plans of Essex class carriers?  If so can you post a link here.

I suggest one of those goofy things you hold and read called a book

Lots of books on Essex Class Carriers listed here:

Yeah ack ack I have seen that and it isnt actually the final design it is a prototype.

Then I would have to buy it   And something tells me that wouldn't have schematics in it.

also it isnt detailed enough it has lots of stuff missing.

Lots of drawings in this book, Anatomy of the Ship: Intrepid. In fact almost the whole book is scale drawings.

Yes you will have to buy it.

Don't kid yourself, Ack-Ack drew that by hand.

Finding construction blueprints, if that's the level of detail you want, is pretty rough.  Then again construction blueprints are frighteningly unhelpful if you're trying to imagine life below decks, particularly on a bird farm. 

There is something called a "library system" that has actual books you can borrow for a period of time; you might go talk to the elderly lady at something our generation called a "reference desk" and see what she can find for you.  All of this costs nothing and you can learn amazing things there.

dont they need to upscale the carriers in the game anyways? i have seen photos of the essex class in action, and the CVs in game seem to be a bit to small for the planes.

see how the planes are lined up on the stern of the deck. you cant do that with planes in the game



and were the essex class carriers using catapaults to launch the aircraft off the decks during WW2?

also they need to raise the elevator on the side of the deck. its getting really annoying if someone turns the CV right when you start your takeoff.

not only do we need updated carriers, but i think each faction should have its own type of cvs. instead of the same one.

like bishops get the essex class.

knights get the japanese cvs. (dont know the class name).

and rooks could get ether the british or german.

German CV?  Tell me which German CV saw any operational duties during the war.

the germans had one. but it never went to sea from what i heard about it. i believe it was the graf zepplin.

i thought they had atleast one, because i think i saw ppl talking about it ALONG time ago on these boards. they said germany had only 1 carrier, and they were wanting to make the k4 into a carrier plane, or something like that.


but stil, it would be nice to see some variety in our carrier&ship groups.

this is the her. a beauty yes. but never saw action.

I am looking for one that has lengths and widths at the waterline, lowest points down, where the openings in the sides are with heights, but it all needs to have exact measurements.  TY all for being smart butts and telling me to look at the library they do not have any thing in the detail that I am looking for at my library.
