At 1LtCAP's recommendation the visibility has increased to eight (8) miles, and the wind velocity has dropped some.

Oldman. I landed my stuka back on a carrier after a successful bomb run hoping to rearm, but it never started the rearm sequence. Is this how it normaly is in the AVA (I don't play AVA often enough to know) or is it just the CV's in this scenario that don't rearm?

I'M NOT SURE, as i've never tried it....but i seem to recall reading somewhere that once you land on the cv, you need to back up to where the arrestor cables are in order to rearm.

No idea.  I don't believe there's a re-arm setting.  Possibly only carrier planes can re-arm on carriers?

cap is right, you have to back up to the arrestor cables. just give your plane ever so slight power and it will roll backwards!. beware of rolling too fast in reverse though. use rudder to steer!

I thought my front wheels were in line with the wire closest to the CV island, that is normaly where I can bring the stuka to a stop.  Then again I was landing with a tail wind so I was probably to far forward. Thanks for the info on CV rearm, up until this time I never had an issue with CV rearm so I thought all it took was stopping on the flight deck.

Sorry cap, I've tried posting pictures before and was never able to make it work. I even signed up for a fliker acount to try and make it work. Best I can do right now is fly while some one else roles film and hope they post some screen shots.  :(
