This is a good way to get your CV killed.  Often it is turned to avoid an attack.  Turning the CV to avoid attack is an effective tactic, no matter what some people believe.

Best to make auto takeoff really auto and correcting for turning carriers.

Yeah, you're right.  I think that is the better answer.

I agree with you, I love it when people keep their CV straight as an arrow. less work for me haha

I was just offering a compromise.

Yes, it is easy to take off from a turning cv if you know how. I think it's a fun challenge. This is for noobs.

How about a sign or message in the text "auto take off will not engage when the cv is turning."

That would obviously require a new function that disables the auto take off when the cv is turning.

How about adding three Island lights, three lights horizontally aligned. (playing on the airfield light signal concept)

If the carrier is not turning the center light is green and the right and left lights are not illuminated, if it's turning left the center light turns red and the left light turns amber, right light not illuminated, if turning right the center light turns red and the right light turns amber and the left light is not illuminated.

    As a new player I figured It out on My third try.   1 issue , Most new players go right into the Melee instead of spending a few weeks offline learning.   The offline flight school should be emphasized and probably isn't. I see quite a few veteran players who can't land or take off and cuss the player who turns the ship to avoid bombers of shelling  when They are landing or attempting a takeoff,  but back to the simulator part.  You are not supposed to do It anyway.  Right, This is a game..... Right?   Here is a though about take offs.....  Catapults.
