I can see why he wouldn't have wanted them in the m/a. i can also see how they would be helpful with the current numbers. I think a flying helicarrier would be cool and good fun. but i can see how it doesnt work..
however there probably is a ww2 lore accurate alternative.
could we have little pop up improvised airbases that only appeared when certain conditions are met?
there probably is some way to get some third party spawns incorporated without going full marvel.
I do like me an airship though. and zeppelins were used in ww2 but not to carry airplanes.
maybe some designated flat spots on the ground that would let aircraft take off from an improvised strip while the zepplin is parked at that position acting like the supply. kill the zepplin stops the spawn, it can only be an airbase one location at a time. no airspawn involved.probably overcomplicated and there is probably a better way. but if we figure out something cool to do i might volunteer to do some modelling, (i work in 3d/cad for a living i know exactly what it takes to do this))
