now landing on carrier is the hardest landing for a pilot..

i feel there needs to be a way of stopping carrier turning while your on final aproach..
or even employ some bat men to wave you off..

If you do land when it's turning, you get emidiatly thrown back with a speed of, probarly no less then Mach 3.
