What's the biggest thing you can take off a deck?
« Reply #15 on: September 26, 2002, 01:22:08 PM »
its not bragging to say you can get a c47 of deck. i can get a fully loaded c47 off deck quite easily you just need to slide to the end full throttle and 3 points of flaps. 17's arnt to hard either. the hardest thign to get off a deck would have to be the lanc.

(keepinbg a m16 ON a moving deck is hard to )

Then this should blow ya away.

It was in the MA, using our CV to take a field and there was a furball over CV. Mitsu called out asking if CV was clear to land. As the last of the cons where dispatched, i sayed it was clear. I start looking for him and see him coming in low in a Lancaster. I started laughing. Also started taking screen shots.

Not only did he land the Lanc and stopped 1/2 down the CV, but he started to reverse it back to the re-arm pad. At this point i was snicking to myself, no fediddlein way is he gona get that thing off the deck. Knowing Mit he prolly had 14k in bombs. Sure as hell he couldnt get the Lanc off the CV, flew of the end and nosed into the drink.

Mitsu just continues to amaze me when he flys.

Landing anything on a cv is easy ... landing on the rearm zone isn't. An empty lanc with 25% fueld takes half deck to land for me. But I can land a b26 and a234 on the rearm zone.

They should have included a hook to land-based bombers.

Every fighter is easy to fly off and land on a carrier, although I must some fully loaded fighters (f4u, p38, p47) gets tough at TO

For take off, the fuel matters alot about the lancaster. the max bomb load is 14000lb, while 100% fuel is roughtly 22000lb :eek:

Well thats all very interesting but I think ya goto land one home on a CV first before you can take it off. Thats the hard part BTW.
