Why the hell is the batsman hanging in the air bonded on a green linen with yellow signs at his hands? Shouldnt he stay on the deck?

No real need for it, but it would look cool

That's a common misconception. Those little paddles actually helped the batsman to gain lift and levitate.

Hey, is that my screenshot!?!?!?!?

Yeah, there is no real need for it, but it would be cool whether the LSO (Landing Signal Officer) is in 2D in a box or a 3D model on the carrier deck.

I liked that idea when it showed up in "Aces of the Pacific"

Maybe a ON/OFF option to use in CV landings? Some people might prefer the instructions coming from deck officers, others might just hate something clogging up the view, and would decide to trust their own instincts.

That is a good idea for CV landings. Though the flight part of landing isnt whats hard, its the darn CV captains driving the boat around like a 16 year old taking his/her first drivers test. Hate it when wheels just touch the CV then the boat turns and you go into the tower or your on approach and the CV makes a hard right turn.

If they make the guy with the paddles waiv you off if the captain is about to turn the boat, or is ploting movement waypoints. That would be cool.

It would help keep me from catching first wire and being tossed backwards off the ship.

Very good idea (as a user selectable option lile combat trim and auto-takeoff).

A lot of people don't fly to or from CV's much and this would help quite a bit imo.
