Did a B25 Doolittle raid mission last night to take A35. 30sets of B25's lifting off of the CV. Killed the base, town and SB's and still had bombs left over. :aok :aok

If this isn't fixed before I get back, I'll definetly have to incorporate those A/C into my famous "(insert some player's name here) loves Seamen" missions.
I havn't done a Vanscrew Loves Seamen mission in a while :D

I hope it stays, only would be best if formations be off for the 25's

I must say I enjoy the ability to launch a P-39Q from the carrier. I have no care one way or the other as far as bomber formations are concerned.

You can land, and rearm almost any bomber in the game on the cv then take off again, just need the skill to do it. Fun missions are flying 25's to a base with cv offshore, flatten all hangers, re arm bombers and flatten town, what a hoot.

Imagine the kill buffer had someone been there at the right time in a flight of Arados....

Longest lived P-39 Airacobra in British use was the example flown by the famous test pilot Lt. Eric 'Winkle' Brown. The first tricycle-undercarriaged fighter to land on a carrier, it was the only 'Cobra fitted with an arrestor hook and used to test tricycle-undercart runs into arrestor wires on land runways. The type was not officially cleared for deck landings; he landed one day 'with engine problems' (ahem) on escort carrier HMS Pretoria Castle OK with the co-operation of her skipper Captain Caspar John RN but "take off from a carrier's deck was of all things far from the designer's thoughts, and the Airacobra had a dangerously long run. With the ship steaming absolutely full bore, I just managed to stagger off the deck."
He used it as a private 'hack' until March 1946, when a representative from Bell tested the aircraft, did one quick circuit, landed back and declared "I have never flown in an aeroplane in such an advanced state of decay. This machine should be scrapped forthwith." On 28th March, 'Winkle' "went up for a last aerobatic session in her, then bade her a sentimental farewell. The last laugh was on me."
