Well shoot man!  Landing on a turning CV is one of the more challenging and fun aspects of the game :).  Taking off with a fully laden F4U-1D is even funner lol

Soon as they finish installing the arrestor hook on my -51D I'll be more than happy to follow a turning deck to land.  Until then I'll just go round and wait for her to straighten up.

:D

Landing while the CV is turning isn't a big deal as long as you know how to make a proper turning approach. Straight-in approaches are the toughest, because you can't see over the nose. Practice turning approaches and you'll be able to get aboard under any circumstances. Practice offline.  As to non-carrier types, you should use a turning approach too, albeit wait for the carrier to stop turning. However, I have managed this using differential braking. Nonetheless, I would not recommend it. Probably better to ditch if you can't wait for the CV to steady-up on a course. I've deadsticked aboard several times. However, there is zero room for error. Again, not recommended for the inexperienced. Take the ditch.

My regards,
