The B5N2 has an unbelievably low stall speed.  You can set it down on the CV with practically no forward momentum relative to the CV.

Its freaky.

Oh, hehe. :o   Hummmm, launchin ramp eh?  Ahem, HITECH!!!!!
Ya have a launching ramp for seaplanes on your cruisers, now we need a seaplane for the launching ramps  :D

What would be a good seaplane for those launching ramps ?????


:D

Heh, ramps eh? Sorry Bonden I think I dragged you down into my liliputlian world there for a minute :D
There was one seaplane nicknamed the 'Flying Porcupine' due to the inordinate amount of guns sticking out of it. Quick link http://www.vectorsite.net/avsund.html Could be too big for those cleats though ;)

LOL, sure Karnak, maybe a NewB would believe it, they've never experienced 125mp/h winds :D

tnx for the link Trikky.

I once heared a story of a German U-boat Captain: he had to go up for air and got attacked by an "Emily", they shot at it and their 20mm bullets just bounced of the cockpit, and saw the both wings fully lightened by firing guns :eek:


the BOTH WINGS FULLY BRIZZLED WITH GUNS!!!:eek:

So buzzing through hangers is no longer in fashion? It landing one on top thats the trick now.

While the Short Sunderland is freakishly too large for the launching platforms, there are many pics of SB2U Kingfisher seaplanes on them....

I know how he does it I've done it before!

In map editor you set the object as "Runway" then u can land without blowing up (if ur going about 90mph) but still extreemly hard.

actully its done by turning collisions off and putting the wind to about 120 mph then just hovering above the hanger and lightly touching down

I did not cheated in any way. bring flaps to lowest, ride the stall horn, and play with throttle carefully.

no wind. no playing with collisions.

or the Consolidated PBY Catalina.

Consolidated PBY Catalina.
