So I landed with the seafire on the turning CV.

Wow I made it

While reloading, hook up, engine off, and flaps up. (then hook down and up again cos did not remeber it was up)

After 30 sec get the message that plane is reloaded.

Hit E to start the plane and THEN the plane SINK THROUGH THE CV ?

BAM im dead

I did not fall down the side, or down the back, straight thorough the deck.

sounds like the CV got sunk, at least that's what happens when you are talking off when it gets sunk

I'm guessing the cruiser got you. When the CV makes tight turns, sometimes the cruiser crosses paths with the CV and it will kill any plane sitting in the wires.

Actually there is something wrong.
I have sunk through the deck after a reload and on landing. F6F in my case.

Yeah..it's happened to me a time or two. Wonder what causes it? It's happened to me landing right off, and after doing a reload. ONCE during a mission, a whole bunch of us all sank thru' the deck after a re-load.

Until they figure it out, my best advice is that you can STILL .ef while sinking/sunk. You have to be quick, but if you .ef you will make it out sucessfully.

I wonder if HTC has modeled the elevator going down! On the WWII carriers the elevator is in the middle of the flight deck, unlike modern carriers who have them on the outsides.

well then that elevator is going straight down to the see, where the plane is killed with the un happy sailor boy

If this is a Patch 5 related bug I wonder if its related to heavy AC having problems on runway. Now that thay pulled the ports out of the bog maybe the ground isnt so well defined. Dove to deck for speed to chase a runstang on 2 occasions yesterday and got swollowed by the trees easier than I thought should have. Blammed it on my new rig not drawing fast enough but now I wonder.
