Enable some LW kites on the carrier... !!!

I think what is needed is not the ability for non CV planes to be able to launch from a CV but more maps and I assume that is otw. If a map like the present is only used every other tour then CV jocks would get their joy on that tour and on the next map the land based guys would get their way. Say we are playing on a map with more land. Limit the CV's to one per side. Limit the CV plane availability to bases close to shore. I don't know but it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth to see a La 5 on a carrier deck. I know the historical factors are twisted on here but dang it just doesn't seem kosher.

I have no problem with a close substituion like the 109F for the 109T.  But the MA arena map  really is small enough for land based fighters to be able to get to the action easily.  Whether the MA is historical based or not at least stick to some basic realities such as CV aircraft from CV's only.  Adding a plane like the FW190-A5, JU88 or B-26 to the list of  CV enabled aircraft is akin to adding air-starts and pirate Zeppelins. All we'd need is the large "O" in the HOLLYWOD sign to fly through in our quest to rescue the damsel in distress on the run-a-way train.

SOB,

Doesn't it do that now?  You have to be back on the wires, but if you land a non-CV bird and overshoot it, just let it roll back into the wires and it should get re-armed/fueled no problem.  

heh...was thinking of a sortie last night where it didn't, but I just reviewed the film, and I was well past the wires    Thx for the info!

Yes Wesy that's what I think. Just how far do we wan to go with this.   I think it's fine the way it is really. I like to fly the 38 a lot. I haven't felt handicapped by anything but the STAR WARS defense systems on the CV's

Fine but...I NEVER want to hear a "realism" or "availability" post from any luftwhiner ever again..
