here she is

As always, it's in my Ground Units section. In the future it will probably be updated, but not for now. If you find any bugs or problems, please let me know here or by mail

well, I don't know about that, never was good at placing stuff on carriers so I haven't tried, but I know that it's a hard deck, I've crashed on it a few times.. lol Maybe Jeeves or someone might be able to make a mission for that, I think he's been good at the carrier positioning in the past

It is a hard deck true. I have attempted numerous landings with no real success. But I still cant position an aircraft for take off on her. I'll keep trying. With the Akagi and the IJN I had no problem.

Hmmm... havent gotten one to start atop the carrier yet. But it sure is fun as hell to just fly around it and land on it! I have a little fleet of Hoods, Exeters and a Ark Royal now. Great job Nat! I hope the taking off problem can be solved.

Bad landing...

ouch, you almost got impaled onto the AA gun's barrels

Actually, I'm content with using this ship as a helicopter landing platform

I'm going to make a mission with the Allied fleet vs Axis fleet hope the ships fire on each other

If you can't out gun em,

OUT RANGE EM!

I'm really glad you're likin the Navy that me, Royohboy and mposis have been building I'll look into why we're not being able to position a/c on deck, I've had a look already, but not found any difference in it from one of the other carriers

PS, here's a little note, if you didn't see my post about how flak works, then a big tip is to do this.. if a gun is flak then ALWAYS select a target or else you wont hit a thing with the flak, flak guns fire 360 degrees no matter where the target is, even if it's behind you or out of your gun arcs, but it only fires at a target that you select. I say this because on the quad AA guns, 2 barrels are flak, and 2 are light AA

Thanks for the tip.
Usually I take over the small 20-30mm ones, they're rapid fire

Nat, I love the Navy you guys are building up! I have a set of Taking Off and Landing Training missions for all the Navy type planes and each time a new ship is made I add it to those. And for the German ships I have my own missions for those as well. Keep it up! A year from now I'll have a whole fleet in each of those missions (if yall will still be around in a year, I sure will be)

Another bad landing.

This time I had to put my gear up before I flew off the end.

Argon, if yo'd like to try a slightly different version... I converted the model to mud instead of cement.. but I haven't done much testing yet so I don't know if it slows you down more. Have you tried lockin on the brakes as soon s you lower the gear? It's hard to land like that aswell though, means you have to pull back the stick at just the right time to stop her flippin over..

Anyway, if you wanna try the mud version let me know and I'll mail it over

But crashing on carrier decks is sooo much fun! Yeah send that mud carrier on over I'll see how good I land then. Ive tried the brake thing, it helps some but if your're not carefull you can flip. Im having such a fun time with this Ark Royal! Just for kikks Im going to make a mission with 50 ships and 2 carriers (an armada?) and see how low I can get my FPS.
