The aircraft has a 'built in catapult' and a fully loaded Seafire will get airborne well before the end of the deck on carriers like the Zuikaku or Ark Royal. Then on approach with the hook down and 20 knots of breeze this fully loaded Seafire will stop in less than half the length of the deck. The hook also simulates catching a 'wire' by pitching the aircraft forward (without bending the prop). With the hook retracted, the Seafire lands like a normal Spitfire and the catapult system can be disabled with the 'A' key to allow for conventional takeoffs.

In the download there is a comprehensive guide on how to place, launch and land the Seafire on the Ark Royal & Zuikaku and five training missions.
