Correct. However a lot of people like doing 'what ifs' 8)
If is possible to repaint ships and repaint the default japanese carrier, then I will love to see tailhooks on that planes, in the meantime, the Sea Gladiator and the Sea Hurricane are a must!
Seems like someone is already working on adding tail hooks in Russia http://aviaskins.com/vb/showthread.php?t=91
One of the guys has added a tail hook to a Yak-3 and says he's going to do a Hurricane and others.
This is a shot I took of the Yak-3 with the Seafire tail hook added, visual only - it doesn't work as a hook.
I personally have as much need for a carrier born Yak as I do for the Lerche (next to zero), but I really hope he comes through on the Hurricane and others.
