True to Life Carriers...Can it Be Done?
#18

Elvenking, if you pay close attention to the movies of the actual Doolittle Raid launch, you will see a white line painted along the deck (put down especially for this mission) that the planes had to keep their nose wheels on in order to keep from hitting the island. The AI aren't very good at it, but humans shouldn't have any trouble with staying far enough left to keep the wing tip out of the structure.

I have made a mission of this, using the Essex, and incorporating the WindConfig mod, and it is quite realistic! With the ship doing 56 kph (31 Kts), and about 15 Kts of wind off the bow, the Mitchels get airborne very easily. It's a hoot! :lol: If you'd like, I'd be glad to send you the mission. PM your email address if so.
