Vietnamn era combat is not supported simply because aircraft speeds are capped to 1000kmh and FM modelling stops at 10000m by the game enginge.
I was just watching a doco on carriers today. The Midway class was initially straight (like most WW2 aircraft carriers). After Korea, it was modernized. Look at the Wikipedia page and you can roughly trace this class's history. BUT what was revolutionary was the guidance system that allowed pilots to judge the angle of descent and the armour plated flight deck.
But yeh, angled flight decks are more of an ealry 60s design and such, those aircraft are beyond the scope of this game engine
