I do like Madcat :

i use carrier take off and catapult (same mod) 5.2
i only take 50% fuel + 6 Roquettes
i use take off flaps
i do trim my plane to go up without touching the joystick (15 taps on key borad trim to go up)
one i leave the deck first thing i do is raise up the landing gear and then put combat flaps,
after that i wait until i'm faster than 350 kmh and i raise all flaps.

Also you can (maybe you MUST) add this at end of you mission file .mis :
