The floatplanes didn`t land alongside,when their misson is done they usually ditch in the sea.
Well, regardless of how the actual missions were flown, the original designer's intent was for them to recover on their floats along side the sub and be hoisted back aboard.
Fireball, when asked about making a catapult for a merchant ship for the Hurricane, replied that what would have to happen is, a modeler would need to make a "mini carrier deck" in which the catapult rail would be placed, then it would be possible for him to make it work with his carrier takeoff mod. I would guess that then a mission builder would place a single plane on the map with the ship (this sub or a merchant ship) and select take off and set the ship as the target. When the mission starts, you would find yourself sitting on the catapult rail ready to go, and launch by releasing your chocks. Sounds simple eh? :lol:
