Hi guys, you might think I'm NUT's....& you probably ain't wrong but, with all the requests for the german carrier aircraft & the problem that you cannot get the tail hook to 'work' without touching the F/M:

Would it be 'possible' to create a 'Graff Zeppellin' carrier, by joining/inserting/adding, 2 of the big USA carriers thus making a 'LONG DECK CARRIER' at least 1/3 longer so that these aircraft can land & take off with reasonable success & loads!

This super carriers could also be used for the current jets etc & would open a totaly new door into this great game...... hock:

Now, i understand the complications & its probably impossible, but you guys are bloody good at this & you would be touching the ships F/M and not the aircraft's.

So, what do ya think? Am I going NUTS???

Thanks all for your great & hard work.

Hi,

just to continue my crazyness, what about addindg a 'slight' ramp (HMS Invincible style, but less) to this super carriers, this would help me 262's & other jets on take off, thus reducing the length?? hock:

Thanks.....please comment!

Hey SHVAK,

should you going NuTS, I am right with you !!

Your idea is good... I would say really good.

It were possible to play szenarios, that was planned by Axis...but not done.

Is someone out there, who could handle that ??


Best wishes and regards

Just add a tailhook. No one will complain!

[Gizmog]

I really like the Carrier idea, I'd be the first one to download it if it's ever created.


I'm not a fan of the tail hook idea though. I don't think it's a matter of people complaining as much as a matter of being possible. In 4.05 it would be no problem (adding a tail hook) , but my understanding is that 4.08 is encrypted in such a manner as to make changes like that next to impossible.

Before creating imaginary things, we had better to spend time to repair some historical and realistic mistake ... It's my point of view .... IL2 is a realixtic simulator, not a STAR WARS game ...

Jet on CV .... Long CV to allow aircraft without hook to landing .... :? :? :? hock:

Cheers ...

We are far away of the idea of an "Star-Wars" mod by creating a long carrier.
I agree that there are better thing to do instead of creating "fantasy things", but that could be interesting to have a long carrier.

I agree with the sentiments expressed about not spending time building (or trying to build) a "long" carrier, but only because I feel that any single engine fighter in the game can be landed aboard any of the carriers, except the CVEs, right now. I have even managed to consistantly get aboard an Essex class ship in a P-80. I also believe that it would probably be more difficult to actually do this than putting a tailhook on any existing plane in the game.

I would rather go back to 4.05 to fly planes that were modified with a tailhook (FM) than deal with some fantasy behemoth CV built to accommodate a hookless plane in 4.08. But that's just my humble opinion. :wink:

Bring on a Panther

[VT-51_Razor]

I'd settle for the P-80 with a hook and a Panther skin!! :wink:

[Hellzone]

doubt that will happen.
Still... very intresting ... and can be done.. only if i had java class skills

[SVHAK]

hi guys,

Thanks for your input in the topic & all ideas/comments have my highest respect, however, just for the sake of discussing/clarifying, i do not see this project as a STAR WARS idea.

On the contrary, it is a very intresting 'alternative history' idea, where by adding 1 object, ie 'long carrier', we would be opening a multitude of scenarious.

Let me ask you guys if I may, would you have preferred the 'lerche' or the 'Graff Zeppelin? in the 1946? Remember that the Graff Zeppellin was actually built (the hull at least), captured by the russians, and used as a storage vessel & then target practice.......so it wasn't that STAR WARS!

On landing on Carriers, I can also land almost anything on full real on a fast moving carrier, but that comment is a bit unrealistic, because what you want is to be able to 'take off' with a reasonable amount of fuel & bombload to be able to carry a mission. If the solution is in 405, well, why not, we would then also be able to maybe add torpedoes to Stukas! :wink:

If you want a good 'Star wars' idea......here goes......lets make the 262 flyable with the lerche engines & create our own 'Kriegsmarine VTOL carrier force'.......now that....I accept as STAR WARS!

Good comments guys, I know i'm nuts hock:

[Brophmeister]

If Maddox released another addon (and god forbid, mabey he will) with ONLY the CV Zeppelin and a couple of German naval planes I would sacrifice the Lurch (or "flying dildo" as I like to call it), the 262HGII, a couple of random Russian planes we shouldn't have but do, and a large number of unborn children....

personly im not keen on fantasy style mods :wink: just my view thats all
