Such a great mod, if we can get the AI to use the cat. I know it's being worked on, just want to keep this near the top.

Rgr that 8) Now that the Korea map (beta be it be,) shooting Panthers off an Essex class is oh so good

Thanks for this great MOD 8)

great mod. gave it a go with the panther and it worked a treat.

found it a little tougher with big load outs though. maybe the speed could be increased a bit to give more or a push of the deck?

cheers. keep up the great work

When the actual Panther FM is finalized and released it might help.. either way probably a better idea to wait until the FM is final before tweaking the catapult settings.

With 2X500 and 6 HVAR's and 100% I could not get airborne..not even close really..

So friction when are you going to mix the Ai mod catapult and carrier take off one?

[Fireball]

The initial cadre of AI have been undergoing extensive training on the catapult for the past couple weeks. They're doing very well, in fact in typical AI fashion they seem to be getting a quite arrogant about the whole thing. They should get their final checkout in the next day or two. After that they'll be sent to Air Group 51 for a few days of operational training. If no major deficiencies are noted, they'll then be available for assignment to ships worldwide.

That sounds GREAT Fireball

With any luck, maybe it might coincide with the release of the F 86/F 9/MiG 15!

[Fingers crossed]

Well here's hoping anyway, and thanks for the great mod! 8)

Thats awesome Fireball.. just messing with the new KTO map and the new Panther and the various carrier mods and this catapult make IL2 a whole new game..
