Hay can any one tell me what is the hardest plane to land on a carrier.And what is the hardest carrier to land.
i am practicing to land on carriers so thought what is the hardest carrier and aircraft combination to land (the hardest not the impossible)
There is one combination that is impossible ...
Land the Me-262-V3 on an escort carrier. If you can do that then you truly are a master.

Some jet without a hook or a B-29
In all seriousness, it has always been very difficult for me to land any of the US Navy planes, such as the Corsair or Hellcat onto the HMS Illustrious. For some reason, the Illustrious is very hard for me to successfully land on consistently. The next biggest challenge is the Corsair on a Jeep carrier. If there is at least 15-20 kts of wind in the game it's a piece of cake, but without wind very difficult.
By far, the easiest plane to get aboard with, for me anyway, is the Turkey (TBF/M). Any carrier, any speed, the Turkey is the best. I say that without much time in the Stringbag of course. :oops:
not necessarily hard, but nonetheless entertaining is landing TB-3's on escort carriers
MXY-7-11 on any American carrier- not necessarily hard , but always fatal. :twisted:
Or the lerche on a destroyer. Not necessarily fatal , but always hard.
I've found the Ta-183 to be the hardest since it was very little elevator authority at the slower speeds.
I think the SBD is the easiest.
