WT Mobile 's latest update included some changes for aircraft carriers, so here they are:
This changed section is in ailist.blkx, affecting carrierFighter under the " hunt " command. It seems to me like a new set of checks to help AI wingmen follow the player 's controlled aircraft, but it might do something else.
These revised sections affect carrierBomber when the target is " bigShip " or " smallShip "
This one is similar to the above one for fighters, but affects the bombers instead.
This part affects carrierDiveBomber behaviour against bigShip, note that there was no change to smallShip reaction and that this section does not mention attacks using rocket weapons.
And this section again, this time for carrierDiveBomber
The following code changes are all from aircraft_carrier_unit_input.das
These code changes are from aircraft_carrier_unit_spawn.das
From supportplaneconfig.nut, seems like the visual priority of bombers and torpedo bombers on the HUD is being switched.
In cfghudaircraft.nut, the button which appears to be used for switching player control back to the ship now as a new icon

Do we know if any of those AI control calls are already used anywhere else, for example the existing AI Attackers, that could be found on Air maps?
Interesting
Sadly there is a bug currently where AI Neutral Aircraft Carriers capture any and all aircraft. So in customs nobody can enjoy aircraft carriers atm with members of the opposite teams on the same aircraft carriers.
I don’t think that mechanich is necc… for game purposes we can have aircraft just appear and disappear on flight deck as is. here is a link. It is based off my original idea from 5 years ago.
il2 FB has something like this, but it would be an all new mechanic for WT… by the end we would hve a new game.
This doesn’t appear to be the case, the control menus in Mobile reference the specific AI behaviour types that have the code allowing them to react to the control inputs. Since WT also has the carrier-specific AI and control inputs, it 's reasonable to assume that the same will be true here even though the control menus haven’t appeared yet.

Randomly thought of this but, think the next updates be somewhat combined?
Like playable carriers coming in with the f-18 or submarines with naval helicopter’s?
No. this year is for battleship focused.
We already have Naval Helicopters but no armaments like torpedos and depth charges yet. Similarly the Shackleton is still missing it’s torps and depth charges.

I am pretty sure they acknowledged this year we may expect Submarines being implemented.
So hopefully we get playable carriers aswell.

Meant to type more sea helicopter’s. Slightly hoping for a 53 sea stallion lol
