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
Not this year. New kind of weaponery and ship is on 2026 they saids.
And that will be higly submarine, don’t think carrier will be implemented soon.
WT Mobile has updated once again, and some thread relevant things have appeared:
( 1.13.0.42 · gszabi99/War-Thunder-Mobile-Datamine@b195c7a · GitHub )
This code section has been added to ailist.blkx and to captureai.blkx both
It seems that it may allow bots to use carrier airgroups, when they spawn as carriers.
( the " usecountermeasures " section has been added to all types of naval AI )
This code has been added to ailist.blkx, to carrierFighter, carrierBomber, and carrierDiveBomber
the pictured sections are from carrierFighter.
They appear to be improvements to the logic of avoiding terrain, going off map, and straying too far from the player.
A number of changes have been made to the files in the hud/strategymode folder, which contains many of the controls for aircraft carriers.
These are from airgroupsview.nut
These are from strategypathview.nut
These are from strategystate.nut
Some common themes between them are the replacement of instances of the phrase " curAirGroupIndex " w/ the new " curGroupIndex " and the newly added display of some basic information abt the aircraft carrier itself when the player is controlling one of it 's aircraft.
This part is not new, but it seems I’ve missed it before: in the list of unlockable modifications for ships( AP shells, improved damage control, etc. ) appear these:
( War-Thunder-Mobile-Datamine/aces.vromfs.bin_u/config/ship_unlocks.blkx at 72319b565d0035c6120bcccbf79bcb6d24791ba7 · gszabi99/War-Thunder-Mobile-Datamine · GitHub )

I do this by editing the file from CousinHyrax’s WT live mission Proof of Concept - Controllable Carrier with aircraft launch and defend from aircraft and cargo ships. To be honest it didn’t work perfertly, since some SU-33 refuse to take off and I can only wiggle around to thrown them overboard. But still, it looks pretty cool .

are those the only planes you can use or are there others that can take off?

Now that’s interesting. Wish there was a video tho (even if of Su-33 wobbling off,.lmao)

There are more, but as I said some of them refused to take off so there’s a traffic congestion on the flight deck, which makes the whole scene looks kinda goofy so I didn’t capture that.

I didn’t post it on the WT live, the mission is inspired and based by the work of CousinHyrax, Bombe18 and NorthyPark along with my own efforts. You can go to their WT live by clicking their name and try their playable carrier mission yourself. What I have done is basically editing the .blk file of CousinHyrax’s mission by replacing the original assets name with the assets name I want. Since the original mission is designed for WW2 IJN carrier and aircraft, after editing the flight deck operation is even more buggy thus I didn’t plan to post this version on WT live. I would probably post a fully functional mission after I finished my exam and learn how to use War Thunder CDK, which is at least two months later. If you can’t wait you can do it yourself or I can send my file here so you can have a try.

Thats fair. I just tried CousinHyrax’s Mission, it is really great. The fighters are good, The Bombers do their job. The only issue i had was with Landing. But other than that it was a great Proof of Concept

Quick Question. How did you change the Carrier you control in the Mission from the Shokaku to the Forrestal?
