Go to War Thunder\content\pkg_local\gameData\units\ships\Campagne\uk_destroyer_g_grafton.blk, open it with Notepad or Notepad++, replace jp_aircraftcarrier_shokaku with us_aircraftcarrier_forrestal, if you wanna try Admiral Kuznetsov, then replace it with ussr_aircraftcarrier_admiral_kuznetsov

If you wanna edit planes on aircraft carrier and their load out, go to WarThunder/UserMissions/CousinHyraxCarrierMission1_1.blk, open it with notepad++ (technically you can do it with notepad but it will be much slower), go to line 1215, replace original unit_class and weapons from armada05 (line 1215) to armada32 (line 2715) with the plane and loadout you want. Doing that by using search and replace function of notepad++ will be much more faster. And I suggest you edit only armada05 and set loadout as default at the first time to see the changes work or not. Good luck.

Any new updates on carriers?
So apparently something interesting i found is that Italy actually had plans to turn one of their Cruisers, The RN Bolzano, into a Carrier in 1943. Unfortunately the Ship was sunk in 1942 but these plans look interesting

is there any comparison thing like that but with a Midway class or measurement thing (preferably football field, but i can work with other stuff)?
Wonder what planes woulda been used. Looks quite funky
More than likely Carrier versions of already existing Italian Aircraft

Probably Re.2001OR
Btw there was a proposal for Impero to be used as a platform for carrying V-1 rockets)
I bet landing on that thing would be a bigger challenge than becoming an famous ace
I want to see Bogue added to the game

We’re close to the last week of the battlepass task involving gaining mission score in vehicles obtained from the current season - in the past, the chances of being able to play Air RB maps w/ carriers on them have tended to increase in this situation when the free prize is a Japanese plane, so this might be a good time to try playing aircraft w/ the " Naval Aircraft " spawntag around the 3.3 - 4.0 area close to the new influx of SB2C-5(THA) 's.
Good luck !

If you guys could name 1 Carrier that you would like to see in game, what would it be? Mine is USS Bogue
Nimitz for things like the F-18, F-14, and F-4J
The carriers already ingame and fully modeled: Forrestal, Ark Royal, Kusnetzov and so forth.
Maybe one of the British invincible class carriers
USS Saratoga (CV-3)
