Hopefully we get naval helicopters especially for the future of Naval concerning sub hunting. People also forget cold war carriers do also have helicopters if Gaijin goes full modern. Poor Japan she just jumps from 1945 → 21st century helicopter dock maybe that cold war project if we really need something also she nearly bought a old USA carrier once.

Well technically they did say the new Wildcat (which is a naval helicopter already) that Britain is getting will get Sea Venom missiles in the future so high chance we see more naval helucopters to follow suit.

News from the devserver files, they added duplicates of all high-detail aircraft carriers for use by mission ai:
And a new behaviour for ai-controlled aircraft, called " carrierWingman ". It 's different from the carrierFighter, carrierBomber, and carrierDiveBomber behaviours which have already been added to both WT and WT Mobile, in that the sections that those have describing how to take orders from the player carrier 's airgroup controls have been removed.

Wait what do you mean they’ve been removed?
In comparison to the existing ones; the parts that they have are not present on this new one.
So instead of being called CarrierFighter, CarrierBomber, CarrierScout, Etc. They are now all called CarrierWingman?
No, those are all still there. This new one has the carrier prefix, but not the parts for carrier-related controls that those have.
I may be stupid hen. Can you elaborate?
So there were already some AI behaviours related to carriers, which we’ve seen in WT and in Mobile. Those have code lines to allow them to interact w/ the controls for airgroups. That 's what carrierFighter, carrierBomber, and carrierDiveBomber are.
Today, they added another ai behaviour to the dev server files, called carrierWingman. It follows the same naming scheme as the previously seen ones, but in comparison to them, lacks the code for interacting w/ the carrier airgroup controls.

Oh i see, So they just added it but haven’t worked out the Controls or Code for it yet. or there is no controls for it and they are actually just supposed to follow and do the same thing as the lead plane in the squadron, which is what the other Carrierplane controls are for
The purpose is currently unknown, but yes, it seems that way.
I’m gonna tell my friend about this. He’s gonna be so excited for this. Thanks Hen :)

Did they add fujian and Nimitz?
Hey Hen, i’ve told one my buddies about it, and he likes the info. Still have yet to tell my other buddy.
To no fanfare, missions involving carriers have been re-enabled on the Live server in the testflight mission editor
and Dynamic Campaign
Give them a try before they disappear again!
