I usually fly early coldwar Soviet Jets so I didn’t realize the problem. But The Carriers in Air EC used to have a runway icon on map. But now the runway icon changed to normal naval target icon, and you cannot select to takeoff from carriers even if u r a naval aircraft.

Yeah, was changed about 4 ish months ago. No idea why. I have asked, but got ghosted by the CMs

Really hope they would fix that problem. Otherwise Naval aircrafts will be no different to normal ground based aircrafts.

I love bringing up the fact that around the time gaijin updated the carrier models to not only use WW2 carriers was about the same time they FULLY DISABLED CARRIERS FROM EVER IMPACTING GAMEPLAY OR BEING SEEN IN NORMAL GAMEPLAY, EVER
Gaijin is full of wisdom.

Yeah, So do I.
Feels wierd doing runway take offs in a Shar or Buc
Yeah… My Copium is that it was disabled ahead of a overhaul… but Im thinking they decided to instead just scrap it instead of fixing it

This happened years and years ago. Near when New Power released in 2021. Carriers have been missing from air RB since. The sim thing is new but gaijin has actively tried to hide carriers from gameplay for a long time.
It’s double funny that they also have added carrier “launches” since then, but you can’t do carrier launches anywhere but in TEST DRIVE currently.
I mean, in SB, was only disabled a few months ago. ARB… I can see the potential balancing reasons to disable it. Let alone the issue of 16 people wanting to carrier spawn at the same time. Bad excuses to disable it, but at least they have a peg leg to stand on
No, you can’t, because it was disabled shortly after new power during 12v12 meta when the F-5E was the scariest thing flying. Far before even the new “carrier launch” was introduced.
You can land and rearm entirely on carriers, just not first spawn on them.
@Normandy_Corsair Carriers are on many air RB maps again and have been for months.
Rearming at carriers has been a nice thing I’ve done many times now in air RB and air sim.
Yeah I’ve tried that a few days ago. But the carrier got a lot more glitchy. My plane would bounce around and have difficulty to determine if it needs to close the canopy or not lmao
Oof. I haven’t had those problems, but I know there’s a netcode bug involving stuff vibrating after an hour or so in matches, which makes EC modes and custom matches weird.
Yeah, I noticed the same. Nearly glitched through the deck the last time i tried a VTOL landing on one in the SB. Didnt even get the repair/rearm thing popup I was bouncing around so much (though Iy did actually repair eventually)

Which ones
Denmark, Falklands, Golan Heights, Southeasterm City [the best air RB map] to name ones off the top of my head.
