Carriers on more maps, but no more spawning on carriers?

[KhorneFlakez1337]

As the title suggests, what is the point of updating carrier mechanics and adding them to more maps if you just disable initial carrier spawns?
Sure, it’s neat to be able to land and re-arm on carriers, but letting naval aircraft spawn on the carriers was a genuinely great touch and made naval aircraft somewhat unique.
Please revert this change and let naval planes spawn on carriers again!

What are you talking about?
Just spawn on the carrier…

And no, being allowed to spawn on carriers should not be reverted.

@Stona_WT

Changes have been made to all Air Realistic Battles missions with aircraft carriers:

• Destroying all aircraft carriers in one of the teams does not result in an instant win anymore;
• Each team now has two aircraft carriers and two ships escorting each of them;
• You cannot spawn on aircraft carriers, you can only land on them mid-battle to repair and rearm;
• In missions where one of the sides did not have an airfield, an air spawn was enabled so that both teams are on equal terms.

Its a change being made for ARB

I literally spawned on them with the F-14 in a match.
If unintended then there’s a bug.
Either way that shouldn’t be reverted and spawning their should remain.

No, it should be reverted to allow for carrier spawns again. That is what Khorne is asking for. It sounds like a bug that allowed you to spawn on a carrier, but you arent suppose to be able to

They took out carrier spawns an update or two before the release of the F-4J… Still waiting to launch my naval aircraft off a carrier …

[KhorneFlakez1337]

You can spawn on carriers on the current version of WT, there just are no high tier maps with carriers.

Now they are adding carriers to high tier maps, but they are planning to not let you spawn on the carriers anymore. That’s some backwards logic if you ask me.

[TheGhOsTGeneral]

I think it’s the speed advantage. Taking off from a carrier gives you speed a bit faster than airfield. Also a problem with distance since they have it so close. I’m just hoping they give us proper carrier selection on start soon

[Morvran]

It might be. But it might also be issues with too many people trying to spawn on a carrier at once

[KhorneFlakez1337]

That could be, but if that’s the case, why not limit the carrier spawn to certain planes?
I see nothing wrong with Harriers, Buccaneers, A-6s, A-7s and other such high BR subsonic naval planes getting a headstart.
And when it comes to prop planes I really don’t see why they shouldn’t be able to spawn on carriers, as most of them don’t get catapult launches.

[KhorneFlakez1337]

@Smin1080p_WT is there anything you can tell us about why spawning on carriers is being disabled?

It would be a real shame to lose that ability and I highly suspect that the additional carriers being added will end up being ignored by 95% of the playerbase as there are barely any planes that can reliably destroy carriers and landing on carriers is way too difficult for a lot of players
