F15 F14 F16 and many other planes without parachutes would benefit massivley
low tier naval planes would benefit to as it would be great as it takes forever ingame to stop on brakes alone

for example F15A with flaps airbrakes and brakes takes half runway to stop
meanwhile F-16 taking the whole runway if you come in fast
god their brakes are pitiful

Come in at proper speeds then… ;-)
Just my view (again): I don’t see a necessity to add the arresting cables to runways, as IRL they are just an emergency measure, and certainly not a commodity to shorten landing length in normal operations. Just as I’m opposed to arresting gear equipped landbased aircraft (like F-104, F-16, F-15, Tornado,…) to be able to land on aircraft carriers. It’s just unrealistic and should - again in my personal view - not be “a thing”.
(Or to put in another perspective: I’d rather hope Dev’s add/correct stuff that is actually realistic and relevant, as working bombing computers, RWR’s etc., instead of “novelties” like the proposed arresting cables on runways…)

WELL, we already have most people landing just hard enough to break their landing gear, in order to reload/(repair) more quickly. Imo, there should be a MUCH longer cooldown/repair time for those who break their landing gear. I see much less of an issue adding a airfield arresting wire that exists IRL. Even the US Air Force has them, not just land based US Navy air fields.
this would shorten landing times as you can land and take off faster when landing your at your most vunerable
I agree, not really needed. And given the way people will attempt to use them, they would realistically break the arresting hooks anyway.
most carrier planes wouldnt care
The airfield arresting wires are not for increased landing speed. They are for potential/loss of braking.
They shouldn’t be added just to enable people to be bad at landing.

Which is not why you want them added last I checked.
they should as it takes forever to land most planes because poor breaks
adding them increases time effieciency
Suck less.
Come in on speed and every fighter sized aircraft can be stopped before the end of the parking spaces.
Even the F-15s and F-16s with “bad brakes”

takes longer than coming in at a higher speed
Most aircraft can get within 1km of the airfield going mach and still pull S turns to bleed their speed just fine. Skill issue
still takes more time id rather be able to land at higher speed in my tomcat like its intended to than slow down
Clearly it’s not, if you can’t
it can its just theres no arresting cables on runways on carries you can land it 400mph while on a runway you land at that speed you spend ten minutes breaking
Which you shouldn’t be able to do

navy planes land at high speed
they have gear designed for it
they land at roughly 300 mph or higher incase you need to make a go around
