Oooh… Now Helis in Naval would be fun, ASMs, Torps and Depth charges from Carriers would be a lot easier to balance and add

I think just making sure other options were available would be fine. Instead of a carrier for Germany, you could just have Tornado MFGs with ASMs for example
Japanese pilot?

I could imagine in the future a carrier based fighter might be a generic spawn option, like how naval has generic aircraft for spawning, so that nations with carrier based aircraft would take off from a CV and nations without would take off from the airfield

WT Mobile 's system might be relevant, since they’re getting those ahead of us ( Aircraft Carriers - WT Discussion - #18 by Motherhen357 )
tldr: expanded the catapult seaplane mechanic to support control of multiple aircraft in the air at once.
It 's not even a ship …
This Argus looks really funny, all the weight in the front and a chimney alone backwards all by itself xD
how does it not sink forward? :p
Its meant to be a hopsital ship as well lol but because someone had the bright idea to slap ciws on its superstructure it would kinda break the geneva convention to be one
Life hack: if your aircraft carrier is also a hospital nobody is allowed to sink it
Tell that to an exocet, they dont discriminate, any radar contact is a threat and will be shot

If the point of it is to control the carriers and launch aircraft (like WoWs) then yeah, that would be a problem
If the Carrier are akin to what they are now in some gamemodes. Just as an alternative AF. Then instead of having ship based aircraft, just have some good land base options. But in either respect. I think its going to be a really messy addition and there will always be gaps.
to take this back. Japan will have a gap, Germany will have a gap. Probably even Russia will have a gap. Only nation with no gap would be US. So the need to fill that gap with Indian aircraft I think is kinda small. Especially as there is no guarantee we are going to see Gen 4 aircraft era naval. I think most of it will be capped at Gen 3 (Falklands era) aircraft and not later.
So F4s, Sea Harrier, A-4s, etc and less so Mig-29s and F-18s

France could have some nice CVs too for different ERA, less gap than some.
Yeah, I just think anything past 1980s/1990s is going to be really messy in naval.

Germany won’t have a gap, it will have 1 Graf Zeppelin and thats it
Most likely, if people wanted to play a game of shooting SM-2s and harpoons at each other from across the Mediterranean then they should go play sea power or something

Yep. Considering it was (i think) the last major naval engagement, its a good timeframe to base it upon. We saw a good mix of ASM and counter ASM to somewhat model the gamemode on.
What do you mean ?
I think navals biggest problem will be trying to find a balance between what ships fight each other, with the line between WW2 and post war being almost non-existant in naval we may see some wierd stuff like 1960s destroyers facing pre WW1 dreadnoughts
We already have ships from the 50s at brs as low as 3.7 so it will be interesting to sea how gaijin does it
Some walls should be here between some era.
