Kings of Battle - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 2)

So WoWs like Carriers?

They have all the stuff to do it they just not used for that

The CF-18 retained the minimum features for carrier based operations

but f18 made for American carriers with the catapult but uk usesski ramps so would that effect it for that

Yeah, but the Pilots have not been trained to do so. Also what variant kept them

Depends on the carrier modeled. Not all have ramps. Sea harrier repalced the Phantom FG1 before that they used catapult

I have no idea, I am clueless when it comes to ships and aircraft carriers
I just know the canadians kept most features for carrier use and the aussies only got rid of the automatic landing system and the catapult attachments

More like WT 's own: some of the new WW2 AI ones added last year are the player-controlled ones previously found in the files of WT Mobile, and that game also had USS Forrestal and USS Midway present.

W/ the various pieces of other features of modern NF warships( missiles ) being found here, as well as the sharing of vehicles between WT and WTM, I think we’ll be moving into other types of vessel after Battleship additions complete.
Which would leave the GB TT in an awkward spot w/o India, as their own carriers jet equipment skip from Gen 3+ to Gen 5.

Both CF-18s were suitable for carrier based operation afaik
I don’t know how ramp based takeoff works exactly, but if it does like I would imagine it to even export models would work for carrier based operation, as they only lacked the automatic carrier landing system (and in case of the Aussie F/A-18, a catapult attachment)

Yall reckon since the Type 93 wont be end of the line anymore its RP will reduce I hope cuz 300k for 9.3 is rough

Prehaps… we’ll have to wait and see what they do. but id be kinda dissapointed to go:

(probs Phantom FG1 in here somewhere too)

HMS Invicible/Hermes launching Sea Harrier FRS1/Harrier Gr3 (Falklands RP insert here)

HMS Illsustrious launching Sea Harrier FA2/Harrier Gr7/9

to then some slightly random Indian carrier with Mig-29s.

HMS Queen Elizabeth Launching Lightning F-35

Kinda would prefer a hole and just be more heavily dependent on other types of vessels. Air and ground, fine, maybe we’ll need some commonwealth stuff… but… Naval needs to remain royal navy

if we also assume this is air to naval attack more than air to air. Then so long as its got some decent ASMs, then I also dont think it would matter much. Also even in Air to Air. FA2 can hold its own vs Gen 4, with the right tactics.

I mean if we wait a little while, there was plans drawn up to fit the QE with cats and traps initially for drone operations with plans to later make a complete swap to CATOBAR using either the F-35C or its replacement

Yep, QE was designed for electric CATOBAR to be added anywhere and anytime, I think future proof for the 6th Gen

Bruh F-35C, y’all goin wild

The classic problems of the british government, one party will lay down the requirements and then the next one changes it enough to be their own design…

Yep… Though it is a real shame we’d dont have any ramp launch carriers for WT. Taking off in a Sea Harrier from a British carrier is an amazing change in SB, but using CATOBAR to take off in a SHar just feels… wrong somehow

Folding wings in future??

Now that would be cool to have.

No Wyverns? :(
