Tornado, F15, I think maybe F16s. Typhoon. Etc etc.
Arrestor hooks are also used on runways in an emergency

All of them can land on carriers, but F-16s, F-15s, Jaguars, T-2s/F-1s, F-104s, Alpha Jets, etc aren’t built for carrier operations lol

Imagine how large a carrier would have to be to let Tornados successfully take off lol
Just need some RATOs

I haven’t tried in most of those but f16’s are quite easy to land on a carrier, I have it imagine some of those others are too. @Morvran too
Maybe, its getting down slow enough and balancing between stalling and flying. Also if the Carriers are moving in a circle then its nearly impossible.
Only aircraft other than the VTOLs that I can reliably land (In SB) is the Bucs and Sea Vixen

I can imagine F-16s being easy to land on carriers, but realistically you wouldn’t be able to take off again in most non-naval planes
I’ve done carrier landings in the Jaguars and T-2 as well, but you know there are bound to be people out there trying to land Starfighters, Eagles and Tornados on the carriers.
Gonna be especially funny if Gaijin remembers to disable re-arming and repairing on carriers for non-naval planes.
The default is usually you just airspawn above the carrier if you arent in a carrier capable aircraft.
I know, they have airspawns as a failsafe/emergency option in a lot of different scenarios as well. A lot of the larger prop bombers get (or at least used to get) airspawned after landing on the smaller airfields and iirc hydroplanes get airspawned after re-arming near carriers
The ultimate flex is landing the F-104 on a carrier

Makes me wonder, why didn’t they build a carrier with ZELL launchers for F-104 operations? 🤔
Tornado is smaller than f-14
Im now imagining something like USS Iowa with those instead of turrets :D

The Tornado doesn’t have a catapult attachment, unlike the F-14
The F-14 also has much larger wings and more powerful engines, even when accounting for the general size and weight difference
you know that there are 2 other vtol fighters in develoopment in germany

Yup and it’s a real shame they didn’t enter full production
I have a question about the transfer of ships. I was always amused by how the developer transfers vechicles back and forth, forgetting that people hang talismans on it. At the same time, everyone is SILENT as if this is how it should be, I have not noticed any exclamations about this anywhere. That is, you buy a talisman in the hope of pumping up vechicles of a certain rank, the developer transfers this equipment without giving any compensation, wonderful, simply wonderful.
What are you talking about?
I think. He had a ship at a specific rank (like Rank V) and now its moved to down to Rank IV and so now has research effeceincy negatives if used to research rank VI stuff
The only vehicles going down in rank are the M551 (tank) and the Phong Kong T-34 (SPAA) tho
