huh, maybe my TT is bugged out so that its actually correct or something idk

Are you on the dev server maybe?

Still shook by that, it should have been a frs 51 as squadron vehicle instead!

I’ve spent enough time buggering about in test flights to land tornados on carriers reliably, and even did it in SB a few times same with the F-111s

just pray to god you catch the wire cause you’ll struggle to recover if you do, despite me usually coming fast for a carrier landing. I tend to slam the elevator to help get the hook to catch the wire more reliably. which usually causes the plane to become very unstable if you miss and become airborne again. very much not textbook

it can be done if they’re going in circles but it amps the difficulty up a lot, and VTOLs are dead easy to land as long as you have an SAS mode active

worst parts about landing a plane on a carrier is that HMS Ark Royal has no AA, and I’ve been victim to R-24Ts and ambitious long range AIM-9G/L, and the Forrestal is always on the wrong team for me to use

F-111B reference

In a different timeline the F-14 was cancelled and this beauty took its place

“beauty” me when i lie.

F-111 (especially the F-111B) looks way better than the F-14

This is a hill I am willing to die on

F-117 :P

This one is special, the arrestor hook actually has to physically break through part of the aircraft to deploy

F-111 doesn’t get the credit it deserves 100%

But that is an interesting take

Wings out with the catapult I think it can happen. I mean look at the big carrier capable aircraft. The USN had the A-5 and F-14 and those are huge planes

Are there plans to add fuel dumping to other planes this update?

With a reduced payload and half filled fuel tanks a catapult launch might be successful.

This is very off topic, so I'll hide the details

As I’ve said before, the F-14 has way larger wings and more powerful engines compared to the Tornado. Sure, the F-14 weighs like 35% more than the Tornado, but the F-14s engines produce over 50% more thrust than those of the Tornado.

The A-5 is a similar story, its wings are more than twice as large as those of the Tornado, while having a similar weight and engine power.

F-111B was an absolute whale of a naval combat aircraft but still was carrier capable, I think F3 and GR4 could operate off carriers with modifications on the landing and takeoff parts

Just asking, what’s the point of dev server and bug reports if they don’t acknowledge any. CS/SA5‘s painting can’t influence missile launcher // Gaijin.net // Issues
Not a bug apparently.

We all have an ideal high tier Swedish tree that Gaijin butchered, so here is mine

J35D , foldered with J35J
AJ37, foldered with AJS37, comes right after the A-35 Draken (Or F-35 as Danish call, the incoming squad vehicle)

Then we pull a CV90105 move and replace J35XD with J35Ö to put Finnish Draken into the subtree

For squad vehicle, I suggest J35F with AIM-26s, not so special but F-4C equivalent. Not every squad vehicle has to be secret premiums that shine.

I don’t think we need another event vehicle at rank VII honestly. Basic JA 37 would be fine

Edit: I read somebody suggested the F-35 to be placed below Saab 105s. You might want to check this recently passed suggestion:

[DEV] CS/SA5 Incorrect 30mm ammunition count // Gaijin.net // Issues

““It’s a source on a different vehicle, so this is not a solid proof.””
