Ramped Carriers for Britain

With the introduction of Ramped Carriers for the USSR for launching the Su-33. Can we get the British equivalent such as HMS Illustrious added into the circulation as well. Aircraft such as the Sea Harrier currently launch via a catapult, except, the Harrier is not catapult compatible and instead launches using a ramped carrier in the same manner as the Su-33.

Adding Ramped Carriers for aircraft such as the Iconic Sea Harrier would be such an incredible improvement to the immersion offered within War Thunder and would add a lot to the game.

Would you like to see more Ramped Carriers added to the game?

Or as a placeholder, Replace HMS Ark Royal in SB maps like Denmark with Kuznetsov, not under the Royal Navy flag, but at least the method of launching is historical

only issue is other naval aircraft that are not meant to fly off of such decks, some may not have a problem but a few will. but maybe have non compatible aircraft have an air spawn like land bases aircraft

or another way, have both, let the player pick

I wish there could be some Air RB maps specifically designed for carrier-based aircraft to take off and engage in combat on aircraft carriers, similar to the Pacific War maps from World War II. Back when update 2.0 was first released, quite a few maps included carrier operations, such as Malta and Spain. However, carriers were removed from RB maps because some players complained they couldn’t handle carrier landings and takeoffs.

This makes me wonder: considering the amount of effort GAIJIN put into creating these carriers, isn’t it a waste not to use them in multiplayer games? I still remember the Baku carrier on the Spain map, equipped with very powerful AK-630 CIWS for air defense—it was incredibly cool. I don’t understand why Gaijin decided to remove them.
