Could alternately have some sort of short set up time, similar to Missile TDs.
Gaijin does not test stuff for the lols even the post apocalyptic event had them test environmental features (sand physics and sand storm we have no sand storm in game yet). They also have subs on mobile so they have an idea of what they want.

True, even the ponies were a test iirc
That’s how aircraft carriers operate though. They’re high-val targets so they sit way back and let their escorts and planes do the actual fighting
Yes but i dont think gameplay loop would be interesting enough to attract sufficient number of players to justify the cost of making playable aurcraft carriwrs
Guys, stick to submarines here if possible. There is a similar topic for carriers where you’ll find a lot more interesting past conversations

And yet the forum for that has been extremely active just like this one.
I wrote a few post on how it could work, basically naval would need reworked
You can spawn scout planes from ships, I don’t see how carriers would be any different

No clue, no hint, no mention in the CM disclosure
I’m going to hold off the cope for now.
Smin mentionned in Jean-Bart devblog that something else was coming for France when someone pointed out that Jean-Bart is top tier premium. That and the remark with various boats of various sizes make me think we are more likely to see missile ships, but i could be wrong and it’s just going to be a paper battleship instead, idk.

Missile ships could be it.
We were told there would be “more AShMs” before the second quarter of 2026. This is the last update in that window, and while I think most people logically assumed it would be AShMs for aircraft, it could turn out to be for ships.
Still, it seems like a distant possibility. In the Dec 2024 Q&A, BvvD essentially said that submarines were closer to implementation than missile ships, that Gaijin had no idea how to adapt the game mode for Cold War and later vessels.
Maybe things have changed since then? One of the ships mentioned in this CM post is Chervona Ukraina, which could be the interwar cruiser, or it could be this:

I’m pretty sure that they have this on mind:

yeah i think same is this ship i dont think can add cold war era ship withouth the sensor he dont have sense
Well, it depends on how the match is set up. For a team vs. team format (non-random, I mean clan battles), the carrier might be a primary target for enemy team, but it can also act as a ‘commander’ ship to coordinate the battle, make orders to naval units, and provide air support.
Just look at Gaijin’s ‘Battle of the Atlantic’ event (one of their best IMO). Planes were integral for hunting subs, keeping them submerged, or torpedoing / bombing the convoy / provide air cover. The carrier commander should have the role of deciding which air support units to spawn.

Unless its going to command bots, i cannot possibly see random players following the carrier comands in any capacity lol
Unless gaijin changes how aircrafts in naval battles work on fundamental level, im afraid this also isnt feasible
Me when i see aircraft carrier discussion in the submarine thread :
