As the title say, I have fully researched the naval line and have been playing for a long time. It seems like a few years back that carrier spawn capable maps just disappeared. We have all these awesome naval craft but no cat launch or traps. Also there are some anti ship missiles in game but it seems like unless you’re in SIM. No naval targets to use them on.

The aircraft carrier models are nice but in reality are completely bugged, the modern aircraft carriers (Ark Royal and Forrestal) vibrate permanently in simulation and the arresting cable mechanics barely allow the planes to be stopped on the length of the runway
They made all maps very samey and bland a few years ago. We used to have diverse and varied maps but gaijin thought that was too fun. There are no maps anymore where you can use carriers at top tier afaik and its true for most BRs as well.

I know I miss the pearl harbor map where you would have to defend or attack. Also the Korean map when F86 and MiG 15 were top tier kings
Yeah, was expecting them to ba added back into ARB when they added the F-14, but nothing. So many great carrier launched aircraft, that just arent and as you said. Even ASMs (thsoe that work in that role at least) to be used against naval targets that only exist in Sim (and many yet to be added that Id love in Sim, but wont get anytime soon because “there is no point”) .
It is a real shame.
though carriers do need a ground up overhaul from pathing to arrestors wires, as they are buggy, but I think its a catch 22. Needs to happen before coming back to ARB, but wont happen until it does.
Not only that, they removed most carrier maps around the same time they added a bunch of new carrier models…
