Quite a few of us have had that dream, Senf-Man82 - and for a while too, I might add. Peabody did this a few years ago:
that is an animation attached to a node on the ship. It just keeps playing over and over and over... Tagging a game condition to "show" the animation would be an idea, make a sound maybe even, having it go faster at the initial "catapult launch", drop a bit as it comes off the ramp, then start the climb... but you still really don't have a "scout plane". Just an animation of a launch. Another idea is that the UBoat side of the game has that "calling" feature, to ask for assistance from a plane or another ship, but I haven't even looked into whether that's possible to do on the US side. Put that "call-in" together with the launch animation, and you could have a simulation of a scout plane... As I've mentioned to someone else, if you do it, you would be world famous, and all SH players the world over would be eternally grateful to you...
