Hi!

This thread was moved from the ATO forum since its topic (Taiho) seems better aligned with the Fleet Boat Mods than the Atlantic U-boat mods.

well people were thinking about making an airfield follow your ship, so those with launchable aircraft will be able to take off...even though there are no takeoff anims.

Whoa, looks like an interesting idea

Also useful for IJN Sub mod, I have always wanted to have launchable planes here

one could make torpedo animations e.g. a torpedobomber that takes of the flight deck and attacks the target. i dont know if one could disable the impact effect and attach secondary weapons to a torpedo(=airplane,tried that some time ago,but i do not remember if it worked,it was a minor project...),otherwise one would always have Kamikazes.but it can be done,one has a combat-capable carrier.

Well, to get it done you will need to overcome two problems in the game I spent a little time trying different stuff.

1. The flyable planes are not the same planes you see on the ships. Same with the one that you see landed in the water. If a flyable plane touches ground, water, or a ship it blows up. So they can't land or take off. So you need to figure a way around that. Not saying it can't be done, just something to work out. And you could make a plane start flying just above the surface of the ship to simulate a takeoff but it won't spawn within 20 miles of the player unit, so you will never see it.

2. A Airbase will not follow waypoints so it won't follow the ship. Again not saying it can't be done, you just have to figure out how.

But those are the main reasons why we don't already have planes taking off from ships and subs.

I wanted that in TSWSM but the things mentioned above stopped me, as well as a super virus that deleted everything

Just a suggestion, but if you got a virus, you may want to d/l your stuff from filefront and check it out so you don't spread it.

Sorry you lost your stuff, that must be a real pain!!
