The Germans had a "heli-kite", a little gyrocopter that was towed by the submarine to altitude to extend the visible search range. If you had to dive, oh well...

Seems even more heartless than the Catapault Armed Merchant ships...

It stinks to me that modifying exe/dll is required, which is against EULA...

Aircraft carrier sub isnt a new idea:

http://www.divernetxtra.com/wrecks/wtour5799.htm

Sank in 1932 as someone left the hanger doors open.

Dived it last year and hopefully again next week.

The japanese tried it in WW2 with limited success. Cant really see any need for one this day and age. A subs role has changed.

That was a WWII era, has anyone tried it, say 5 years from now?
As gnirtS said, I don't see a need for this either, but I recon this could be a very interesting object, but I simply don't see a way how to do it...
@caymanlee: I bet that your only chance is to contact someone from SCS and they have purple S avatar on this forum, simply PM someone....
Good luck and I should be the first to be notified of your success, and then this would made to the front page of SubSim....
I can see it before my eyes:
The first mod ever to launch an aircraft/helo from a sub for Dangerous Waters...
Don't count on Jamie anymore, as he left, I think....

Yeah .. that was something very like this. But that was US (IIRC), and it had an engine (thought really simple one).
