i want to know how to get carriers to launch aircraft as soon as i'm detected so they attack me untill i'm no longer detected by the enemy

Carriers launch planes automaticly and then only a few at a time. The most
I have seen is 4-6 maybe. If you want large carrier air attacks, you have to
place them into the game yourself. If you want examples of how this is done,
look at how it was created in this mission "Battle of the Coral Sea" or you can DL
my patrol called "Coral Sea" where I have it all set up too. Check my thread,
"Coral Sea Patrol" here in the designers forum....

well if a DD detects you it shoots at you and comes drop cans.

a carrier would launch planes to come attack you.

this is what i want to get in my missions, not a bunch of planes but 2 or 3 that would attack you as long as you were detectable like you would get in real life.

too many convoys with carriers never launch a plane while i'm sinking ships, this is not right to wait to be sunk and never launch attack planes.

I have had both planes from carriers and land-based aircraft attack me while
DDs were looking for me. It just might not happen all the time. Lotsa stuff in
this game is random. I had DDs just out of sight not come to investigate when
I torp a merchant, but then I have had some race over to look for me too....

the only time carrier aircraft attack me is if they were launched at other surface ships, then they act like regular aircraft and attack. if no surface ships are around to launch an attack against then i cant get carriers to launch any planes to defend themselves.

You may want to check your DATA/Cfg./AirStrike file to see what your
settings are. I have modified mine and I know others have too. There is
also a mod that does it for you if you are not comfortable doing it yourself....
