Hey all! , first post in the forum.
Just another little tip that can make the difference between a successful takeoff or having a swim in the black sea when going on or above max take off weight.
Just use your cobra button! Not listed in manuals, probably against the operational doctrine and whatnot, but it works, specially in multiplayer where 99% of the carriers I see are wrongly configured, ie stationary or a very low pace, with crosswind etc.
The cobra button will allow you to maintain a much higher angle of attack, that the fight control system doesn't, making you able to gain enough speed before falling. It just needs some practices with how much sick you need to pull.
