One observation I would like to make about the mission is that due to the state of the SC Kuznetsov, Su-33 pilots really struggle to line up with the wheel chocks for launch. This is because they are directly beneath us and the fact we have no deck crew what so ever, and if you overshoot your line up by a fraction on a meter the wheel chocks when they are raised will launch you aircraft into the air and smack you back down on the deck unceremoniously smashing your under carriage on the deck. Likewise happens if you undershoot your line up as the JBD will launch you into the air as well. Not to mention the aircraft "crashing" onto the deck again causes damage to the carrier .
To cut a long story short, is it possible to give the Su-33 pilots external camera views to aid in lining up for launches ?
