Kartoffel Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 First of all, i'm loving the plane so far! But I have one query, can we do carrier landings with the landing hook? For some reason I remember someone saying we would not be able to do so, but I may be just imagining things. So, can we? Thank you for your time! :thumbup: War is easy and is just like riding a bike. Except the bike is on fire and the ground is on fire and you are on fire and you realise you are in hell :joystick:
FZG_Immel Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 thats an emergency arrestating hook. its not meant for carrier landing. did they modelize it so it can catch a wire on a carrier ? I dont know.

Cosmonaut23 Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Its not for carrier landings, but that didn't stop me from trying. And after several attempts I can confirm that neither the airframe or the hook work with carrier landings. Oh well, still waiting for the F-14 I guess.
Iberian Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 They should still model it however, if you were to use the F5 hook on a carrier it would catch even if it's not designed for carrier ops. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Dino Might Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 They should still model it however, if you were to use the F5 hook on a carrier it would catch even if it's not designed for carrier ops. And tear your plane apart and send the rest flying off the front of the deck. Sure. But they'd probably have to make a whole new damage model just so you could rip the ass end out of your Tiger like that.
Reflected Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I also tried to land on a carrier, and did several good ones, but the hook didn't catch any wires :/ Also, once it's extended, you cannot retract it anymore. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
ctguy1955 Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 I am glad I read this, now I know its not for carriers ........ Live and learn
Robert31178 Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 "But they'd probably have to make a whole new damage model just so you could rip the ass end out of your Tiger like that." Hilarious mental picture.......like that scene in American Graffiti when they hook the cop car up to that pole!!
