Emergency arrest wire systems on airfields

[zcrazyx]

With the F-5E being added it has a tail hook for emergancy landings, I'm just wondering if there is a system already in game so that we can utilise it on the F5E or other upcoming aircraft if not than it's definitely in my wishlist.

Wags mentioned during one of his live streams that this is a possibility for the future, but not something close yet.

 

EDIT: That being said: Yes, I'D like to have that, too. But compared to other stuff that is missing I'd say it is a tad lower in priority.

Finally found the livestream where he answers that very question!

I dunno, I'm stuck between it, on one hand it may reduce the amount of wrecks on runways on the other that's only if used correctly.

Oh I'd love the feature too, but as he says there is a lot of stuff that comes before it, and needs to come before it for it to be possible.

Not only as an emergency system, but for the Hornet.. No?

That's a different system.

 

Hornets do not make arrested landings (like on a carrier) on land.

Theoretically the navy ones could still use it although it may be shady to do so. after all the gear is made for heavier landings and the hooks are still sturdy as to withstand the tremendous force from stopping within meters.

Oh it does work, no doubt about that!

It is just not done for carrier landing practice.
