Oban Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Is it just me, or has everyone else got Canadian F18's on the deck of the Stennis, for the Cat1 recovery instant action mission? It's not a massive issue, but surely changing them to USN Aircraft isn't that difficult? Looks out of place. :( AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX with Radeon Graphics 3.00 GHz 32 GB RAM 2 TB SSD RTX 4070 8GB Windows 11 64 bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlusterJet Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 From a Canadian like me I say it just shows our skill that we can land a ground based fighter on a Carrier. We our just that good. We don need no arrestor hooks even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWHite Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Just so you know. Canadian CF-18 pilotes (not all, but most of them) have the the qualification for carrier Op's. So the Canadian livery is where it beongs, a long side of coallition fighters all in the same big family. A major a worked with when i was serving had a Golden pooly for opver a 100 carrier landings. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilWillis Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Yeah, unrealistic. Let's just swap them for UK liveried aircraft. Much more like it! :music_whistling: :music_whistling: :music_whistling: I do think the videos trying to provoke WW2.5 and getting Canada to invade were a bit much.

joey45 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 So a Squadron of CF-18s is doing a joint exercise with the USN. As the CF-18s are fully carrier capable I see why not. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Because they apparently don't have arrestor hooks for starters, and limited carrier qualified pilots secondly :D Actually I looked closer and mine are Australian F18's it's possibly down to the order in the way which the default AI F18 textures are stored in the liveries folder ?
