Hornet Case-I Difficulty With Current Ships' Wake Issues

[Fropa]

Before the 8/29 open beta update, the CVN's wake was clearly visible and I was able to use that as a reference when making my base turn towards the carrier. After the 8/29 update, the CVN's wake is practically non-existent and my Case-I landings have suffered ever since. Has anyone else been frustrated with this new ships' wake as I have been?

 

P.S. At a speed of ~30kts, water will splash through the CVN's deck, and is unrealistically high as the bow breaks through the water. I've been trying to make a mod/dev aware of this issue for the last month now, but I have yet to see a response from either on relevant threads.

I can still use the wake as a reference, I can see the vector that the wake and carrier have and when I cross that where I should be roughly in altitude and aspect.

 

A longer one would be nice, but as a VR player these wakes are much much better then the flashing white lines we had before.

Interesting. I didn't realize there would be such a big difference in VR vs. non-VR users. Glad to hear that it's better for you. I'm curious, do you have issues with unrealistic water height/water splashing through the carrier deck as the ship's bow breaks through the water at ~30kts?

 

That issue, and wake issues for non-VR users has yet to be even acknowledged by a mod or a dev after one month and 3 threads on the subject. I get that they're busy, but at least having one of them post here acknowledging that there is an issue and that it will be fixed eventually would be greatly appreciated.

Boat wakes do need to be a bit stronger, reference the ones in this video as an example

Thanks Mustang. It's been 2 months without so much as even a fart in this general direction from ED regarding this issue. Guess I need to be a YouTuber with a large following to actually get a response from someone who can fix a problem...

The lack of ED's response to this issue is very discouraging. I have been very disappointed with the aircraft carrier and operations in DCS and there seems to be no progress towards improving it or even fixing current issues. I am beginning to unfortunately realize that ED may have very limited resources and employees to adequality support DCS.
