majorandme Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Is there a way of doing CQ on the supercarrier? I have done the launch mission but when I come back to land will the cat 3 and 4 teams be in the wires? If I do the Case I recovery and taxi to the bow cats, the teams there ignore me and I can't hook up. I'm going to try I few things today but thought others may have an idea or point out something obvious I have missed. Cheers Edited May 23, 2020 by majorandme
Strider21 Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 Yes you can do repeated landings and launches. After landing go to the COMMS menu -> Ground Crew -> request launch. This will Reset the CAT crews and you can taxi up and go through the launch sequence. Once you are airborne they will go back to recovery mode clear of the Landing Area. To get the LSO to work correctly what I found works is to call INBOUND after launch and them immediately call SEE YOU AT 10. You won't get any additional calls but once you roll into the groove you can CALL THE BALL and the LSO will respond and grade the landing. If you bolter or wave off you do not need to re initiate COMMs with the tower and next time you are in the groove you can CALL THE BALL. Anyway not sure if that exactly how ED intended but it seems to work reasonably well to do repeated graded landings and launches. If you use the tanker or fuel on the carrier I have found this works reliably for at least a 20 passes.
