[ED ISSUE] AV-8B starts as a submerged Submarine when starting from the ramp of a Arleigh Burke-class destroyer

[Buzzer1977]

The Harrier launches at -1m Altitude and cruises submerged with 170 km/h
Track, Miz and log are attached.

Do we have a special F10 radio command for up periscope?

Why are you attempting to launch from a destroyer? This isnt really a bug but a failure to load them onto a proper vessel.

[Buzzer1977]

I tried to find all capabilities in the airplane, and the mission editor did let me place it on all kind of ships with a helicopter deck. So it's obviously a bug in the mission editor.

Absolutley right on Buzzer, if you want to take off from the deck of a destroyer and the ME allows you to do so then why not, just because somone doesn't think its operationally a sound thing to do that shouldn't deter you from flying the sim how you want to fly it.

Not only is it operationally valid, it's one of the first things they tried with the original Harrier in 1969:

As the ships are not part of our assets, this is not a RAZBAM issue but rather an ED issue. Marking as ED ISSUE and moving to RESOLVED.

Tell me something Elmo do you guys report ED issues like this back to ED or is that a job for us forums users?

@BIGNEWYI hope you don’t mind me asking like this but if a 3rd party developer cannot fix a problem because its deemed to be an ‘ED issue’ then is it down to the developer to report the issue back to you guys or the user?

Hopefully if it is being marked as an ED issue it has been reported to us. But I will check

Can not reproduce, 

 

it takes off for me fine, however it does fly through the mast, I will report that

 

I will mention that it is not intended for use with a destroyer 

 

thanks
