How to setup CASE II conditions for Super carrier

[Jself]

Anyone know how I can make the super carrier go into a CASE II recovery?  I really need the clouds to stay the same for other aspects of the mission (density 9, 5000ft celling / rain)  I can tweak the fog and it will go form Case I to CASE III but no matter what I do I can't get the AI to call out CASE II recovery.

I don't think case II exists right now.

The conditions shown on the picture above are for Case III. You need visibility of at least 5nm for Case I and II. As you probably know, for visibility higher than 5nm, the portion between 1,000 to 3,000 is the cloud base window for Case II: below that value we are on Case III and above on Case I. For Case II set the base value between 1,000 and 3,000 for Case II. As simple as that.

 

I made a mission for practicing Case II with these parameters:

 

-Base: 1200 (to be forced to step down from 1,200ft to 800ft at 10nm).

-Thickness: máximum (6562)

-Density: 9

No fog enabled

I did the same... the point is that the Supercarrier comms menu doesn't recognize a difference between Case II and Case III.  In your example, the comms will be labeled "Case II / Case III", and you will not be able to make a "see you at 10" call.   You can enter your own pattern and break, but will then not get a trap grade due to incomplete comms.  And more importantly, any AI aircraft behind you are gonna come straight in on a Case III, so if you fly the break pattern you'll conflict with all proceeding traffic.

I'm also curious do we have a setting for real case II now?

I've yet been unable to get the carrier to recognize CASE II even when the weather is clearly CASE II.

That said, I've heard from former pilots that CASE II is rarely ever conducted. Most ops are either I or III. Also considering that CASE II is a blend of I and III, regularly doing I and III traps will prepare you for II anyway in the unlikely event that they occured. There's no logical reason to specifically practice CASE II.

I'm able to get clearance for CASE II recovery with clouds preset Overcast and rain 3, even though it seems more like CASE III weather imo. No visual with carrier at 10.

Do we also need to adjust the base cloud ceiling and time during a day in this preset weather? Does it randomly trigger case II or a 100% thing? Thanks.

All three rain presets give me CASE III.

For CASE II you could play around with the old weather system. It still generates the new clouds, but you can control the base layer better to get below 2,000ft.

I was trying to set up the 3 CASES too for some custom made training missions. But it took me a while to get CASE II. You can have a look at this zip and see if it works for you.
