Carrier captain turning the carrier into the wind on takeoff/landing

You are free to think that "In combat missions, the carrier does not orbit, but sails like the carrier in Ace Combat. In war, you never know what will happen next, so you have to deal with it flexibly, and launch/recovery is not always done in a safe area where a diversion airfield can be set up. This is the way real carrier operations should be."

And I do not deny those who like that type of mission, and I do not want such missions to become impossible to create.

However, if this topic is a wish topic for people who want to realize more realistic carrier operations, posting such opinions goes against the purpose of the topic.

Aircraft and carriers are very expensive military assets, so they are operated in places where threats are absolutely not allowed to approach under any circumstances.

If an aircraft carrier, which is the pride of America, were to be sunk by carelessly operating in an area where threats are expected, the disappointment and dismay of the American people in the U.S. military would be incomparable to the national feelings that arose as a result of the Vietnam War.

But when you think about it, carrier operations in the Pacific War were very risky.

Even the Japanese Navy's attack on Pearl Harbor was a strange event, with nearly 200 aircraft launched at once in the open sea with no alternative airfields.

I can't help but wonder if they didn't plan carefully enough because it was the early days of carrier operations, or if it was actually a US Navy plane with Japanese markings that was launched from a US Navy aircraft carrier (which may be why there were no US aircraft carriers anchored at Pearl Harbor at the time).

And I suspect that the current conservative US carrier operations, which are determined to "never let US soldiers die," were built on the accumulation of such experience.

Oh, sorry. I've digressed, but that's why merging with cyclic ops is inevitable in order to avoid posting incorrect opinions.

If this is not done, it would be unreasonable to complain that wishes in the same context are intentionally split up, making the number of wishers appear small and difficult to realize.
