[Reported] AV-8B spawn position/direction on Tarawa wrong

[shagrat]

When AV-8B spawns on the deck (aft of the island) on the LHA-1 Tarawa the aircrafts nose points towards the bow of the ship. It should in fact point towards the stern of the ship (angled of course, but switch the direction from front to back), to allow the aircraft to roll to the stern, turn on the tramline and line up for take off, without requiring a 270° turn.

If you look at basically any picture, showing AV-8B on the deck of LHA or LHD and they are preparing to launch or parked after recovery they all point aft to the stern of the boat. The rare photograph where they don't, shows either port visit line ups, or crowded decks to store the aircraft/optimization of storage space, so they can't launch anyway.

This should just need a simple tweak to the spawn position and plane direction on spawn.

Huh I had no idea it was supposed to be that way, but that totally makes sense! For heavy payloads, I've just been shifting into reverse (nozzle 98°, throttle 50%) and backing up to the back of the boat before take off! Your solution seems more realistic though

+1 we need to choose where to spawn on the boat or at least spawn at the stern so we can do a rolling takeoff. right now you spawn at the tip of the bow

I noticed this, if you respawn it puts you on the bow, but if I select slot I get in at the back. When I die, I go back to role selections reselect the slot and spawn back at the aft
