Is the CVN-74 deck crew in the screenshot a static object? Or are there plans to support Supercarrier DLC in the future?

Haven't checked the Stennis after last update, but this screenshot shows kneeling crew.

So either it's AI crew, or ED is adding a kneeling static crew object

If high poly CVN-74 is free for all so should be high poly Admiral Kuznetsov and its other low poly model should be permanently removed from the game because it doesn't belong here in 2022. I can understand requirement to pay for advanced modeling in terms of systems and deck crew but 3D model and basic functionality of landing and taking off should be part of the base game at least for these two carriers since Supercarrier module is a thing.

Another approach is to remove ships from the base game all together and price them as separate asset DLC.

Of course not to mention that Kuznetsov doesn't get any attention, so far, in the Supercarrier module which it is part of... should it really be there in the first place?

Agreed, Kuznetzov should probably be free, although I'd love to eventually see it brought up to SC standards as far as the deck crew goes. 

That said, unless someone makes the Su-33, I don't see the Kuznetzov being more than a sideshow. FC3 just doesn't cut it these days. While the Su-33 is basically a navalized Su-27S (which ED suggested we might get), I don't think they'll get to it anytime soon, especially since it'd be ED making it, and they usually do one variant per module.

If we are really lucky we'd get a full fidelity 29K 9-31 instead of the 27K/33. imho at least

Yup

We won't and for the era we're working with, the MiG-29K is not correct for the Kuznetsov, anyway. It was only sold to India in mid-2000s, when most of "modern" DCS is set. At that time, Su-33 was the only fighter flying from Kuznetsov. The MiGs didn't replace them until 2016 or so.
