Wish: Additional Carrier Classes - Forrestal and Essex

[Andrew8604]

Will the Forrestal be added to Supercarrier so that it can have animated deck crews?

I would really like to see the Essex Class carriers added, too.  Even though they are not supercarriers.  Just the 6 Essex class carriers from the 1960's with angled flight deck and steam catapults:  group A - Intrepid, Ticonderoga and Hancock; group B - Bon Homme Richard, Oriskany and Shangri-La.  Each group could use the same 3D model with different hull numbers.  The upcoming F-8J Crusader and A-7E Corsair II will utilize the Essex class ships, as well as the community A-4E Skyhawk.

Yes Or you could do an Enterprise witch is only one ship and would give more variety.

But yeah Modified Essex would be a dream come true...

or maybe give us 2 Midway class, the Midway and the Coral Sea of course 70s modernizations.

or give us Enterprise, midway and Coral Sea in a new pack...

Nimitz and Enterprise would be welcome. When doing research on carrier deployments with the current/future list of DCS assets, it seems like it's always the same carriers being deployed. Nimitz, Enterprise, Ike, Teddy seem to have done the most during the asset timeframes we have but the Teddy is the only module from that list that we have.

It's not like the JFK launched the '89 Libya shootdown jets [F-14A] or strikes following the Beirut bombings [A-6E, A-7E, F-14A, Syria map] and did a ton of Med cruises [Syria Map, Suez Map, Caucuses even], or exercises in the North Sea and North Atlantic [Kola Map] like when the Tomcat went overboard in '76, or, in her last cruise carried VF-103 on their last Tomcat cruise [F-14B, PG Map].

Can't believe I forgot about the Kennedy after getting that Swordsmen 1976 (77?) skin pack.

Having at least one of each major class or one-off boat would be great, as long at they can be painted up with the right deck numbers. Unfortunately some existing carriers are more difficult than others or plain impossible, plus there's the issue of the island's lights in the models now.

Nevermind the deck crew textures in certain modules apparently being locked away/encrypted or unavailable for reskinning and being able to add squadron specific jerseys and helmet decorations for, as was common. I have no idea why they'd be locked away, but apparently that's a thing.
