CATAPULTS INOP MP

[Tomcat388th]

@NineLine @BIGNEWY   Any idea if this will ever be found or fixed. Our last Thursday's squad mp miz was another Chinese fire drill trying to find a catapult that would work if that doesn't happen it's a JBD's stuck up. Rarely does any carrier op go as planned for getting in the air in a timely manor. Even for the mission devs trying to use a time more than trigger tied in with the carrier air group. Its a crap shoot trying to guess what will work depending on the mood of SC.  I turned in a support ticket awhile back and was told the devs monitor the forum as an answer or something like that.  Before you start adding the ready room and updated deck crew be nice to have the basics fixed.  I know your trying to make it as realistic as possible but when I served with VF 31 on the Forrestall when a cat broke it was fixed. I apologize for the rant but when you get online with 30-40 other guys and your flights are the SEAD DEAD CAP or whatever for the Vipers and Eagles and then the feces show starts and nothing works or half works. In a nutshell it sucks.

Hi @Tomcat388th

the situation you are describing can often happen when people start taxiing around the deck and across cat trigger zones, to find parking spaces for example. We have some future updates that will bring plane directors to the supercarrier which will help keep things a little more organise on the deck. This feature should resolve some of the issues you are facing and our dev team will continue to refine the supercarrier. If you have short track replay examples feel free to attach them here so the teams can take a look at the different scenarios creating the issues. 

best regards

Thanks @BIGNEWY  I'll try and get a track next time if it not to big. Most of out mission last 1.5 hours and this happens when we are first spawning into the game starting up then taxing to a cat. No parking going on but heres a copy of the miz if it helps any.
