I'm not quite sure if "surely" is the exact right term for that.

But on a serious note: I think there is a good possiblity that we will see Vulkan and SuperCarrier Updates within this summer.

Edit cause forum did forum things. -.-

Would love a fix for AI taxi logic. In liberation missions you can't spawn more than 4 aircraft at a time without them running into each other and jamming up the carrier for the rest of the mission. Supremely frustrating.

 

I regularly fly Retribution missions with 20+ aircraft launching at the same time, and only twice or trice ran into issues. And the culprit was always the Tomcat. Maybe it's just luck, or maybe it's because me and my wingman are trying to clear the deck for AI by departing first. Our problems usually starts during recoveries, courtesy of an occasional BWM driver:

I wish ED would prioritize finishing basic stuff (comms / patterns / taxiing) over the flashy things, but I get it that they can sell more copies with the briefing room screenshots than with a correctly implemented phraseology.

Tomcat simply isn't compatible with the SC still. It causes too many issues with cats and clearence.

I can't have more than 8 spawn at the same time before it jams up. I don't know what you're doing differently than me (can't be much, other than you use retribution and I use liberation). Usually this happens after I've already launched as I usually go first. If I'm trying to launch a large strike package (say to take out a ship), I go in the first package, and the rest behind me usually get jammed up. Often even if I stagger start times by 5 mins it still happens.

I usually set up the E-2 and S-3 for an air start. (Just to get rid of them, but thankfully IRL they also takeoff before the main event begins.)

Other than that, and me launching ASAP from a bow cat, the rest goes as it goes.

And yes, for me it also happened after I launched: twice a Tomcat spawned behind the island and blocked other aircraft from getting to the waist cats.

Pretty sad when you realize that is literally 50% of the player aircraft for the SC(not counting the floating Russian dumpster fire)

 I'm pretty sure once vulkan arrives with the associated Airboss station and ready room this module will be feature complete. We may get the taxi directors before that but I don't think there is anything else, even if it was it is probably on a 4-8 year development and deployment timeline.

Once again:

During the early access period, the following additional features will be added:

• Air Boss station.
• Briefing room.
• Occupy the Landing Signal Officer (LSO) station with PLAT camera, including VR support.
• More LSO station interactions.
• Combined Arms integration.
• "Burble" effect.
• Wave off and bolter return to pattern radio messages.
• Functional barricade net.

Burble effect is already modeled so I dont see that as something new although maybe they will improve it. I will give you I missed the LSO station, I'm sure that will come with the Airboss and Briefing room. I believe everything else mentioned is "planned" which can easily turn into not in scope.

This was a quote from a store page, not my own made up list.

Sadly, it won't be feature complete until this ship is able to turn towards the wind on its own. A basic feature missing since day one. Also, the ATC does not support MP, so maybe they should finally get to that.

Tomcat IFLOLS fix is in testing currently. 

Any updates on it's progress, sir? In last patch notes there was only word on fix for PLAT camera.
