Concerning the population of aircraft carriers

[Michael-Fr]

Hello,
I noticed when comparing the trailer and tutorial videos that the Roosevelt(71)  aircraft carrier is populated and the Washington(73) is not.
I'm planning to play the campaign with the F14. Could I take off and return from missions with the Roosevelt(71)?
I assume so, given the squadron selection option at the start of the mission, but I'd rather ask you.
Sincerely,
Michael

Hi,

Thank you for your message. 

You can start your mission from either one of the carriers and if flying with Hornet also from Ramat David airbase.

This empty carrier situation bothers me. I suppose it's to allow the deck crews to operate without being disturbed by inactive items on the deck. However, I'd like to be able to fill them myself from the mission editor (before launching the "campaign" mode). Do you think this is possible?

Also, the supercarrier will eventually be patched, and the ground crew will eventually operate on a full deck = hope.

The deck is empty only until you select flights to launch from the carrier. There is no statics just for the reason you mentioned as when launching all six Tomcats and six Hornets from one carrier they have hard time enough not to collide even without statics.

There is no way player could add statics or active units into the campaign as missions are protected by ED.

Thank you for this clarification.
Well done for your work, it keeps the passion alive.
