In the test mission I posted, the two parallel CV are on the IJN side, Northern most home base. It was a test after all to see if I could get TBD's to take off. One CV is IJN, the other U.S. both on blue side.
Here are screen shots of two flights of 4 TBD-1 taking off from Generic U.S. CV.
- Carrier speed 33
- Fuel 40% with torpedo
(sorry if images are large)
1). Two flights of 4 spawn on deck at same time.
2). Lead flight 1 takes off
3). 2nd flight 1 takes off
4). 3rd flight 1 takes off
5). 4th flight 1 takes off
6). 1st flight 2 takes off
7). 2nd flight 2 takes off

3rd flight 2 takes off
9) 4th flight 2 takes off
As you can imagine, I was thrilled to bits when I was able to make this happen. I may have to expand my experiments on this and see how many flights will spawn and launch.
Every day I learn something about IL-2. Such an epic game!
