Fair enough. I'll accept that it's a limitation on the QMB. Sounds like something for the next "readme" file, so sticklers for historically accuracy know to specify carrier-capable planes in their QMB missions.

I'd still hold that it's a bug that heavy aircraft attempting to land on a carrier don't cause damage or at least stick around longer, however. I don't know what the weight limits were on a carrier's deck (probably pretty impressive, given that B-25 were able to take off from a U.S. fleet carrier), but a crashed medium bomber on deck would take some time to clear, and a fire involving such an aircraft might take some time to put out.
