Thank you for your input Marabekm. You are absolutely right; carriers need to be headed into the wind and speed up to make life for navy fliers easier .

However, I was looking at the rudder control and taxi capabilities of the AI planes (mistakenly posted it as an issue of the player's plane, too. Player's behaves much better and differently due to different FM classes in IL2.) planes on carriers. I find it is strange that they can hardly move their planes with the rudder on both stationary and faster moving carriers. Just put one plane (e.g. TBM Avenger on USN Essex) on a carrier and take a look at how clumsy the pilots try to reach and hold the centre line of carrier.
Moreover, the AI has a hard time to avoid obstacles like bridges when doing so.
