Yes, sorry, re-reading my post I wasn't clear about that at all. I meant regarding the aircraft slewing about the deck. Going full-speed into a 5kt wind will certainly let them get airborne sooner so they won't hit the rigging at the end, but you'll still get the odd one veering into the superstructure for no good reason and exploding.
I basically copied your mission but gave it a full deck of 14 F4s. Whether I set the wind to head- tail- or sideways, my number 9 usually manages to steer into the superstructure. Occasionally number 7 joins in too.
