4.11 F4U Performance

[F19_Klunk]

Now.. I went in and checked the size of the carriers.. It is a well known fact that we have always had a hard time with corsairs taking off from carriers, more so in 4.11 than before.

I took a screen from USS Lexington from the game to compare with the real Lexington, When it comes to the width of the carrier, you can fit 2 wildats next to eachtother.. maybe 2 and wreck ...

Now if we compare with this photo you can clearly see 4!!! Wildcats next to eachother.. wing unfolded...

If we take this comparison and apply it on the lenght of the carrier, it is likely that we might have the same size aspect, which would mean that we have Way to small carriers in Il2...
This would be nice if it was adressed. . I can't see how TD would resize all ships.. so.. something else has to be done.. I guess with FMs of carrierborne airplanes

Size of the carriers in the game is exact to their RL specs. Period.


Regarding your photo: a) planes on the photo are SBD, TBD and F2A (on the nose); b) they positioned on the deck in a "checker" pattern. It is clearly visible from the photo, that if those planes were positioned in a line wingtip to wingtip, only two of them would fit on deck in width. In the case of TBD even 2 of them won't fit.
