increased power for Lernivo's catapults

[solemn jackal]

at the moment, a lot of carrier capable aircraft can barely take off of the carrier even with both the catapult assistance and full afterburners, at most causing your engines to dip into the water and you to die and at the least being less than a foot away from said water

[steel mirage]

true

[stone mortar]

irl catapult operators only set power to just have barely enough speed by the end of the catapult

its why when you see videos of planes taking off from carrier catapults you can see the plane drop a bit

[steel mirage]

irl catapults don’t cause planes to hit the water surface

[steel mirage]

that’s a few feet

not all the way to the water surface like in aero

[stone mortar]

wait are they really that underpowered in game

last time i checked they worked fine

[solemn jackal]

yeah, at least with the F-14 and F/A-18E, F, and EA-18G, they can barely take off without hitting the water surface

you HAVE to go full AB when you press , to start the catapult to clear the water, and even then as i said it's literally just by a foot at times

[desert crown]

keeps you awake

[stone mortar]

has it been the same since seraphim update

[solemn jackal]

uhhh

[stone mortar]

although the main carrier catapults are directed 270 so they arent affected much by float error

during seraphim update

[solemn jackal]

not really sure, one sec

according to my friend, they did work before the update

(unsure myself since my memory is crap)

[steel mirage]

they’ve been underpowered like this since it was moved to aktanes

[steel mirage]

yup

like op said the hornet/super hornet and tomcat can barely scrape above the water even with full afterburner and catapult

[restive storm]

my newly bought f-18 nearly turned into a submarine when i first launched it

Please fix

[stone mortar]

so it can be that floating point and weird vectors that fucked the power
