I will ask right here, since the thread is about carrier. Is the take off of F4U somewhat artificial? Because there is no visible catapult, but the plane takes off in twice (or more) shorter distance then on the land. There are 2 catapults on the CV-11 essex class aircraft carrier, one on the starboard and the other on port side of the Bow. Both are moddeled, but (still not functional). So I'm wonderting, if the take off it self is modeled like it would be done by using catapults?
And, will the catapults ever be modeled like IRL?
