When you are adding "modern" carriers, will you also be adding new carrier born fighters, and a revamped aircraft launch system?

I hope it will be able to launch three fighters at the same time and not just one while the other has to wait for the cat to rearm. And visual indicators for when the cat is armed and ready to launch. The cherry on the cake would be ground crew saluting you as you take off

Still don’t understand why they removed it, even though it’s at 7.7 it can still kill most things it faces and it can still withstand most heat rounds when angled. It’s comparable to the Object 279 when uptiered and downtiered. Except it’s much slower less maneuverable and slower reload

The reason why no aircraft larger than the standard fighter, dive Bomber, or torpedo Bomber sizes is because of (well) the size, especially the area, wingspan and height, with the wingspan of the H8K 3, especially the regular H8K (allied codename: Emily) is 150"1 feet, and for the BV-238 wingspan as 300 feet, the flying boats are called "FLYING boats" for the same reason, but with the flying boats, there are exceptions, such as the same aircraft which is the TBY Catalina has landing gear, badass

Maybe I'm entirely wrong and you are allowed to J out in Mixed ground battles, but this seems like a quality of life oversight.
