SH3 Seaking isnt on LHA Tarawa-class

[Cabal_PM]

There is a bug. SH3 arent in Flightdeck of LHAs. But in description, they are!

I saw your post before the edit, for a second there I thought maybe they had added the Wasp. You had my hopes up

I tested out the Tarawa and I was able to load an SH-3H using the flightdeck controls. Is this happening on a specific scenario or just from dropping it in using the scenario editor?

[Cabal_PM]

If you spawn the „Tarawa-class“ there is the SH3 in Hangar. If you spawn the USS Tarawa there is no SH3 neither one of the other Ships of this class has one in Hangar like USS Saipan.

Ah ok. I took a look at the vessel data and for the standard Tarawa it has:

[AirGroup]
usmc_av-8a=Default,6
usmc_ah-1t=Squadron1,4
usn_sh-3h=Squadron1,8 //CH-53 placeholder
usn_ch-46=Squadron1,8

Then for the variants it has:

CustomAirGroup=True
usmc_ah-1t=Squadron1,4
usn_ch-46=Squadron2,12
usmc_av-8a=Squadron2,6

Maybe removing the SH-3H was deliberate on those vessels? Not sure, but It is possible they might have omitted them for historical accuracy. I checked and it doesn't seem like they carried the SH-3H. Because the SH-3H is a placeholder for the CH-53 it might be because they just needed an aircraft to test the function of the ship. I'm just throwing out guesses though.

However, if you want to add the SH-3H you can change that switch on CustomAirGroup to False by opening up:

Oh thank you very much!

The SH-3 wouldn't normally be embarked on an LHA, the aircraft on an LHA belong to the Marine Air Combat Element (or ACE).
