Manual Landing

[CPLArtillery]

i need you to make this a thing..... i know 90% of ppl wont use it but i love landing on the carrier..... aaaaaaaaand placing aircraft on the airfields you capture to defend against enemies...... if we can manufacture chasises we should be able to refuel island command centers and place sentries and aircraft for defense.....

I'd absolutely love manual landings! "Manta, fuel state 20, I have the ball!"

Would absolutely love being able to manually land and take off

I just tried to land two mantas and they just circled and circled and circled, and never landed. Carrier was 100%, nothing was on-deck, there were no enemies, and the carrier was stationary. I started them landing with about 12% fuel and 10% respectively. After their third 'circuit' without landing, they ditched, one after the other. I reckon this has happened to me about five times in this playthrough. I wish I could just manually land them... Like, the game just detects I'm 20 feet above the deck at the back of the carrier, broadly aligned with it... and it just auto-arrests it on the deck...

Did you check if you had any free hanger slots? they will not land if all bays are occupied

Placing aircraft on runways was a thing you could do in the original so it would be a nice feature. Probably hellishly difficult to use. With so much going on, your carrier would have to be in some very calm waters for you to find the time to pilot a defending aircraft.
But i'd like it nontheless.

As for landing manually... you can land a rotary drone. But i don't think you can recover it into the bay.
