compare the F/A-18's landing gear with the F-16's landing gear and it'll make sense why it can't land on carriers real fast

BRO, WHO THE F- - K KEEPS COMPLAINING ABOUT IT NOT LANDING ON CARREIRS, ITS A F-16 ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LANDING ON CARRIERS, ITS NOT NEARLY EVEN CLOSE TO BEING A CARRIER JET, CARRIER JETS ARE MEANT TO TAKE IN A LOT OF FORCE ON LANDING, A F-16 ISNT SO ITS GONNA GO CAFUCKINGBOOM. SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT IT NOT BEING A CARRIER CAPABLE JET

the f16 is not showing on my screen can someone help me thx

You are required to land on the carrier on some missions, it is doable without using the wire but extremely hard. You can take off from the carrier with afterburners, just be sure to move to the oposite side of the carrier, engage the brake, set engine to afterburner, wait until you hear the engine ramping up to max thrust and release the brakes.

@Dark Jackal

maybe because its not a navy jet

that might be intended? the f-16 is not carrier capable

Is it me or it's insanely difficult to land the f-16 on the carrier? i can do it with every vanilla plane, but the f-16 keep exploding as soon it touch the landing pad :( i catch the wires but it just explodes

@blockay

Updated carrier spawns to airborne spawns.

@BlackKnightWasTaken runway of the carrier is too short for an F-16 to take off on even with AB it wont get off without going into the drink and its landing gear isn't designed for carrier landings either so youd have a rough time even getting one on there to even deploy, its better if it started on an allied runway

@blockay when in doubt, afterburners

everything is great up until an F16 is supposed to takeoff from the carrier... dont quite understand how thats possible

everything is great and doable until Decapitation. the mission is currently bugged. as soon as you form up and head toward the docks, there are two enemy fighters inbound that disrupt the entire infill phase up until just before the bombing run over the main objective.
