Place-able Aircraft Carrier

[PVT. james_u7qobv7 0]

Just a place-able carrier that we can do Carrier-Ops off of would be wonderful. I have always wanted to do carrier-ops in Zeus, doing things like CAS requests, transport, amphibious assault, ETC. So if any Bohemia staff/developers look at this forum thread keep this in the back of your head.

What is wrong with the USS freedom?

Well, we cant place it in the normal zeus interface or editor i belive.

not sure about Zeus, but you most certainly can place down the Freedom in the regular mission editor.

The Freedom is available in the regular editor under Properties (yellow symbol). 

 

If you feel more adventurous you can use the Nimitz (disclosure: I maintain it). It's capable to be placed in the Editor and via Zeus. If you do place it via Zeus you best use the Nimitz aligner first, where you can alter the bearing . Then place a Nimitz in the proximity of the Nimitz aligner and it will take the bearing from it, thanks @leshrack for this feature!. See the screenshot for a Nimitz spawned via Zeus without aligner, facing north (at the bottom of the pic), and a Nimitz spawned with the aligner, facing a different direction.

 

Nimitz in Zeus

 

Placing planes on either carrier in Zeus can be challenging. I've created a mod 'Zeus deck boss' that helps you to place planes from a top down view in Zeus.
