Small question about aircraft landing...

[DespairsRay 0]

Just wondering if there is a graphical cue when planes land and the tire touches the ground/water. I.e. Puff of rubber smoke on a runway, dirt, water splash etc when the wheels themselves touch the environment.

Hi

most of the time you will land vertical on the LHD and i never seen smoke puffs and kick up dirt when i land on tarmac airfield

What part of touching the ground did you not get?C130 does not take off from the LHD

The ship the C-130 landed on was USS Forrestal, a Forrestal class super-carrier, the LHD in ArmA2 is about 1/3rd the width, and 4/5ths the length. You'd never get a C-130 on an LHD without hitting the superstructure (island)

Impossible to land a C-130 on an LHD. Its wing would go through the bridge.

It is already very difficult to land a C-130 on a 400m strip (or in the case of a CVN, 342m), so an LHD with a length of 200m will definitely not support a C-130. Especially not under any sort of load.
