I have some carriers that don't seem to be able to operate their planes due to all of the spares I loaded on board. Essex class carriers can carry 90 aircraft. How many can they carry as before it starts to impact flight operations?

Thanks all

110% or more shuts down flight operations.

Thank you! I assume that means 99 for the Essex class carriers. I need to check that one!

Essex sometimes operated well in excess of 90. 110 - 115 weren't uncommon with deck & overhead storage. I understand it is a limitation of the programming, but you could stuff those carriers and still conduct flight operations.

It's 110% not counting the reserve aircraft. The reserve aircraft are assumed to be suspended from the roof of the hanger.

Oh, I thought the reserve aircraft was putting me over the limit! Thank you for the correction.
