I'm not sure if this is realistic? Can a carrier launch fully-loaded F-4s and A-6s with no headwind over the deck, just using the catapults?

Scenario save and autosaves attached. If this is WAD then no issue - just looked odd to me.

Thanks!

Time we spend there is time we're not developing the game. Not worth it as the impact is pretty low and IIRC Harpoon took a pass on this as well.

Sounds reasonable to me - like you said, very low impact. Thanks for clarifying!
