Hi, just checking out the Pacific War website at the Matrix Games and I noticed that Seaplane Tenders will be having Air Groups. I was wondering about cruisers and battleships. These ships carried between 1-4 Seaplanes each (Some didn't have any). Especially with the Japanese, they were VERY useful in tracking down enemy Task Forces instead of having to rely on planes from Aircraft Carriers. Will this be included in the game, or is it just too small of a detail?

That was one of the reasons I stopped playing Carriers at War. Whenever I played the Japanese, I was furious every time a Kate flew off my carriers on a search mission.

I understand that the Japanese used their Capital ship-based planes for search MUCH more than the Allies did. The Allied plan was to use them to assist spotting for the guns. In actual usage they were often pushed over the side as the fight was starting because they were a fire hazzard. I would like to have the option of using them, however.
