Sort of OT: all carrier planes should have more operational losses than land based ones, unless that is already factored in game by carrier operations.
Not necessarily..The Navy carriers had excellent maintenance hangers and aviation mechanics at hand, with spare parts, also at hand, (though I understand you are referring to possible landing and handling problems.)[8D]
As late as the 1950s, the peacetime accident rate for carrier ops was high enough that the average carrier pilot had about a 50% chance of surviving to retirement.
