Did they remove aircraft repairs on CVs?

i just landed on a japanese carrier to repair my plane and nothing happened, i havent played in 1-2 years so the last thing i remember was you used to get repaired in couple seconds after landing, this time nothing happened and there was no feedback, then left my plane and it was just poof gone

one thing i learned from this was CVs are not out of bounds and you can walk around

Only planes that starts from a carrier can repair on a carrier.

So for instance if you land on a carrier with a Spitfire nothing will happen as the Spitfire does not start from a carrier.

However if you use a AP-1 (Avenger) it starts from a carrier and can thus be repaired.

i was using A6M2, it might be a bug related to map i was playing, i didnt pay attention to its name, its fine on other maps

The A6M2 (Model 11) in the regular tech tree was originally a version without the hook required for carrier landings, so in the last Far East Front patch, its spawn was changed from carrier spawn to air spawn. As a result, it cannot be repaired on the carrier.

A6M2 the devs made a mistake and added a prototype variant of the A6M2 instead of the real one so yeah… wonder when we gonna get real A6M2 in the game …

It’s one of the more **** things in the game They decided that the should not be able to be repaired on the aircraft carrier because the articular model was not carrier capable Which is also ridiculous because the model they have in the game and the descripcion actually says it’s a carrier fighter They only built like 56 of them that were not carrier capable and those were the preproduction batches that didn’t actually really see service or a limited service.

So yeah it’s freaking stupid The world’s most famous carrier aircraft fighter can’t land and repair on an aircraft carrier

They could have added any number of Japanese army fighters like an Oscar Give the Japanese an air start early in the war on the earlier War Thunder is chock full of options but they didn’t do that for some reason

ohhhh, thanks for the explanation, does the premium A6M3 have carrier re-arm? or Ki-100? i dont think the latter is carrier based so probably no…

The Ki-100 is an Army aircraft, so it cannot be repaired on a carrier. The premium aircraft A6M3 is a Navy plane, so it spawns from a carrier and can take off and land on it.
