Air start cannot repair / respawn on carrier?
My P-38G didn’t get repaired 
Personally I don’t think you should get an air spawn, at least not at such high altitude and speed. The P-38 feels pretty OP already

It’s not a glitch, if you aren’t a carrier-borne plane then you cannot repair on the carrier.
You don’t get to enjoy not having to take off from it AND get to land on it.

I wish you could choose 
Kinda sad that in the campain with the carriers the carrier planes are at such a dissadvantage due to the airstart.
Sure not beeing able to repair sucks but how many times did it really safe you?
If you cant reach the carrier with the current damage you are already dead but if you can reach it odd are the damage wasnt anything major.
So having the airstart is a massive advantage (no takeoff needed and start at max speed =>less predictable for enemy fighters).

Yeah I just avoid using planes which are carrier-borne right now.
Means a tiny oil/water leak doesn’t doom you, so you can play a bit more goofy, actually try to intercept bombing runs, mess with AA, etc.
Seeing LEAK is sajj hours
