This what we thought, so you can land and launch what ever fighters or bombers or whatever from other ships so long as you do not exceed the ships maximum capacity for each type of plane that are actually on board at one time, right? Would you be able land and launch plane types that are not on the roster that could be re-armed with the ships ammo that are available for same type aircraft but not the named one's one the outfitting of the carrier? The other concern was in a campaign type setting, if say you are running Japan and have a carrier that only accomidates Zekes and Vals, if you had a flight of Kates returning and the ship roster does not have them on it, they would be lost? I know that carriers exceeded their maximums when other carriers would be damaged or lost, that they would take on another ships aircraft, but this would be at the end of the battle and they would just leave them on the flight deck until they could port or make other arrangements. Not trying to be arguementive, just looking for answers to feed to the rule laywers in the group.
