With the posting of Collin's new HMS Ruler escort carrier, it might be appropriate to make the point of how challenging it can be to land on a carrier that is realistically scaled.   Smiley

The screenie below shows the stock CFS2 Essex on the right.  Next to it is Collin's Essex in true scale....quite a difference isn't there?  Shocked

Moving further to the left you will see several other carriers, all in real scale, HMS Ocean and three assorted USN escort classes.

The recently released HMS Ruler is equivalent to the next to last on the left....USS Sicily.  Wink

Man, that really brings the point home.   If you can put a plane down on something like the Sicily/Ruler, you really got a set.  Wink

nothing like landing on a postage stamp that is moving and rolling. Hence why Navy pilots are the best in the world.

some nice ships there.
