Dehuman Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 It can be stationary and you can land no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AegisFX Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Yea. Anywhere 0-30kts. Really not much of a point to even have it move. Though I'd have it move for a campaign.

RyboPops Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I'm not sure what Russian SOP is for their carrier but IIRC the USN requires at least 15 or 20 knots of wind over deck via a combination of natural wind and generated wind. 25 to 30 knots is WoD is more prototypical, however.

winchesterdelta1 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Generated wind?? How should i see that? Is there like a big fan on the deck? Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyboPops Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Generated wind is the wind created over the deck just by sailing the boat into the natural wind. For example, if the natural wind is 15 knots and the carrier sails directly into the wind at 15 knots, their combined velocities produce a wind over the deck of ~30 knots with maybe a knot and a half of slight crosswind due to the angled deck.

ruddy122 Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Thanks for the advice I'm setting up the Kutznetsov to steam at 59 KMH on a straight track with at least an hour leg For an Su33 carrier approach at around 290 KMH (156 knots) with a ground speed of 126 knots How do I make the "meatball" work on the Kutznetsov?
