Deck Crew Hand Signals during Night time ?

What is planned for the SuperCarrier Module about Naval Ops at night ?

Do the Deck Crew Members use luminar light stick for their Hand Signals during Night time as in real life ?

Night decks are pretty important and we haven't heard/seen anything about it, it essentially doubles the animation requirements and effort involved.

What are the possible interactions on the supercarrier with regard to helicopters?

This question was worthy of it's own thread labelled "Helicopters on Supercarrier".

Any info about the "night subject" on the SuperCarrier Module ?

Are we going to see things like that on our new SuperCarrier CVNs :

Or that :

Or is the Deck Crew behaviors&appearance at night are planed later in the EA process ... or never ?

If the deck crews have those lighted signals, I see every server online going to night operations soon after the release.

:D

Got to make sure that the right color of wands are given to the right people.

And the Hands Signals at night with those light sticks are rather different of course than those at day time !

It doubles the work for DeckCrew animations ... I am not sure it is already modelised for the first EA release ... !?§

At least if we have deck floodlights we will be able to see the crew at night. Now, in nights with no moon is impossible to see anything. I'm willing to see a screenshot of deck lightning at night.

Night with clouds. No moon isn't a problem; once you acclimate starlight is enough to read by.

And yes, I sat on the aft missile launcher and did just that in the middle of the IO, so...yes. Not easy, but it can be done. :D

I second this. It's a very important addition, and I wish ED could share more information about the deck crew night ops. (The pessimistic me say - if it wasn't on their trailer it probably does not exist)

I must say that you are probably right !

Because it is or should be very nice to see, so they wouldn't have resist to show us some nice shots at night in the trailer ... I'm afraid !

I hope that they plan to at least include that part later in the EA process ... !?!

This is an important aspect (Night ops) of the super carrier module. Would like a official response from Wags.

Happy Simming,

I'd imagine we'll see the full spectrum of deck operations, given they've taken the time to develop communications for Case I/II/III, as well as the barrier net.

So now ... do we have any news about the "Deck Crew visibility during Night Operations" on the Catapults ?

Will they use Light Sticks with special arm signs as IRL ?

Or is it a requested feature to put on the WhishList for the SuperCarrier ?

??

So you are saying you don't know if night operations are possible with the Supercarrier yet? Without the light sticks, what is the alternative?

The Supercarrier has deck lighting and floodlights.

Detailed lighting systems that includes the long-range line-up lights, IFLOLS, Animated "rabbit lights" along landing area centerline, deck lighting, floodlights, and ship number on the island.

Hi all

 

I have no information about this, I have moved to wish list for now and will ask the team.

 

thank you

Thanks a lot !

The Supercarrier has deck lighting and floodlights.

Yes, but light sticks are still needed to be able to see signals from the deck crew.

A quick look online at night carrier operations will show light sticks in use, even with the deck lights on. It is also obvious why the light sticks are needed at night, even with deck lighting.

The Supercarrier has deck lighting and floodlights.

Pretty sure carriers don’t use floodlight at night during combat ops.....something about light discipline.....I dunno

Not having lighted wands for the deck crew would be leaving out a pretty important piece as I’m sure a lot of guys do night ops.

Personally I hate how the rift s handles night so I do mostly daytime but still it’s an important feature....

Came here to check on feature status after a campaign night take off where I could barely see the deck crew in the dark.  I don't believe we're supposed to use our landing / taxi lights.

Correct, no lights/taxi lights on deck unless an emergency. Until this is fixed I guess we have to make due. We really need those wands!
