DCS World DCS: Supercarrier

DCS: Supercarrier is an add-on for DCS World that adds a detailed Nimitz-class aircraft carrier and related naval assets. The carrier has an angled flight deck with arresting wires and four steam-powered catapults, supporting air wing operations of up to 90 aircraft. Its air defenses include Sea Sparrow missiles, Rolling Airframe Missiles (RAM) and a Close-In Weapon System (CIWS).

Carrier ships

The package includes three Theodore Roosevelt-class carriers: CVN-71 Theodore Roosevelt, CVN-72 Abraham Lincoln and CVN-73 George Washington. It also provides a free graphical update to the Russian Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer and the Su-33 Flanker D fighter.

Carrier operations

The carrier features a detailed polygon model with high-resolution textures, weathering and markings. Animated systems include arresting wires, jet blast deflectors, radar antennas, aircraft elevators, the catapult bubble between catapults 1 and 2, catapult steam and risers around lowered elevators. Lighting includes long-range line-up lights, IFLOLS, animated rabbit lights along the landing-area centerline, deck lighting, floodlights and the ship number on the island.

You can spawn up to 14 aircraft on deck. Carrier radio communications cover Case I, Case II and Case III recoveries. Functional air defenses include Sea Sparrow, CIWS and SeaRAM systems.

Deck crew and vehicles

Animated deck crew support launches from the bow and waist catapults. Mission designers can place static deck crew and vehicles: the AS32A-31A Flight Deck Tractor, AS32A-32A Hangar Deck Tractor, AS32A-36 Aircraft crash and salvage crane, and P-25 Fire Fighting Vehicle.
