Playing as Japan and have unlocked "Seaplane carrier - Enables small seaplane carriers" in shipboard aircraft operation and want to build a AV but when i try to build one it gives me the error that i cant build "large" seaplane carriers but it doesnt seem to have aything to do with tonnage or # of aircraft. Anyone knows the specifics of this (couldnt find answers to my question in the manual either)?

According to the manual, there shouldn’t be a restriction on the size of seaplane carriers. They should become available when you unlock level 1 of shipboard aicraft operations. There is not supposed to be a size restriction, at least according to the manual.

my only guess is that you may need 2 (or more) different techs to build seaplane carriers, and you only have 1

Yes I just unlocked the ability to build large seaplane carriers so now the problem solved itself kindof but I still would like to know what constitutes a "small" and "large" seaplane carrier for future reference.

5 or less planes seems to qualify as 'small'

Maybe the small/large isn't the displacement but the size of the floatplane capacity. Maybe 12 planes is just too many for a "small" AV. |

Well I might have been something else wrong but I tried that and it tried to make it into an AMC and if I accpeted then it would complain about my trying to make AMC's during peacetime.

Might be that the displacement limit of carrier also applies to seaplane carriers:
The displacement of a purpose built carrier will be limited by the level of the "Shipboard aircraft operation" tech X 4,000.

tbr is right, they have to be very small. That said i could get a 30 knot (ish) design with four 6 inch guns and some armour, and three floatplanes, with just the first level tech.

Managed to build a small seaplane carrier. There's a maximum air-wing capacity of 5 floatplanes for a small AV.
