I do not undertand this as important point. Angled Flight Deck was introduced at the end of RTW2 period, mostly in testing as the first carrier build with angled deck was commissioned in 1955. And another important point is that WW2 bas behind that, without WW2 there willl be probably no angled fligh deck so early. Thank you Dorn, for that link. The angled flight deck was invented by Royal Navy Captain (later Rear Admiral) Dennis Cambell, as an outgrowth of design study initially begun in the winter of 1944–1945. The turbojet-powered Heinkel He 178, the world's first jet aircraft, took its first flight on August 27, 1939. It was flown by German test pilot Erich Warsitz. Jets were primarily the reason behind this invention. And this post had some good points about the tech levels needed and the speed of aircraft required for Angled Flight Decks to be researched as did this post. In this non-historical game of RTW2, it is possible that a war with carriers not unlike the attacks on Pearl and at Midway combined with fast aircraft development would see this develop in the early forties. Therefore it is entirely plausible that Angle Flight Decks be permitted within the game as was originally intended. In fact, somewhere along the line of patch 1.03-1.05 or so... Angled Flight Decks worked. They currently do not. I would like that fixed. It gives you something to look forward to with Carrier design late game. Its fun. Dont rain on my parade because you're a pissy historical fanatic.  |

+1 for fixing angled flight deck benefits
Its also part of practicing our drawing skills :-P
From a non-historical viewpoint the angled deck separates the landing and launching zones. Catapults particularly making it possible to shorten the launching zone. It is plausible in a non-historical game someone may figure this task separation out while still on propeller aircraft.
