Generating Angled Deck Carriers

[spitfire97]

Hi I just unlocked angled flight decks however when I auto-generate a design to get a shape to work with it never generates one with an angled flight deck.

The "auto angled flight deck graphic" button remains greyed out unless I'm rebuilding an existing hull

Is there a way to auto-generate a new angled flight deck design without having to draw it myself?

Also I seem to recall angled flight deck designs being capable of mounting more than 2 catapults but this no longer seems to be the case even with reconstructions, does anyone know why?

The time period that you are currently in only provides axial deck carrier templates. This is because the angled deck technology does not arrive until around 1950, which is near the end of the period covered by this set of carrier templates. If we provided angled deck templates in this era, the angled deck templates would start showing up in 1945, which is much too early. The decision was made to not provide angled deck templates because they would only be viable for about 3 years at the end of the era. It's not a great solution but better than the alternative.

It may be possible to make the "Auto angled flight deck graphic" button work for this period. This button will automatically generate an angled deck design for your carrier. There may be some issues doing this, but I'll make this request in the beta team forum.
