It's a side-effect of the engine. Were the devs aware of it? Most likely. But that doesn't make it intended by design.

but they are.

as i recall your own aircraft or ally aircraft shooting a fighter landed inside your base will deal damage to structures.

and if it's enemy aircraft, they'll down the shields.

part of the problem is how clunky it can be to load aircraft into the carrier - has anyone ever managed to mod the movement values to improve loading into carriers or air staging????

This is in the same category of transport that lands on water, can't be shot by air, but can be torped by subs

I always like it when people place a transport on land next to valuable targets. Swoop in with half ton of asf, kill shields; and voila; very few strats needed.

while they are in the process of landing they shoot at the landing asfs, most shots miss and hit carrier. With the swarms of asf you see in games like seton the carrier can die in half a second or so

Do they shoot while they are in the process of landing or when they are stored inside the carrier?

Okay so they removed ASF killing fatboys, So i think they need to put a significant damage reduction on the carrier to ASF weapons as well. I am not saying immunity but a 90% damage reduction or something.

Nuke colliding with air is also rare but good fun and no exploit.

ASF shooting shields can be done consistently so I can see why that is annoying, but not unfair IMO.

The game is full of examples of projectiles colliding with objects or units not directly intended to be targeted. It's by design and is definitely intended. The dev's have cleary stated that in the past.

in past was fixed similar problem where was asf denny shield, because shoot on air under shield, or on air production...
This si totaly same only carrier is already ussles, so it occur rare. It is kind of exploit

Is this something that really needs fixing? How often does it come up?

The Midway battle was an example of how aircraft and their bombs/torpedos/ammunition that were exposed to direct fire, contributed for the sink of four japanese carriers.Better stay , IMHO, originally, as the game was intended to work.

The projectiles fired can and will damage anything they impact. This is not a bug but rather how the game was intended to work. Now as a solution, it could be possible to allow fighters docked with or departing from a carrier to be non-targetable. Once away from the carrier they can be scripted to allow targeting as usual. The end effect here is that the carriers would be less likely to receive damage from AA projectiles.

ASF can easily dedstroy an aircraft carrier if asf are landing in it.
