So, I'm not sure exactly why I've become so obsessed with this in the past few days, but I'm wondering just how many people were able to accomplish this mission properly. Also, I'm wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong.

I was able to complete the first "intro" mission on how to takeoff and land on the carrier, but the second mission where you have to do it five times, I'm convinced, is impossible.

I've tried every conceivable angle and approach (both literary to aviation and not) and every time it ends with what looks like a good landing, my nose smashing into the deck and FAIL. I land at between 125 and 140 kts, between 200 and 500 fpm.

I done it literally about 30 times and every time, no matter what, without fail, my nose smashes into the deck of the carrier. WHAT on earth am I doing wrong???
