Hi All,

This is regarding damawo's awesome Battleship Ise, found in the WIP section:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=38584.0

Now that we finally have a E16A seaplane mod (thank you Dandolo!), it would be nice to have Ise's catapults rotated to match the seaplane's launch direction.
Here's what I have in mind:

Currently the ship has its catapults fully swept back all the time, which looks a bit silly when launching seaplanes.
My idea is that the ship would cruise and launch planes with the catapults in "Normal Position", and only rotate the catapults to "Combat Position" when turret #4 is engaging targets.
I'm guessing the collision boxes for the catapults (if any) have to be removed from the 3d model to avoid planes crashing during launch.

Thank you,
Glibble

p.s. By the way, if you can't launch seaplanes from Ise, you need to add these lines in your catapults.ini:
