just for reference the loadout is 8x ciws, 2x adv railguns, 2 adv sams, and 2x msams. Produces about 10-12 aircraft and will constantly replace losses.
Gonna be a bit of a read i have some comments to make. :)
Which of the 3 paks do you have to install? When you said install 1 or all 3 left me somewhat confused. Can i just install pak 1 for it to work in the campaign?
I installed all 3 "still not sure if that's correct" and i fought one in the air corridor mission with all the civilian airliners. The two F-15 active's that spawn naturally in mission plus the air wing that spawns from the carrier was enough to almost down me in my old F-4.
I like it but man the constant replacement of F-14's until you down the carrier can be a real pain in the butt not mention its like fighting an angry porcupine with cheese-whiz/CIWS and multi-sams with rail-guns connected to the sams. Could barely get close, Jokes aside is it supposed to have this much firepower?
If so id suggest finding away to limit amount of aircraft that spawn. EG, the number of aircraft 10 it launches makes sense for a aircraft carrier however they shouldn't be able to replace maybe more then 4 aircraft after they've already lost like 10.
Mind you I'm still going to be using this mod because i like the variety it adds plus i like the idea of the federation being able to deploy aerial carriers whenever they deem that sort of firepower to be necessary. Any installation info would be appreciated.
You can install any that you want. They aren't mutually exclusive. The Littoria has three versions - Mk.1, Mk.2, and Mk.3, respectively - and each pak replaces one of those versions with the carrier. My personal recommendation would be to install just the Mk.3 pak for Conquest mode, and all of the paks for the campaign (campaign doesn't really use the Mk.3 Littoria at all).
is it supposed to have this much firepower?
Yes, I added an extra turret or two to the carrier to give it some added durability.

Apparently the aircraft spawning functionality is hard-coded, so I can't modify it.
I'm really not sure where this could be changed, but it is an interesting point. This might surprise you but the only thing this mod changes is the model of the Littoria - the aircraft launching functionality alone is controlled by the presence (or absence) of a few animation bones.
Right - I guess it would probably requiring the F/D-14 launch script, which is probably shared with the Nimitz carriers. Might just have to make a Fed Strigon F/D-14 skin as a fun option.
Currently the upgrades do not. I split it into 3 separate files for convenience, but if you're playing Conquest I would personally only use the Mk3 pak. The other two paks are mostly handy to give you an extra challenge in campaign mode at the moment.

By the way does the upgrades change anything?
