Sorry Golly, but there is no way that a carrier that small could take 42 aircraft, 24 maybe, that would be a maximum. There is just not enough hangar space.

It is actually smaller than the UK/US CVE's that carried 18-24.

That what I've wondered myself also but all the sources states that it (the OTL Komsomolets conversion) was to carry 42 aircrafts. Remember that there is two-storey hangar. Also in this AU scenario, as the size of the aircraft increased, so did the number of aircrafts embarked decreased.

Great looking carrier, but in your description you that the funnel and superstructure were on the starboard side, but the overhead view shows it to be on the port side.
Also the placing of the lifts so close together will weaken the deck considerably, as the two can be considered to be just one big hole in the deck. May I suggest you move them apart slightly, say about 20 or 30 pixels

Damn, I always keep mixing up starboard and port sides :oops:

As for the lifts, they are as descriped in the original references. I belive its actually a one big elevator that can handle one bigger and one smaller aircraft. In this AU, the RKKF soon discovered its apparent shortcommings and in the follow-on carriers the lifts were of different design. Komsomolets will have remodelled lifts during its refit/modernisation in 1940-41.
