In the meantime, I would like to you drop by this thread and share your opinion about their potential upgrades. Strictly speaking, they don't. What jets/heavy aircrafts really need is a multi-layered flight deck (for better structure strength) with heat-resistant surface finish. In the game, however, the devs chose to simply define that this equals to an armored flight deck. Takeoff speed requirements are solved by the catapult, therefore in KC the criteria to launch jet aircrafts is "armored flight deck + catapult".
