Actually, no. We've had discussions around this before. An aircraft being carrier-based or not doesn't make any difference except for the landing minigame. A list of aircraft that trigger a carrier landing would work better on the Minigames page.

We even used to have a category for carrier-based aircraft. Even though it really makes absolutely no difference to anything.
