Additionally, shipborne early warning aircraft like the "Zhi-6C" can also take off using the jump deck.
The Imperial Navy ultimately chose the catapult, not because the jump deck couldn't launch heavy ship-borne aircraft, but because there were many restrictions on deck operations.
For one, on carriers using the jump deck, ship-borne aircraft cannot be parked in the forward takeoff zone. This means that after launching ship-borne aircraft in a full-deck state and completing the attack, during the recovery phase, the number of returning ship-borne aircraft that can be received is approximately ten fewer than on carriers using a catapult with the same deck area. Conversely, this also limits the number of ship-borne aircraft that can be launched in a full-deck state.
In fact, there are many other inconveniences.
