No PR map has yet used the aircraft carrier from Iron Gator. It has plenty of interior sections in contrast to the carrier we see on maps like Muttrah city. Would I be allowed to use this asset or is this forbidden? This would not be used as a spawn point but as a flag

I've seen an unofficial map use it as a carrier wreck, coupled with (unrealistic) F\A-18 statics.

Its not "off-limits" to use but there is very little point in using it, at least for a normal flag, since its just a much higher poly and requires far larger lightmaps to cover all of its interior, which simply isn't worth it...

As for using it "as a flag", I can't see any realistic scenario where a modern conventional or insurgent/guerrilla ground force would "board" and fight on a carrier / assault ship, or any kinda warship for that matter... As such, it would be very unlikely to become an official PR Map.

ah ye, good old EA/DICE research for you, "its a carrier right? should put CATOBAR planes on it"

Ok, thanks for that Rhino. I'll guess I'll give it a miss for now!

Maybe a 'disabled' or beached carrier would make for an interesting flag

Actually that "Adak" map that rusty_42 made had a carrier sinking in port, maybe he might want to use it?

You can just see it in the far right of this picture.

I think its about time this was given another thought.

After returning to PR after a couple of years out, I'm back up to speed with all the playable maps.

I think a little more diversity is required, something that challenges the usual map dynamic and offers a set piece item like the carrier interior as a place to fight over.

Could be as simple as adding to an existing map like Pavlosk Bay docked at the port as a flag or two, or on a smaller infantry type map like the original Iron Gator it was found on from Special Forces.

Very good idea, would be cool to have CQB inside a carrier, which could be docked like Rico said!

Or fix up Siege at Ochamachira, throw it on that and wham bam thank you ma'am.
