That is the way it was done in WWII. The Japanese Imperial launched 350 aircraft in two waves with straight deck carriers.

Jets are larger and faster so the angled deck provided a better margin of safety for parked vehicles in the post-war years.

If you have enough space and can control your recovering aircraft a precise enough manner, then this is an already proven method.

I am "facinated" that a guy who isn't able to read and write English is so delusional to the myth of the America.

BTW, he may not be Chinese at all but marked his profile as from China. We have seen many examples (in this forum) of somebody pretending from some places just to stir up controverses and hatrade. The reason that I suspect it is that all three popular Chinese web translators used "scale" instead of "grade" when translating "美国级" and “西北风级”, that made me think that he is NOT translating from Chinese or not using a Chinese machine translator.
On a Chinese translation app, I get "Mistral" if typed in Simplified Chinese and "Northwest Wind Scale" if typed in Traditional Chinese. Taiwan still uses Traditional Chinese, then may be Malaysia and Singapore.

Or Macau and Hongkong.

Schools and Chinese news media in Malaysia and Singapore adpoted simplified Chinese way back to 1980s. Students who went to Taiwan for university studies may use traditional Chinese, against the local trends.

For as long as I can remember, every time China makes an engineering accomplishment for example:
2003 - Shenzhou 5 mission.........First Chinese man in space
2008 - Beijing to Tianjin line........China's first HSR rail line
2011 - J-20 stealth jet fighter.......First flight

There was no shortage of "snide remarks" coming from Western media sources stating China:
a) copy
b) borrow
c) stole
the technology, or is simply replicating the West's previous engineering accomplishments.

I think the most unique aspect of the Type 076 warship is not its EM catapult or the fact it's the largest amphibious ship.....I haven't heard any "snide remarks" coming from Western media sources. It's as if all the hecklers in the room have decided to be quiet and sit down. Folks I think we've entered an inflection point between Chinese and Western relations.

It is literally because no one else has an EM cat on an amphibious dock. No one.

Just to confirm, the 076 does have arresting gear, right? If that is so, and coupled with the EMALS, that would be an elegant way of bypassing building a VTOL fighter, since at least the J-35 should be able to operate off it (in addition to the various UCAV/CCAs) ? This way the 076 would oppose head-on (in terms of capability i mean) the american LHAs with their F-35Bs. And while having the J-50 operate off it as theorized some pages back would be a bit premature for now, a future 076A variant (let's call it that) might as well be able to do that too.

I think there has been a bit of shock and awe in the last quarter with the dual carrier performance, zhuhai airshow, and mao bday surprises. From my social media obeservation, only the bottom feeders are still harping on "copying"

I think Americans/westerners are finally realizing that China finally catching up enough that they can actually innovate and come up with radical new designs is actually a bad thing for them. In another decade, Americans will wish to go back to the days where they could claim that China copied everything from them. We already saw that with the Russians, not happy that China copied so much of their aerospace tech back in the 90s/00s, but even more unhappy when Chinese aerospace completely surpassed them.
