The only thing I have ever seen used is "WEP". However if you want to make realistic carrier takeoffs with a fully loaded Jet or Skyraider simply put the required amount of wind down the deck of the carrier and it works very nicely. You can restrict the wind to the immediate area of the carrier so that it does not affect the rest of the mission.

With 35kts down the deck you can take a fully loaded Skyraider or Panther off a carrier with no problem. Makes for a more realistic mission.
