landing counted as ditch, why?
« on: February 18, 2004, 10:43:39 AM »
Any reason why I land on the runway and get a ditch counted.  On the current map.

Last night i got a paltry kill on a aircraft only to get a ditched report when i clearly landed on the runway...  

Only problem i could see was that the runway was being shelled by aircraft carrier fleet's guns..

And i could have ended my flight in a crater.. will that have any effect on a succesful landing or a ditch?  weird...


Comments?

Thanks in advance..

Its a bug in the map. Some airstrips give you a ditch when you are clearly on the runway. Dont try to rearm Zekes or you will crash and dont take off from hangars or youll crash.

Noticed in Zekes the "BANG" and lost tailwheel in proximity to certain CVs??

You will also "hang" your wing on the carrier's Island when you auto take off with a KATE.

You have to move to the left a bit and take off manually to get the plane off the deck.
