recovery time for shot down plane
« on: May 16, 2004, 04:15:01 PM »
I think we need a recovery time for kills/splashes. In simple terms when a guy get's shot down he either waits, let's say 2 to 5 minutes before he can up from the same field, or he goes to another field and up's. I shot down the same guy 4 times on one mission within 2 min! Realistically this could not happen. I am talking a bout pilot's not gv's here so let's not confuse the 2.
A pilot could not get back to a field and instantly up in real life but in the game he can, which is no fair to the pilot who has done his best to kill this individual then has to face him again. We have limited ammo so eventually the guy is going to get a kill unless u run for home after you kill him the first time, which when you are in a bomber is pointless as you are on a pre-set mission.
Sure guys are thinking well you kill him 4 times and he kills you 1 time so you get more perks. Not true if you are in a bomber, if you get killed without dropping he will actually make more perks for his kills than you will, even if you kill him 4 times, he is making more perk points off of the final kill than you will all around.

I see how you got your handle.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

How about a 2-5 minute wait before someone can use the radio instead? :D

you people are all mad to have even read this one....er....ok. damn it.

Ric buddy, how is it realistic that the killed pilot even comes back atall. i mean, you did kill him right? so if we are talking realism, you should only get one life for your $14.50 and see who is left alive at the end.

the future of warfare could be made virtual so no more people had to die and the world slowly became so over crowded that we had to eat each other in a 'darwinesque' flesheating super frenzyt of death, and pain, with the nives and the blood and the murderous red eyes and the....and ....the....the.....er....hmmm .
