Can the wheel brakes be affected if engine dead when landing. Lastnight I was in a F4U-C and I got all shot up (oil, 2 guns out, 1 wing clipped and both flaps gone). When I landed at the beginning of the runway I began to apply brakes (speed was about 190 when wheels touched), It wasn't slowing down. I then applied brakes fully and it started to slow down but I was still rolling to fast to stop by end of runway. What I had to do is pull up and put wheels up then belly land it and I just barely stopped by the rearm pad but still on runway. I just wondering if there is brake damage on planes but not listed in damage report. This is not the first time this has happened to me and not in same plane either. It has happened in other planes as well.

How does a ditch affect score and stats verses a succesful landing? Does a ditch count against you in K/D?

As long as the landing doesnt kill you or total the plane it should count.

Land damaged 262's etc. at V bases or ports. They do not have the runway requirement.

No, ditches don't count as a death. Bails count as a death, as do captures. Disco's count as a half a death.

And yes Batfink, that was me.

But a ditch will cost you half yer points if you're in a perk ride... royal pain when you deadstick in to a field and overrun the runway by a foot.

right, and we all know the rules in this "game". If you can't manage, for whatever reason, to stop on the runway you deserve the ditch.

They certianly wouldnt be at optimal operation when the hydraulic pumps are no longer drawing fresh power from the generator that is driven by the engine.

So in WWII when a Pilot didnt land his broken shot up plane on the RR he had to sleep outside that night and not in the BLQ ?

Regardless he still made it to his home base and if he had kills he was awarded them and his plane either fixed or he was given a reserve.

I cant count the times ive landed on a wing and a prayer with kills pilot wounded oil everywhere , half a wing , no gear , canopy stuck and smoke everywhere and get half way off the RR and land and see you have ditched.

Its the fact that you as a person who has had one hell of a fight and sustained so much damage that you want to be recognised as one who made it home and lived to see your name with x and x amount of kills , and to feel proud of yourself for landing that monster at base

If you land within the airfield perimeter you should be considered to have landed successfully. If you put it down on water you have ditched. If you land on dry land but outside base you have made a forced landing and if you land wheels up outside the base and crack up your plane you have crash landed.

The current system is a load of rubbish. Its a nonsense.

Please listen HTC
