option to put fires out

[RAIDER14]

I't might be cool if we could put out fires at airfields like if a hanger or ammo bunker were on fire or if someone  was coming in for landing and there plane was on fire you could go drive out to the runway and hose em down so they wouldn't lose there kills or perks or if some 1 was retireing from aces high give em the water salute:aok

When someone actually menaged to land a burning plane properly at the runway (very rare IMO), he'll immediately hit tower, instead of waiting for a fire truck.

And, what's the advantage of putting out fires from burning hangars? They're already destroyed

[RAIDER14]

sometimes fires make people's fps take a nose dive

[frank3]

I doubt anyone would want to spend time on putting out fires....for other's fps!

[SuperDud]

I would

[viper215]

yea you would have to make each fire worth perk points like .50 perks or a perk for each fire put out. and if someone is on fire they would tower out right away

On the subject of fire, it'd be useful if, when you're plane is on fire in the air, you could pull a fire handle (if an engine's on fire) and if that doesn't work you could try diving to put out the flames with all the attendant risks of losing your wings and other useful parts of the aircraft, of course.

[ThunderEGG]

Also on the subject of fire, I still find it interesting in this game how you can see the fire first from several K up and miles out. Then you see smoke as you get closer.

Already suggested this, didn't get any replies though

When you engage the fire extinghuisher, your flaming engine should destroyed though (but you'll save your wing and other essential control surfaces)


I've given the idea of having fire-trucks a second thought, and I changed my mind, I do find it a good idea
Enemy fires should be able to be extinghuised too (so you can limit damage to a field which is soon to be captured)

theres a fire cord to put out airplane fires in this game?

[RAIDER14]

couldn't u dive down and fly right above the water and the spray from the ocean could put the the fire out or make it non life threatening:aok

He said put out fires, not dance naked around them.

Yes, press Enter 3 times.

Actually instead of hangars ther should be parked groups of aircraft destroyed and to be destroyed.

After all it didnt matter if the hangars were destroyed. it mattered if the aircraft at the airfeild were destroyed.

[frank3]

Yeah but then again, an aircraft is destroyed much easier than a hangar, and the field would be taken out in a couple of passes
