You can't taxi onto pavement after you land?

We give you three feet, the next guy wants four feet. After all his four feet is only one foot farther than your three feet. And we gave you a whole three feet so it's only fair the guy gets one more foot so his four feet is good as your three feet. The next one lands another one foot away from the second guy and that's only two feet from you which is well within the three feet we gave you so the guy five feet away gets a pass now also. Another person comes down six feet away from the runway which is three feet away from you which is the same three feet we gave you so this last person justifiably wants three feet just like you got three feet so now your talking about six whole feet off the runway and they are ok. What do you do with the person twelve feet away now? The guy that was at six feet got three feet which we gave to you because you landed three feet away so does the guy twelve feet away get their twelve feet?
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

Toadkill, the thing is you can land a GV successfully near any spawn point (even out in the woods), provided its not damaged and provided theres no enemy about. Thats why you can land at a vehicle base, no neccessarily on the pavement.


If you have to make an emergency landing with a plane at a V-base... well, landed successfully just isnt granted.

If you do a search on these boards, you note that this has been brought up a bazillion times. HT has said there has to be a line drawn someplace, and for the planes its the edge of the runway, and not a  foot off. Thats it ! Live with it, its rule of the game, and there is no bending of the rule. No amount of crying, or complaining is going to change it.

Do yourself a favor, in stead of wasting time posting here, jump in a plane and have some fun in another fight.

nowadays its just about impossible to have fun in a fight. when theres about 80 more rooks than knights, and they're not fighing the bish, your always outnumbered a least 3-1. and the always run, no one will actually fight a darn hurricane. they try to cherry pick and then run. its really turning me off. fly 2 sectors in a hurricane to get either picked constantly, or some rampant lala and thier HO and go. about 7/8 of the dweebs in the game piss me off now because they have dotn care about the fight, they are the kind of people who in real life would bring an assault rifle to a knife fight. all they care about is the kill. they wont ever actually engage someone in a slow plane, thats why they fly thier lghay 7 or noob 16 they can do anything.

and in regaurds to the landing. if you wont make it like the GVs. make the whole airfield itself landable. i still dont understand why you wouldnt. why is landing, something that cant be changed because it would unbalence the game. it wouldnt affect the game to the smallest degree. why would people landing kills actually affect the game? if it affects the game that much, why do we have the system? will it make poeple leave the knights to join the rooks?? i dont think so, only thing i think it can do is make people happy with thier $15 the introduction of the spit 16 had more affect on the game than more poeple landing thier kills because they are in between the runway and the hangers, and they're only there because they hit an invisible object that ripped thier left gear off.

someone please give me a reason that we cant land, not a because "i said so". that is not a valid reason, unless the point of custonmer support is to get them to leave as soon as possible, and last time i checked its not.

why move this post too, everyone knows that the wishlist is a place that only gets eye sight from the flamers and trollers. ive never seen any ht staff post here

Well gv's cant land just anywhere. Put 1 ping on a gv and he hits tower and not on cement... ditch and pinger gets kill.  And yes even on an airfield.

I suppose you want the 500mph ditch back also don't ya.

I think the whole having to be on pavement for aircraft and gv's to land sucessful is flawed...HTC has said a line has to be drawn...Im pretty sure that line was made up for fields under attack, and the crazy idea of players crash landing their plane anywhere on the field and getting sucessful landings and "robbing" the enemy of his kill....But is it that crazy?  IMO what is crazy is that we have this crazy line to begin with...In RL pilot's landing at fields with and without cement runways landed off pavement all the time due to various reasons...The way I see it, even if they landed on "the runway" sucessfully while the base was under attack, they still had to run from their plane to barracks, a hardened bunker or in our case "the tower" before flight was truely over...Maybe we should make it that after landing, to get a sucessful landing, a pilot has to run with his pitol pointed forward and make it to tower without being killed????????

Drawing the line is a bunch of crap...Did all those B-17's, and P-47's that landed off pavement get "ditches"???

Why not have it like this:

-Get 100% of perks if you are able to land full wheels down
-50% of perks if land with gear up
-25% of perks if not landed on pavement, but on the actual airfield tile
-0% of perks if land on airfield tile gear up

All the above will still "put your name in the lights" if you have two or more kills.

I think I remember HT posting that he liked the whole challenge of landing that wounded bird/pilot/missing pieces and everything else on the runway...  That it gave him a sense of accomplishment.

I have to agree.  If you could just land anywhere on the field, it really wouldn't make deadsticks and quick emergency landings as much fun.

Don't worry, the game's not going anywhere - plenty of chances to see your names in lights ;)
