Reload pad thoughts
« on: January 14, 2007, 06:44:30 PM »
a million times probably it has been brought up to "repair" damaged planes on some type of repair pad.....


something I thought of the other night is similar but not exactly.

when you land to reload, you generally don;t have a damaged plane (as why not take up a fresh plane), but maybe you took a bullet or 2 in the wing.

no "official" damaged parts, but maybe 1 more bullet hit makes the damage count to that part of breakage.


what if while re-loading any previous bullet hits are repaired? again I am NOT talking about an actual damaged part, just taking care of bullet holes and the like?


I may be mistaken, but it takes a certian "ammount" of damage to lets say an aileron before it officially fails. let's say you have taken 30% of that damage amount to that part, and re-loading brings that back down to 0% is all.

why not have designated hangars offset from the FH that you have to Taxi to and depending on the damage your plane will repair itself, say Severly crippled plane, 3-4 Mins of Repairs for a Lightly Damaged Plane maybe 30-60 Secs. Would add a twist for them peeps that dont wanna lose them uber kills but only wanna get more :lol

it has already been stated they will never do a repair hangar or pad.

this is a bit different from that.

Not sure if that's how the damage model works but it sounds like a good idea if it is.  Just minor damage repair.

How about they dont replace anything but stop any fuel and radiator leaks. so that you can take offf again if you so whish...

and perhaps when yopu land kills it could say

PilotX landed 3 kills with Major Damage

I am sorry, I must have misread. Yes, I'm all for that

I don't like the idea. Any damage that has some kind of effect on aircraft performance or endurance is not repairable by a "patch".

If the bullet holes really disturbs you then ok, repair them, but that is only a graphical remedy. (BTW, even a patch was not that quickly applied to an a/c.)

It should not revive that particular part's durability because the damage in the structures are not easily or quickly repairable by any kind of patch. That goes with radiators, oil reservoirs, ailerons, elevators etc. etc.

-C+

PS. What I would like to see is different stages of smoke effects. Why does a punctured fuel tank leave a trail if it is empty?

If the oil reservoir gets empty why does the smoke trail stay the same if the leaked oil has not caught fire?

Etc.
