In AH1, the rearming pad, was way more accesible, along the runway eassy to taxi, without crashing,

we need better re-arm pad

Rearm pad is retarded it is meant for landing on the narrow strip not very nice to people who land on main taxi way... because that stoopid fueltank is infront of your face than when you rearm you gota go a complete circle around the pad to line up on rw its very annoying much better if they had it cv style at end of runway plenty of safety space from buildings

who says you cant use the runway then taxi to the re arm pad i know thats what i do i land on the runway and cut across the grass so i pointing right towards the runway for when the re arm is complete

Use external view when on the runway (you can use that view in any plane while on the ground) to maneuver into rearm pad. Look down from above the plane, instead of from behind. Take your time, use diff brakes, rudder/nose wheel, and throttle. Have your entry and exist path planned as you approach.

I've rearmed B-17's and Ki-67's at pad many times. It's easy. You get drones back when you take off again. I land on the runway, and take off from the runway..... only use taxi way or grass to lift when in a fighter and scrambling to get back up fast.

How do you do that? I tried this two or three times, but once landed my drones just stay on the ground. Noticed that with (on? at? by? me fail english again) other players too.

I come and land about mid-field. Gera down at last minute to keep drones close. Taxi down to the rearm pad. Rearm. Go out the way I came in. I think it works so long as you don't pass beyond the range where the drones normally go pop.

Been a while since I've done it, haven't been flying buffs for a while, but I've done it from a field where ord was out in order to sink an enemy CV on at least two occasions.

U can to rearm in a 163, besides ur gear only comes off if you use auto take off

Hm, I just tried it two times offline, but it didn't work yet. Had no problems landing & rearming, but regardless which way I was taking off again, my drones just kept sitting there.

I have never had a problem re arm lancs or 26 or 17's Use the F3 then F8 view keys as soon as u land. Gives u a birds eye view. I always cut across grass and come in the back way..... You dont have to be all the way on just most of the way

You can really move your score if you only up one ...and keep rearm'in ...formations dont allways re up. the advantge to formation is if u get killed you can spawn to plane on the ground and just take back off. Till some vulch tard see them then the fun is over.

Begining of tour upped one lanc and re armed took my "B"score to two digits.

Salute ,have fun.
P.S only makes real $.00 if u score hoin or if ord is down.

Well, if/when I get my game rig back up (liquid cooling developed a short, preventing POST, and I think it finally took the processor with it) I'll try to do a reup with drones and film it.
