I don't understand how a 20,000 pound tiger can be flipped on it's back, turret shot out, both tracks destroyed and surrounded by countless enemy tanks and planes, can repair itself by the simple click of "load supplies"? Yet, an airplane with say an aileron shot off, can land at a friendly field that isn't under attack, an d the pilot has no hope if getting this minor repair fixed. I know you have said "no" to repair pads for airplanes in the past. fine....Would it be possible to have aircraft supplies? Use it the same way we use GV supplies?

Leave the point and click gv'ers to their gamey stuff. No place for that stuff in the air to air part of the game.

I have said before: Damaged aircraft should be able to repair same as they do rearm.

Nah, real pilot repair his plane in air, if needed. *click*

I would have to disagree vehemently with this proposal. An aircraft "repair kit" as described is little more than a cleverly concealed "full-health" powerup. (So is a GV repair kit, but I digress).

Powerups are fine if I'm playing Halo. If I'm flying an air to air combat sim, no thanks.

Ghastly I was being extremely sarcastic. Read above about the tiger tank flipped over and how it can magically be repaired with a click of the mouse. We should either get rid of GV repairs, or add a repair pad to airplanes.,

I have always griped about that... But I rarely did the GV thing so it wasnt a BIGGIE... seems awful arcadish.

I honestly don't know why this couldn't happen (yes, I know this thread started out as sarcasm) as long as the time you had to sit on the "repair pad" reflected the damage you carried - say 1 minute per item.

I also feel that - as I eluded to - the repair pad should be separate from the re-arm pad.

I think they should just do away with the repairs on GVs with the supplies, that way it would be the same for both again

Supplies should be ammo only. Jeeps should be able to roll themselves back over on their wheels; everything else should just die.

Also, GVs should burn gas, and they should also catch fire. Then, the wittle guys should be able to bail out, but they should also catch on fire sometimes when they try. Then, I want to be able to shoot them in the legs, and let them roast, without them being able to do that gamey towering out thing before they're good and dead. WTF, is this Barbie's Horse Adventure?

Scores are silly.

The point is that a plane has a chance of returning to base with damage in a couple minutes. Generally, a GV in need of supplies is immobile. If not, it has to make a defenseless run for fifteen minutes to an hour (remember, you can't "land" at a spawn point in hostile territory with damage. Hostile means enemy nearby.) under threat of other GVs and generally aircraft, whereas a plane generally has a five to ten minute run while usually only threatened by other aircraft.
