Supplies for Planes
« on: December 13, 2007, 11:59:18 PM »
Just thinking out loud....  With GV's - your engine, tracks/tires, guns get taken out from enemy fire but you don't die.  Your buddy drops a box of supplies and your back in the fight.  Could we do something with airplanes?  Example: Your out of ammo, hit the re-arm pad - wait 30 seconds, your back in the fight with a full load of ammo & fuel.  What about damage to your plane?  Could we add a feature that restores all damage while re-arming?  We have it for GV's, why not planes?  Of course SA is key to staying alive, but we all have moments of weakness and someone gets a good spray out, and their goes the oil.  Anyways...just thinking out loud.  Sorry if this request has been submitted before.  :aok

I think they should set it up that when the GVers pickup and use the supplies that they would have to wait an additional 2-3 minutes to simulate the repairs.

The 30 seconds on the rearm pad simulates the refueling, a repair to a damaged plane would have to be much longer. Most people wouldn't want to set on the pad for 5-10 minutes while there plane is repaired.

After all, your already at the field, and planes are free!  oh ya, there's that "scoring" thing that so many worry about :D

It would never be all damage. If we ever got this feature it would only be parts like elevators, rudders and that. I for one would not want to wait 5 mins just to get repaired.

This isn't quite the same but...I wouldn't mind an off field M3 refuel/rearm function.  I have fallen short of the runway many-a-time out of gas with lots of kills with no damage whatsoever.  I'm not for the quick damage repair option, but the refuel/rearm out in the field is not that unrealistic.
