Because often I'm not thinking about hotpadding until I'm already down.

Have you considered thinking more?

I've considered it, but if this game required thought we wouldn't have the la7 or spit16

Just land closer to the end of the runway, like moot said, I land on th grass then taxi on, or land 1/2 way onto the runway and I have a short taxi. I always rearm when I land, this way I can think twice if I want to land, or take back off.

Many times you haev a 30-degree slope at the end of the runway tile, and you cannot land early or land too late for fear of crashing into it.

In a perfect terrain that's easier, but a lot of fields are far from perfect. Sometimes you don't have the luxury of stopping at the end of the runway just as you pass it, and sometimes you don't want to go in "too hot" depending on the plane you're flying or the unfriendly terrain aroud the runway tile.

Oh, and let's not forget those damned trees that like to watch all the planes come and go, right at the ends of major runways.

Land more carefully?

You don't need to land at the beginning of a runway.. you can also land at the end. No trees or hills can bother you then.

Last time I stopped on a rearm pad the crew wasn't kind enough to give me a bucket of engine oil, a few nuts & bolts, or a new turret.

I would like to see a middle re-arm pad added to fields also.
Any chance of finding a way to get the bomber drones to follow for a second take off after a re-arm also.

If you're hell bent on realism, the taxing shouldn't be a big deal. If you're just trying to rack up multikill sorties, you should be competent enough to taxi your plane in a straight line. If you can't manage either one of these, try Hello Kitty's Island Adventure - you might find that more your speed.

Pssst, Lusche ... that was a small attempt at humor. Allow me to explain ...

I stated that the link didnt work to indicate that I had tried clicking on the Hello Kitty's Island Adventure and had failed to be taken to the aforementioned game, which I'm sure is lots and lots of fun.

Its ok though, we all have our off days.
