isnt it the same deal with tanks? you cant just slap on a new turret and have it working right...???

I'm sure there was some maintenance testing to make sure the equipment was working correctly but for the most part, repairs were done as quickly as possible to get the tanks back on on the field.

Also take note that aircraft have a decent amount of "downtime" where they're out of the fight, either returning to the fight or their base. In most cases, GV fights are instant encounters that are much more difficult to escape from when damaged.

FSO is why i think planes should be able to be fixed a little. i dont think the pilot would mind waiting a little so he could get back with his friends.  whats better logging off or waiting?
