Death Penalty

[Ack-Ack]

simple enough,

Ho =15 seconds until next avaible time to re-up
crash = 10 seconds
ditch or bail = 5 seconds
bail successfuly = 3 seconds
captured = 8 seconds
landed successful = 0 seconds
Shot down = 13 seconds
(just an example)

we need the importance of living in the game to be more important so you dont have stuff like lancs 2k taking out the CV careless about his life, or Hoers, etc etc

Yeah, let's promote even more timid flying.

I like this idea.  A lot.

However,... I think there should only be a penelty for the HO, and not the others.  All of the other "downers" are a natural part of this game, while the HO is well... grrrrrr. 

I'm not sure how this would be coded though.  Dmg is dmg to the server, and a collision isnt always a HO.  I've had more than once an enemy plane run up my tailpipe while trying to get him to fly past me (likewise, I've done it to others).

Said it before, I will say it again..  If you died in a HO, then you didn't do your job as a skilled pilot.  It wouldn't be a HO, if YOUR plane wasn't pointed at the nme. 

Yup, I said it..

If there was a way to control the "bomb and bail" tards I am all for it.  Last might in LWB, a bunch of lancs and 24's bombed the nit city, and almost as soon as the bombs hit, all of them disappeared.  I watched 2 sets bail right before my eyes at the first sign of resistance. 

To me that's the most gamey aspect of the game.  It just cracks me up..

Who would be remaining in the game to fly for the rest of the hour?  There would only be a handful of pilots remaining.

Exactly my thoughts on the issue. This simply can't be done, and shouldn't. If it were implemented half the customers would be disappointed because they can't spend their $15 based on their idea of fun.

How about we make it an hour for the specific arena?? Would allow all interested to fly in "insta-death" mode, would populate all arenas and at the same lower these occurrences per arena for a while.

Five deaths times five arenas = 25 deaths an hour. You really need to be in love with the inside of the tower to keep flying like that....

There is a penalty for HO.  If you let somebody HO you... you die.   If you go for angles in the HO you win.

The only thing that I could back that would result in a delayed respawn would be collisions. That is poor flying and would definitely get a pilot grounded. I've done it myself enough times to know that I deserved a minute or two to think about what just happened.

Then during a base assault, they ask jeeps to ram spawning planes at the end of runways. Afterward you get a two minute time-out watching your base get captured.


No, don't think that will work out so well.

My God, you thought that up right off?

You're the Devil aren't you?
