I know the CV is small platform however you land, refuel, lift hook and roll again.  Pretty quick stuff.

I am just suggesting something similar to airfields.

Strip it is probably true they didn't STORE the ammo and fuel next to parked aircraft but when it came to fueling and arming planes I thought that was always done in the hangers. And about the CV rearming its modeled that way because that how it happened on a carrier. They loaded the bombs on the flight deck.

I've found that augering shortens my re-up time most efficiently.

why not make it so that when you kill a enemy you get a fuel boost.....and ammo boost too! 

Imagine being able to stay up flying all day on a single sortie :O

still think moving the rearm pad to the main pad would solve the problem of getting a bad angle on it and crashing.

Or learning your aircraft controls better.

Ever thought about the possiblity that it's maybe even meant to require some tiny effort? I really mean tiny, because the only way to mess it up is to get really sloppy or lazy. Or just forgetting to use differential wheelbreaking

I don't have a problem getting on the rearm pad, never have. But some people can't get the hang off it. To help out a bit, and not have anything like instant rearms, moving the rearm pad would be the best bet. BUT while typing this i realized one thing that would stop this from happening. HTC would have to change the layout and coding for the airfields then everyone would have to redownload all the maps. Pretty impractical to help save time on rearming.

Jeepers man, ya don't even have to be all the way on the pad, and it still works...

Heck, awhile back, there was a bug, where you didn't even have to stop!!! You
could roll over the rearm spot, and roll back out on the runway, Take off, and
rearm would complete while you were 1000ft in the air... LOL!!!

Its too easy as it is!!!

I just land on the taxiway leading up to 'em.  Jeeze people.  Concrete's concrete.

2 out of 3 times I'd agree... but some JOKER somewhere in TEXAS decided to put THE ONLY TREE in existence within the perimeter of the airfields in this game RIGHT NEXT TO the refueling depot.

Here in Texas we pull over and water those trees. The joker you speak of was looking out for your health when placing the tree where you could use it while your bird was being fueled and rearmed.

Let's get a Duce and a half to pull up beside our airplane with 55 gallon drums and a hand pump and a couple of drunks to pump our fuel.
