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.

Ya see, for me it's not landing, taxiing,or getting on/off re-arm pad. The problems start once I hit the throttle for takeoff. I wouldn't mind being able to reset the auto-takeoff. (always rip the wings off)   :x

If you don't have a rudder just engage auto-level. Just be sure to disengage it shortly afterward. Once you get some speed up it will crash. By then you you should be able to control the aircraft tho.

If you go on compatibility the only thing that would be available at a V-Base would be .303 and .50 caliber rounds. The fuel used by aircraft is far greater quality than that supplied to the vehicles. No reason for the V-Base to have A2G or A2A rockets, torpedoes or bombs either. The 37mm rounds in some planes I think are incompatible with the 37mm AA rounds. The Wirble might use the same 20mm ammunition as some of the German aircraft.

Otherwise your not going to find anything already there that justifies the legitimacy (or logic) of having a aircraft rearm pad at a V-Base. I do think a ground vehicle rearm pad is not a bad idea tho.

You are all joking, right?  Or is the retarded thread of the day!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I am assuming that everyone posting here can reasonably take off, land, merge, shoot, maneuver, bomb, and maybe fly in formation, and you can't taxi on and off the rearm pad?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Line up with the runway, hold the stick all the way back till you get some speed (locks the tail wheel which helps you go straight) then ease it forward and takeoff and climb like normal.

I'm sure pilots in WWII would have loved driving to the end of the runway and re-fueling and re-arming in 30 seconds.  I'd say we've got it pretty good as is.

Go back to what grandma used to say is if you have nothing nice to say; don't say it at all.  :uhoh
Since when discussing different ideas retarded?  Or are you so miserably unoriginal and boring that you have to laugh at others to get off?  Go home little man.

  Lets get rid of the rearm pad totally. You want realism make it so you have to taxi back into or near the Hanger to reload. OOps I forgot this a game not a simulation sorry Hitech.  :uhoh

yeah, or showing a bit of patience and actually taxiing around the thing.
