Repair Hanger

[hibbie2]

There are rearm pads and gv's can repair with supplies why not have a hanger on the airfield that you can go into and repair it would have to take at least 3 min to reapir a damaged plane or maybe a scale on the amount of damage done to the plane

You would have to enter hanger under power no coasting in  and the hanger could be taken down as normal there would be no option on the cv's as they would ditch damaged AC off the deck in most cases due to limited space to repair

I like that idea!   +1000

it would be great in FSO because if someone gets an engine oil leak towards the beginning of the fight, they won't have to leave the game, just fly back to base go to the repair hanger and then takeoff again

Repair a plane in 3 minutes?!?!?

Aside from doing a search....   

Back on topic....  How long, max, would you be willing to wait to be fully repaired?

Remember, there is a full inventory of brand new planes waiting for you in the hanger....

I keep seeing all these wishes for guys flying FSO that want to repair stuff.

I don't get it, you guys don't see that if you can repair, so can the other side?

The whole idea of a 1 life event is to try to FORCE you into flying more realistically.
If you knew you could repair a shot up plane, half of that goes out the window.

I'm sorry but to me this truly is a "Duh" moment.

You really think that planes that were shot up in WWII went back up again without a "Full" inspection of everything?
I mean every cable, every hydraulic hose, every hinge, all of it would all have to pass muster before that plane would be allowed up again. You can't do that in 15 min.

If you flew an FSO frame, engaged the enemy, took damage, and managed to land, you just won the lottery!

Call it good, park it, and try again next week.

I always thought being able to rearm via the rearm pad (which is OK) AND have those kills counted as the same sortie was very very hoakie.   

I could be wrong but it seems only someone consumed with score would want such an aberration.

Heck, I only use a rearm pad if hangers are down.

Or, for a reductio ad absurdum, why don't we have a medical hanger so you can go and get that Pilot Wound "fixed" in 3 minutes? That way, I could maintain a perpetual sortie and thus get a screenshot to show my squaddies when I finally "land" my kills.

After that, I think I'll go to some site on the internet where I can post an assortment of pics of "Big Jim and the Twins", just to show 'em off...

Or maybe include a cockpit First Aid Kit so I can regen my "life force" like in Doom (for the younger, an OLD computer game that me and some buds used to play on higher-end SGI workstations, later adapted for PC use).

I just hope no one sells all the virtual morphine on the local virtual black market.

Rearm a plane in 30 seconds....?  3 minutes sounds pretty reasonable.  Of course I suppose it would have to depend on the damage.  Plus, only some things should be able to be fixed.  Missing inputs, oil leaks & radiator damage.... Perhaps fuselage damage as well (ie. kill points....  Fix a couple of bullet holes in a wing, etc)

Repair a plane in 3 minutes?!?!?

No.

 A wooden box of vehicle supplies can completely re-arm a tank, replace its tracks, and contains all the needed parts to repair a blown engine AND a smoked turret that has been filled full of holes.  Not to mention it does all this umm... instantly?  And with no need for the crew to exit the tank?  

I dont see how a 3 minute repair time for an aircraft is any less realistic than this is.    Hell, using the time to repair a tank as a reference, you could almost BUILD a new plane in 3 minutes.

Not saying I am sure its a good idea... but we dont need to use "realism" as a reason to disagree with it.

EDIT: Yeah... after looking at it more, there is no reason to repair a plane when you can just reup a new one.  And if the hangars are down, where would you repair it.  I dont recall many crew chiefs servicing aircraft out on the runway while the base is being bombed and the hangars are in flames.  Methinks they would have better things to do... like manning the ack or looking for a fire hose.  But that brings us right back to the "instafix" magic box-o-parts for tanks... oh my!
