OMG!I cant get my point across can i get sum backup plz?  

Using proper grammar and correct spelling allows one to get their point across without difficulty ... which is something that your posts lack.

Case in point ... "if you seed no well thay do in the game." ... wtf is that ?

+1 for this idea ... I mean really, I have had a whole weekend ruined because I got a ditch instead of successful landing ... :rolleyes:

HiTech has said no to this many times in the past.  It is a reward for landing on the runway and it will not be extended to near the runway.
Agreed.

In the real world, any flight in which you survive was countable. Regardless of how and where the plane came down (and in how many pieces, SAPP I'm looking at you guys...).

This is a game. There is no penalty for losing. That said, there should (nay MUST) be a challenge for the rewards. There has to be a line drawn somewhere, and HTC point blank said he drew that line as "being on the runway".

Nothing stops you from reupping a fresh plane if you end on the grass, FYI.

Ok well let me narrow this down just a bit I understand this a no go. But then why is there a "wishlist", anyway topic for another discussion: Here it is, no you shouldn't get the kill messages across channel if your not on concrete...agreed. I just dont think it should count as a Ditch sitting in the middle of your own airfield. That's it that was all I was referring to. No repairs, no supps, Just a Landed Successfully message that's it......oh and to me the reward is the perks not the message across text :D yea that's nice but I could give a crap less bout that. I just like flying and shooting lots and lots of shooting and usually not that much hitting :aok

Vudu, I will give you the same answer I gave you in another thread.  You are just looking to make the game "easier" for you (which is why you've got the full support of kingcobrakid and dued).

This is a game. There is no penalty for losing. That said, there should (nay MUST) be a challenge for the rewards. There has to be a line drawn somewhere, and HTC point blank said he drew that line as "being on the runway".

It's kinda amusing to see Krusty being right from time to time nowadays.. now I understand what it feels like for fathers to see their sons starting to become "men"..

 *sniff* :cry

..but anyways, he's right. If you've failed to coax your plane down where it needs to be, then by all means, you've failed. Otherwise the runway becomes nothing but a piece of asesthetic crap which people have no reason to use.

If one indeed wants to land the plane somewhere other than the runway and still get a landing, perhaps HT can compensate by making things adequately "realistic" in terms of landing planes other than it's supposed to land. Yes, we all know how 'easy' it is to land planes other than the tarmac..*snicker*

Funny how that realism thing only comes up when someones dieing to much, or some other pitiful thing like that. If I wanted it to be easier Id ask that you could land kills just like tanks anywhere so long as there were no enmys near you......Which I dont want. Or an aimbot that would be handy, and man would it make getting kills easy(would never use one defeats the perpose of the game) oh and while were at it unlimited fuel ammo and ords.... <<<<<<would that be making the game "easier" for me? Anyhow fully understood you guys run the game I forgot yall have the final answers, so in closing to ditch an a/c means some one like me (aircraft crewchief/mechanic) has to go get the darn thing, and its located some distance away. While if it made it back to the airfield regardless if it was on concrete or in the grass still would have made it to home station..........and should not be a ditch, that's it.     :airplane:

I don't think there is an airfield anywhere that counts going off the runway as a normal landing.

It's not a case of making it easy - just less weird. Maybe if you land on the runway you get your full perks - damaged or not. But if you miss the runway and manage the field you lose most of your perks but at least still get your recognition. After all, you did make it back.
If you're undamaged and miss the runway you should lose perks regardless.
Non-battle induced damaged should be paid for.
