Mid Sortie Dot Commands for Fuel/Weapon Loadouts

[Traveler]

There are actually a couple people who support the idea of changing load-outs when you reload, do a search for it.

You can also scroll up...

I like the idea,   I also would want the ability to destroy the re-arm pad,  I think we used to be able to do that.

yeah its not just for score horing to have the ability to change armament on rearm pad, although i still dont see how it would be. I think the people who would enjoy it the most would be bomber pilots. Being able to switch to a different set of bombs on the rearm pad after you land at a base that has just been levelled and taken. You could continue your terror in a single bomber. Or a fighter for instance. you could rearm with a lower quantity of fuel and no ords to defend said base after a mission.

i can see how the dot e6b command would be pointless to some peoplem but than again there are alot of pointless commands. for example the dot score, dot fly #(for spawn points and rwys), and dot plane commands. you can easily reach each of these things within a click or so.

I don't think bombers can rearm.  Can they even taxi onto the rearm pad?

No

Your lead bomber can rearm, but your drones will continue sitting on the runway and will not follow you back up.

[Jonah]

u obviously didnt read my whole message... i said once the base was captured then u can rearm

there's a dot command for score? 

[Krusty]

Yes. Every time you type it, it adds 1 point to your score. It's a known bug. You do it 200 times in a row and you'll see your rank increase the next day.

You have to type "score",without dot, 200 times in a row on channel 200

Woot! I'll make it to the top 1000 yet!

As far as the E6B command goes, I use my cursor alot as my pipper and it is annoying as hell to set up perfectly. When I have to, in mid flight, press H click E6B, do quick math, close E6B, close map, reposition cursor, a dot command sounds mighty fine.



The rearm reload idea I also like. lets face it, in real life, you land and say to the mechanic "Yo, gimme half a tank, gotta go CAP this field for ______" or what ever the case may be. For us 109 dweebs this is crucial cuz we might have brought 100 and only want 50 now. I like the idea.


For LUTE: Not sure what score has to do with rearming. I score potato like a mad man and don't rearm because of score. If anything rearming hurts your Kills/Time after all it IS quicker to tower than rearm. $.02

Perdweeb just leave the E6b open on the clipboard before you close the clipboard, then you only need to use one key to see it.

[Jonah]

E6b eventually closes. It doesnt just stay up on your clipboard forever once you open it. Its not like im asking to perk certain planes or any of the other crazy, unrealistic requests people have on here, just a small feature that would beneift those who choose to use it.

Heres another benefit:

say you do a gv raid on an airbase and you came there with all HE rounds, but you hear over range a counter GV raid is coming in. you cant tower out and grab a new tank because the VH is down. Well luckily hitech made a new feature to change your loadout mid sortie. you drive to the rearm pad and bring aboard some AP rounds. now you can defend the new base your team just aquired.

perhaps if there were fighters that came to the base take light, maybe if the ords were still up they could just load them on, assuming their plane is capable of carrying ords. with these ords they could also defend. this is of course assuming FH;s were destroyed too.
