Landing on fields
« on: December 29, 2010, 12:29:00 PM »
Why is it if your an inch off the runway you still get a ditch message? How come it can't be like the WW1 setup? I'm pretty sure if you were an inch off the runway in real life, it would still count as a "successful landing". I'm just wondering why is it in WW1 arena, you can land anywhere on the base, but not in WW2 MA bases, you have to be straight on the runway or some sort of concrete. It should pretty much be if your just off the runway or on the field at least, you should still get landing successful message.

I agree..  If we're on the field we should get to land it...  I have literally skidded right up to the runway with 5 kills and got shafted.

Been asked for time and time again.  The answer has always been (as it should be) that you have to draw the line somewhere.  That line has been drawn as "on concrete".

Then why is it for gvs they can be at an enemy spawn, be far from the base, and still land there kills without being on base or concrete? :headscratch:

This goes back to the old "risk vs reward" argument for me. Like guys wanting free perk planes or perk refunds.

In this "game" there is nothing tangible to gamble on. Except for the loss of a perk plane or missing the runway.

I get enjoyment out of trying to bring a busted up aircraft to a safe landing on some GV bases' twisty, turny concrete area. Sometimes I make it, sometimes not.

If we could just crash bomb anywhere within the perimeter of a field, things would get dull.

I know the anguish of losing kills to a few inches of grass, but it soon passes and I up a new plane.

Because GV's are not airplanes.

With the way you n00bs keep crying about how you want this and want that  :cry. It will be shortly if you kids had your way.
If you want easy mode games. Go play them.
Learn to land your plane right and you wont have this issue.

But why can they land successful when most are at enemy spawn? I doesn't make sense why gvs don't have to be near base, and they land perfectly, but planes have to be right on the runway.

In some situations, it's not that easy to land perfectly, especially if you have half a wing, even no ailerons and only control of rudder.

Yea...and if have half a wing on landing and you don't make it on the runway, that should still count as a landing.

dont use landing gear, that way if you survive, it will count as a sucessful landing.
