For those young gun-ho yank pilots sure, but maybe a little Schultz clip for the irons drivers, and something with a little more bravado for the Russian and Italian drivers?   :D  :aok  Maybe something different for those that prefer to let the swabies touch their aircraft?  Oh the possibilities...

That sounds like something that is better suited for a custom sound pack in my opinion. Say every aircraft could have it's own "hotpad.wav"?

The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

Yeah that's about right... With full throttle you can get up in the 300 range even with the wheels and skid plate extended, however bringing the throttle down to say 2500 gph, you'll only get ~233 IAS.  And if you want to fly right, you've got to try and climb while not burning more than say 2000 the first 5 minutes.  Crappy way to travel.

163s will keep their trolley below 200 mph and feet, dont quote me verbatim, the figures are about that, I'm not sure as I haven't done it in years. You can base hop to the front.

It just takes too long. Id rather land, re-up.

After all the responses it seems if one is consumed with score just re-upping quickly will not be adequate.

The 163 method is brilliant.  :aok

I can't drive my plane on the ground so I think I'll simply just re-up after I land.  Someone else can count my score.  I got planes to kill and a squad assist, don't have unlimited time to play this game.  To each his own.

Thanks again for all the comments.  Learned a lot.  :salute

If I only have one kill and no damage, I'll use the rearm pad.  One, I get a head start on getting my name in lights, which makes me look like one of the cool kids.  But more importantly, I do it to maintain the skill of taxiing the airplane and getting to the rearm without wrecking, and taking off without auto-takeoff.  Because in scenarios, I need this skill.  Yeah its slower, but for me its something I need to practice doing or I won't be able to when it counts.

In Viet Nam we did hot pad refueling when traveling cross country. No engine shut down just stick the fuel hose in the tank and fill er up. It was considered one sortie as I remember it.                     This was on UH-1N helicopter gun ships in the 20ths S.O.S. (Special Operations Squadron).

Using the rearm pad is fun.  For those of us that enjoy the challenge of landing lots of kills and beating personal bests, it lets you "risk" your sortie for the chance of higher success.  It's incredible how it wears on you when you are approaching a record or a personal best.

321bar and griz441.  More power to ya.  :aok

Don't take my comments as being condescending or the like.  Not my intent at all.  

I think diversity in how we play the game makes it better.  It also may be true that the manner in which AH has written this software, to allow such diversity, both attracts new users and retains veteran users.

Rock on!
