Landing in a tank
« on: April 25, 2011, 11:57:03 PM »
I just installed the new patch. I don't like the GV's anymore, but that's another story. I tried to land my kills 4 times tonight and in different places, including the run way twice, and on all 4 occasions it said I ditched. If I can't land on a runway with a tank, where am I supposed to land my kills??!! and all 4 times was with a tiger  :-( lost perkies!

The first 2 times was at a large air field, the other 2 times was at a GV field. And all 4 times i was stopped with engine off on pavement. All the same places I would usually land my kills.

 I would think that landing a tank would be pretty standard:stop on concrete,return to spawn point,whatever.I guess not.If not then how do you land a tank?

I use full flaps... them's heavy suckers  :)

In times past, if no NME was within 6K, no matter where you sat you got a successful landing.  If an NME was less than 6K, then you had to be on concrete at a base to get a successful landing.  It appears that there may be an issue with this now.

Same problem had here, landed a couple different tanks on the concrete while checking them out and got ditches.  Other times in gv's landed them successfully.

Yup, I landed an undamaged T34/85 on concrete at a port and got a ditch. Squaddie landed an M3 at the same time and got a ditch also.
