This is a very bad idea for special events.

I agree for FSO and other specials events where there is a limited life count.  But what purpose does the re-arm pad serve in the MA other than foster ridiculous WarThunder level  kill counts on the text buffer.  When the wheels touch down the sortie is over IRL.  For realism I would like to see Hitech keep the re-arm pad but end the sortie when you stop on it.  As it is now it is soooo arcade.  Guys landing 23 kills is not good for immersion.

Landing 20+ kill sorties in planes is happening at an order of magnitude like 1 in every 1000 sorties or so.

I've only been able to land one 20+ kill sortie in 6 years....it is not very easy to do. And when I did it took several hours. It's not something you see very often. It's a tough challenge.....you should try it.

I wonder what the stats are on average padding of kills per "sortie" with rearm pad usage.

22 kills in 2006 no re-arm.

Was on the deck racing to defend a field. Caught up to large 110 noe mission with several C47s.

They were all single file so just crept up behind and picked them off one by one with short bursts.  :D

Since this is a game and not ww2, I like rearm pads the way they are. If you rearm past 10 kills you risk your perk bonus when landing but for me at least if I land anything under 5 kills its not enjoyable. Once you start getting 15+ kills you get nervous trying not to die, and then the fun really kicks in  :rock

Well, that is until you hit a tree on landing with 25...  :bhead

And if they landed 23 good for them it's no easy thing to do  :noid

Re-arming should successfully end the previous sortie and start a new one as far as scoring is concerned. I see no purpose in having a scoring category (kills/sortie) that effectively amounts to "Does this guy use the re-arm pad a lot?"

If your thoughts were implemented then some of the achievements would need to be eradicated
