Kill request
« on: January 29, 2019, 11:05:20 AM »
any way we could get a listing in the scores/stats for "Ships Destroyed" ? 

Also, can we get a place for a safe landing for PT boats?  I'm enjoying the challenge of trying to sink ships without getting killed but I can only get a ditch even if I go back to the spawn area, base and/or task group.

thanks for the consideration...

The PT is tricky in that you have to bring it to a complete stop before exiting to get a landing. That is the way it was when I used to run them.

Thanks for the info but I think it will still give me a ditch.  The only time it did not is when I drove into the carrier (I mean inside it) and then shut down although it was the only time it did that. 

Just be nice to land it and for the "ship destroyed" to show. There are a few of us that actually like the PT boats (go figure)  :confused:

thanks for the response!  :salute

PT can safely 'land' on a friendly base, which means inside TG perimeter or in a port.
Ending sortie in hostile waters (=closest base is an enemy one) always results in a death, ending sortie in friendly waters always results in a ditch.
Would have been nice if PT boats get the same 'landing' rules as GVs (hey, they score under 'vehicle' anyway), but that has been asked for since like the beginning of time...  :bolt:

you can land a PT boat inside the perimeter of you're fleet, closer to the cv the better, you have to shut engines off and wait for green end sortie
you can land in the cove of you're friendly port, again shut engines off and wait for green end sortie.

    Having  a similar set up to GVs seems better driving a PT to safe area about the most boring and longest task on AH
