HiTech,
Here is an idea for Pilot Rescues that may work.
Within each map sector set up a series of “safe houses” i.e. 4 @5 in a sector if a pilot is shot down and survives (Bail or Ditch) they make their way to the closest safe house and from there they would re-spawn much like the GV’s do today. The further away from the front line the more spawn points needed to return to a friendly base. i.e. if you are 3@4 sectors out from a friendly base then you would have to walk to the first safe house, then re spawn close to the next safe house etc… In each save house you could call for a pickup via C 47 or any other multi seat plane /GV and use the .join command to get in…the Pilot / Driver that picks you up would gain extra career points etc…the further behind lines he goes the more points.
For Sea maps we would need to call for a Float plane / Boat for a pick up the same would apply just no “Safe houses”
Flame away!!
