Sorry for the 3 posts, but I believed it was best to separate them…
This is a brainstorm I had tonight. Many people have asked for “repairs” to be done on the reload pad. Though I like the idea of repairing that fuel leak or whatever, I understand the reason behind not implementing it.
But…
What if there was a hangar that could do repairs in say 5 minutes game time, AND was destroyable?
Take one of the “un-destroyable” objects on an airfield, and make it a “repair” hangar. Say about the size of a fighter hangar. You drive your plane into it, and repairs are done. Set time limits on different repairs.
SYSTEM: Radiator repair will be completed in 4 minutes
SYSTEM: Elevator repair will be completed in 1 minute
So on.
I think the REAL trick is, make this object destructible. Just like a fighter hangar, it can be killed. Heck even make it tied into the strats of a base, so it stays down for 45 minutes minimum.
I think you all get the idea

When I was Flying in a Squad during the Combat Flight Sim era CFS2 Pacific came out , and you could land on the RR , limp to the Nearest Hanger and shut off eng, and in a few min you were repaired and off you went to fight again , was a great thing but CFS2 went to crapola when the slew mode and auto follow cheats came out along with other cheats , but getting repaired on by the hanger was very nice.

don't get your hopes up but someone at HTC (HT i think) in blue said they wouldn't be doing hotpad repairs or loadout changes.
-
It'd be lovely to maybe pay perks to get your plane repared.. Or something of the sort.
-
Just having a hot pad for planes and gv'z at the VH'z would be cool. even :) yup.. yup...
-
I'm all for this idea. :D

Where is the Med Tent gonna be?
Can I get a quick left leg amputation while my radiator is being patched? Hope there will be Hot Nurses :aok
Yah cool,,, im for this idea,,, But how am i gonna decide when to retire my plane, , , hmm maybe after 5 hours with 40 kills....... sweet!
Maybe my engine can get rehauled in 5 min, , , These mechanics are good ,,,, how can we aford them at 14$ a month :D
I think this is a cool Idea ,, but it just won't fly, things will get rediculouse, , , Fester in 262 with 200 kills ,,, 12 hour mission.
anyways,,, maybe limited repairs only should this go through.
Like minor hull repair flaps, guns, controls etc,,,, and maybe patch up holes so plane is fresh if no damaged items.
thats my 3 cents

would be a great one, same as loadout changes but i doubt it will happen :(
-
so if a mission takes place they knock down all the FHs and all the people then not only Rearm but then Repair and kept the Hord moving
-
Great idea!
Would sometimes love to repair the planes.
Also this would make it more feasable to disable certain planes at the frontline or restrict planes more heavyly per base.
-
Planes should just have to fly near a supply crate and PRESTO the plane is all fixed, just like the gv's get to do.
-
Yeah last night I managed to pull an undamaged P-47 onto the re-load pad by maneuvering between blackouts, but there were no docs around to fix the bullet hole in my head & clean the windshield :)

The multi-kill mission fetish is bad enough as it is.

I'd love the option to land my damaged aircraft, taxi over to a hangar and sit and wait a couple minutes while 'repairs' were being done to my plane. I know its a little unrealistic, but so is rearming and refueling in 30 seconds flat.
This is what I envision, and its partly from EAW and partly from my garage "recording studio", so the quality is low, but I think it conveys the idea.
AH Repair Hangar (http://www27.brinkster.com/tjlaven/RepairHangar/)
I don't have a multi-kill sortie fetish, but I do enjoy the added tension of having to manuever the plane around on the ground without hitting anything. Plus, the suspense that comes from knowing you could be strafed or bombed at any time makes the game more exciting for me.
