how about if you get an opponents pilot with a killshot, instead of the plane exploding, the icon vanishes and the plane becomes impossible to damage further?
this would stop people trying to kill steal a dead pilot's plane, and also would look a heck of alot better in films.
but, the new explosions are fantastic HTC, thank you very much.
i do think this slight change would make the game feel much more realistic.
i only post here not in the requests forum so we can get an idea what everyone thinks about it.
wadaya say?
-
I'd prefer it if the plane simply fell out of control when the pilot dies......
-
thats what i mean. but the icon would have to vanish to show the pilot was hit.
also, make it impossible for anyone to steal the kill after the pilot was killed.
-
I kinda like the plane exploding. It's not like planes never blew up in real life ya know...
-
Same here. I know in lock on if you kill the pilot the plane goes out of control. I have seen many a mig die this way after they met my 30mm O' death from the A-10. It looks great on film too. I would also like to see a better film veiwer. Some things like a fly by veiw and whatnots would add alot when making movies for AH2.
-
i dont mind that the plane explodes but it would be nice if we knew when it was a pilot kill
like
you have been pilot killed by mechanic

what would be reallyreallyl cool and so neat it would be awesome would be if we got "HEADSHOT" in big red writing when you shoot someone in the head and it says "HEADSHOT" in big voice really really loud oh that would be soo csoo cool man i want it i would be l33t lal you would hear is "HEADSHOT HEADSHOT HEADSHOT HEADSHOT" when i am vulching because my aim is l33t

Planes dont blow up just because the pilot flying it gets killed. Sure, it stands a very good chance of exploding once the plane hits the ground. :)
I like this idea too :)
-
Ya but after the tenth time chasin a guy from 15k to the deck, just to see him crash...or ignoring him and seeing him pull out of the dive inches above the deck and losing the kill would get old.
-
you guys are missing the point.
the plane would not be possible to shoot down after the pilot was hit.
the icon would vanish also, so 'faking' it would not be possible.
the plane would still blow up with a fuel tank hit by cannon, or from fuel leak ignited etc.
everyone clear?
furball, go back to sleep.
-
I think the vanishing icon would draw too many complaints. How do you know the pilot is dead or wounded? All you know is hits landed near the canopy. Having the plane go unresponsive and fly to the gound would be damn cool, and not being able to steal the kill at that point would also be nice. It really wouldn't be that hard to dip your wing and check to see if he starts trying to recover, and you should have enough of an E advantage at that point to chase him down should he survive.
-p.
-
Maybe the pilots in AH are actually Terminators, with hydrogen fusion fuel cells that become unstable when damaged?

Would'nt they just have to make it so killing the pilot is the most damaging, Because, the person that gets credit for the kill is the person that does the most damage correct? So making pilot dead should provide the most damage Right? this way no icon needs to disapear, let'm shoot the plane up all they want, pilot would registar dead for who ever killed him or her and kill goes to that person, at this point plane damage for a "Kill" would be null and void except for "assist". lol, almost confused myself. hope you all get what im saying :p

Planes would fly for dozens of miles occasionally with dead pilots. The plane should just lose all pilot input in case of a pilot kill and continue flying just as it did in real life.
A straight flying target is then easy to blow out of the sky or let it fall naturally. There are several accounts of fights where the opponent realized the enemy pilot died when they stoped evasive movements. I remember reading one account where a pilot moved to the enemys wing to witness him collapsed and witness the crash afterwards.
It's just a waste of ammo to shoot a pilotless plane so it would bring an addition to gameplay. You could then fake death just as in real life and the enemy has an option to either potentially waste more ammo on you or risk letting you escape on last moment.

Not sure that I understand. Let's see, I shoot a pilot , say during base defense. Nothing changes except I get a kill message. The plane happens to be in fairly good trim and continues on across the base. Now tactic and the other 5 guys doing base defense see this plane, say a Tiffy. Would they not try to chase it down, wasting their ammo and drawing them out of position from the defense of the other enemy aircraft whose pilots are NOT dead?
In effect, this dead pilot becomes a decoy aircraft. Now say I'm a SH lucky pilot and I kill three pilots in this engagement? (yeah, like THATS going to happen) :D

why not let it fly on but icon changes to P-D (pilot dead) or just -DEAD-?
