Title: Pilot Wounds?
Post by: Vudak on July 10, 2005, 03:30:09 AM

First of all, let me just say, I had an absolute BLAST tonight.  I really wish I could attend these things more often, as whenever I do, it's always the very pinnacle of my enjoyment in Aces High...  So anyway, a big ! to Lute & Fuzeman for making that possible!

Now, if I may pick either of your brains for a moment...  I was wondering what exactly the policy on pilot wounds is?  My interpretation of the rule is that as long as you have a controllable plane you're good to go...  So I've been .efluff'n once I start to go into the first blackout and can no long control it.  

Am I correct to be doing this, or should I be .efluff'n as soon as I receive a pilot wound, or is it acceptable to simply hit auto-level, come out of the blackout, and keep fighting?

I could see why the last scenario wouldn't be acceptable, but I'm not sure what your take on this is and would like to find out before August's KoTH.

Thanks,

Pilot wounds are not a 'ef' situation and you can fly until you die. As long as the pilot is alive you can continue and use autopilot.
A pilot can revive from a blackout and that's the key. This would fall into the same catagory of a G-lock blackout sort of and there would be no 'ef' for that of course.

Thanks Vudak, we're glad you had a blast and hopefully you can attend more often.
