I've given this the most thought i ever gave anything and im thinking how about when we land and we have a missing aileron or a elevator instead of ending sortie to get a brand new plane u just go to the Rearm pad and while its reloading your guns and ord u can bring up the damadge status and click the parts of your plane you want fixed.
It wouldnt take the holes outta ur wing or tail it would just give u a new elevator or watever u click. And for every part of ur plane u want fixed u have to stay on the rearm pad for an extra 20-30 sec.
-
Man, if we had that feature, alot more people would be racking up 10 to 15+ kills a sortie
-
Got no problem with that - make them wait a little more for it though - 2 to 3 minutes at least.
! :aok
-
wait....
longer waiting time = more risk of being vulched

exactly :)

I agree totally latrobe.
I think this would be a good contribution to gameplay.
For all them spray and pray types that cant finish their kills they will have to learn to shoot properly.
-
well if tigers can get new turrets in a a click of the mouse.. i dont see why planes cant get new parts either
-
ok maybe a new twist to the idea you only get repaired if troops/supplies are up on the base you landed at.....
-
only problem with that is they would have to buff up supplies so noone can go through with a LA and pork the troops/supplies in a matter of seconds
-
again handy another positive.
I like fights for bases to be exciting the possibility of a sneak back when a horde runs a base then moves onto the next one and u get the m3 in and take it back priceless.
Too many times has a fight situation been spoilt by dweeb porkers.
There are always more uppers when they know troops are coming. Porking is the easy way out. Granted its the only way to stop a horde but it happens all too often.

re-arm pad is an anachromism which should be scrapped totally IMO..........
Airfield can be totally destroyed yet some how magically you can re arm and re fuel regadless of the fuel or ordinance situation at the field........:confused:
Would prefer that M3's had to deploy supplies which were available to stationary aircraft within range

Good point you need people to fix a plane.

thought of another way we can use rearm pads last night when I took a P47N w/ rkts and 2 1000lb bombs. I was flying to a base to drop bombs on vh and rkts on twn but wen i got there everything was dwn and we were vulchin everything. Now i had nothing to drop my ord on so i was thinking as i went to base to land and get a vulching plane "hey wat if we could just go to the rearm pad and select wat ord we want?"
That would be cool if we could just go to the rearm pad and select different ord selections instead of ending sortie all the time. But if u go to do that and u took off and had 100 fuel and now theres a limit of 75u had to select 75 or else u cant take off
-
1. Good Idea here's some tips
- Make the wait time a few minutes long, depending on parts. Such as half a wing will be 5+ minutes where as a Aileron would be 2+ minutes and a landing gear would be a minute or less
- Limit the amount of parts that you can repair. If the guys missing damn well near everything don't let him repair it all. Ex. Ailerons, elevators, halfwings (Basically he had a bad landing). Limit it to like 3 parts which is all you should need.
- No healing pilot wounds.
- Only at fields with supplies enabled. So it works the same way as GV's.
Therefore, you can't heal a pilot wound, risk being vulched, have to fly to a non porked field, and hope you get there without dieing. I would love it when I get 9 kills and a avacado blows my aileron off when I want 15+ kills. Also will help player base stop HOing, and spraying.
Kind Regards,
Krypto

This has been suggested numerous times in the past.
HTC has said no numerous times in the past.

How do you do that, Resupply ?
-
or, they could leave the rearm pad as is, and maybe make it to when u pull in the hanger you could get a new plane? just a suggestion =)
-
Or how about this, if you wish to repair damage, you get out of your plane, have a cup of coffee , have a chat with the gent's in the tower, they when your ready to take off, you press a fly button?

either that or a good pint of bitter... :D
that's more like it :)
any way that a bar could be put into the O'club as a texture??? that would be really awesome, drinking in the tower with the squad and friends :D

Both ways work... the suggestion was to add additional depth to gameplay. Just like adding pilot pickup funtionality with jeeps/m3/goon. You don't need them but they add a lot to the coolness and versatility of the game. Improving gameplay = improving retention of player base. That is the point.

What if repairs, 1 took couple of minutes and 2, cost some perks?
just an idea :)

With regards to re-arm pads, I would like to see a re-arm pad about midway down the runway, save on tire rubber if I didn't have to taxi so far, hehe. I do see this becoming a prime vulchin' spot, but what the heck! Also, it would be neat if there was a re-arm pad on the vehicle bases. Damage repair, well would be nice, but maybe later.:)

What if the hangers on the base are down and the next close base is under attack???
I had some situations when it would have been very nice to get a repaired plane, without to leave it. With planes, but specialy with tanks(VH is fast down) i would like this.
30sec to refuel/rearm and 90sec to repair would be good i think(enough time to get a coffee lol ).

Yeah, I just don't know what their value is in the MA. In Offline practice, their default value is the same as the bunkers/barracks, etc... So, 250 lbs?
-
:) yea we need to be able repair our air craft especialy oil damage because you cant take off and especialy props when you make hard landings
-
car wash girls to clean the oil off cockpit
-
like the idea....
Dont like a repair hanger as there is less chance of being vulched...
You want to repair your plane do so but at a greater risk than pulling into hanger where you cant be seen...
Times added to the 30 second rearm depending on what you want to fix... Interesting idea...
But then again I do like a good cup of coffee
