i don't recall who was doing it, but there was a guy doing it a couple of weeks ago.  he had to fly and rearm without going above 200 mph to get there or he would lose his gear...took him quite a long time to get there iirc.

BULL YOU CANT REARM IN A 163..... AND THE GEARS COME OFF WHEN YOU TAKE OFF.... ITS IMPOSSIBLE. Only way to get there is to glide..... but its useless 2 minutes to get to 30k.... 3 minutes remaining glide 15 minutes or more to TT than fight 2.5 min and climb 20k to glide and land??? bull:)

You don't have to drop the gear, and by setting .speed to 200 mph it is quite easy to burn/glide to a different base and re-fuel.

It was a well planned squad mission.. too bad when we made it to TT there was only like 3 enemy planes around. I think it was 12 or 13 of us flying them.

I flew a 262 because they were already otw when I joined up.

Yes, quite impossible to rearm a 163.  No way in heck anyone could do that.  Apparently it's really easy for nine to do that

That is because you, my friend, are what is know as an Idiot. Ive done it myself, if you are a good pilot (And I would wager my life's earnings YOU sir, are NOT) you can get anywhere you want in a 163. It just takes good planning, and excellent aircraft control.

Actually you can fly up to 350 mph until the gear falls off.

That looks really dark.  Now I understand all the graphics complaning going on... things look definitely lighter with my monitor.

Anyway, dont want to hijack this thread so.... good job on that mission guys!  I would have been one pissed off dude if I had happened to be in TT at that time :)

Hello pot this is kettle.


I'd ease up on the idiot comments there reynolds.

What he is ,  has not been shown or read how to disable auto take off.



Ohh guys on that mission , that must have taken some time.

Yup, I've done it many a time... climb to 30k, shut off engine, glide down to about 10k, turn rocket back on and climb to 20k, turn off and plan a landing no further than 1 secotor away. Land long turn rocket on, taxi to rearm pad and refuel. You can transvers about 4 sectors on the safe side per tank full. So a couple of refuels will get you just about anywhere you wanna go... nothing like jumping into a low n slow conga line over the water, applying full throttle and climbing almost verticle out of a sticky situation. :aok

I prefer the low on throttle cruise option;)

Post by: Ghosth on April 16, 2007, 06:13:28 AM
Actually all you have to do is takeoff, leave gears on, set autoclimb, set your autoclimb speed to 200. So instead of getting FAST and ripping gears off it climbs instead. Run up to 15k, kill engine, leave in autoclimb, now its a 200mph glider.

Stage forward, taxing is tricky but doable.

I did it myself once about a year ago just to prove it was possible.
Because the last guy that saw this happen came into the TA swearing someone had cheated. No cheat, just smarts & skill.

I didn't succsessfuly rearm more than 2-3 times since Ah2 came out, the rearming pad is soo narrow, those concrete blocks close, i always lose my wings, or i can't back up the plane, i did try to rearm C47 or bombers sometimes, but it can't fit in that space,
Did somebody ever rearm bombers?
  In AH1, the rearming pad, was way more accesible, along the runway eassy to taxi, without crashing,

we need better re-arm pad

Post by: devild0g on April 16, 2007, 09:30:16 PM
Rearm pad is retarded it is meant for landing on the narrow strip not very nice to people who land on main taxi way... because that stoopid fueltank is infront of your face than when you rearm you gota go a complete circle around the pad to line up on rw its very annoying much better if they had it cv style at end of runway plenty of safety space from buildings

who says you cant use the runway then taxi to the re arm pad i know thats what i do i land on the runway and cut across the grass so i pointing right towards the runway for when the re arm is complete

Post by: tedrbr on April 17, 2007, 01:44:26 AM
Use external view when on the runway (you can use that view in any plane while on the ground) to maneuver into rearm pad.  Look down from above the plane, instead of from behind.  Take your time, use diff brakes, rudder/nose wheel, and throttle.  Have your entry and exist path planned as you approach.

I've rearmed B-17's and Ki-67's at pad many times.  It's easy.  You get drones back when you take off again.  I land on the runway, and take off from the runway..... only use taxi way or grass to lift when in a fighter and scrambling to get back up fast.

How do you do that? I tried this two or three times, but once landed my drones just stay on the ground. Noticed that with (on? at? by? me fail english again) other players too.

Post by: tedrbr on April 17, 2007, 02:16:43 PM
I come and land about mid-field.  Gera down at last minute to keep drones close.  Taxi down to the rearm pad.  Rearm.  Go out the way I came in.  I think it works so long as you don't pass beyond the range where the drones normally go pop.

Been a while since I've done it, haven't been flying buffs for a while, but I've done it from a field where ord was out in order to sink an enemy CV on at least two occasions.

Hm, I just tried it two times offline, but it didn't work yet. Had no problems landing & rearming, but regardless which way I was taking off again, my drones just kept sitting there.

I have never had a problem re arm  lancs or 26 or 17's     Use the F3 then F8 view keys as soon as u land.  Gives u a birds eye view. I always cut across grass and come in the back way.....  You dont have to be all the way on just most of the way


You can really move your score if you only up one ...and keep rearm'in ...formations dont allways re up. the advantge to formation is if u get killed you can spawn to plane on the ground and just take back off. Till some vulch tard see them then the fun is over.

Begining of tour upped one lanc and re armed took my "B"score to two digits.

Salute ,have fun.
P.S only makes real $.00 if u score hoin or if ord is down.

Well, if/when I get my game rig back up (liquid cooling developed a short, preventing POST, and I think it finally took the processor with it)  I'll try to do a reup with drones and film it.
