I was coming in with a pilot wound and as I was slowing down on the deck, I blacked out and ended up getting my prop and wheels. and not being on the runway. I got a bit annoyed.
I was hoping that we could possibly impliment some sort of 3/4ths points for a crash landing within oh say 250-300meters/yards of the runway, that way if we **** up or are wounded we still are able to get better than if we were to crash somewhere in the boonies and bail, or ditch, etc.
Just a hopeful suggestion
Thanks

You get all your "points" if you ditch exept 25% bonus perks.
-
After the latest release i have gotten some successful landings even if i was off the rw and flipped over.
-
and it's not even about the points, I just think that crash landing within a certain proximity of the runway should still result in a sucessful rtb, even though your plane is a litte beat up.
-
Yeah i brought this up a while ago. got shot down because people said "you have to stop the line somewhere". so they figured that the runway is the "logical" place to stop that line.... come on, i could get out of the plane and push it onto the runway. or perhaps the ground crew could run over and help. But this is WAR!!! ground crews didn't do thier jobs in the heat of a battle around the airfield.
[/sarcasm]
Now. why not make the square tile of the field be a place to allow successful landings. And make planes able to land anywhere a GV can make a successful landing.

GVs are able to make a successful landing ANYWHERE on map. You really want that for planes too?

Why not? if gvs can do it, why not planes? It makes no less sense allowing a panzer to land while on an nme base than a plane doing it.

Sure you want to have the GVs drive all the way back to a friendly base ? ;)
And just because GVs can do something weird right now, it's not a valid argument for enabling planes to do the same...
-
What i dont get is someone can land perfectly on the area around the runway and get a ditch.
The same dude a few moments later can CRASH land missing a wing,completly augers and destroys the plane beyond any flyable reason.
they exit,and are perfectly alright. 0.o
Dunno about ya'll but if the pilot survives, he should get his kills.

If i have to drive to base in TT to land kills, those darn toolshedding GV drivers should have to also. :p :lol
But if the wings are completely destroyed or lost. then how could he get his kills? they didnt just go home and say, "i shot down the whole luftewaffe today!" the guncams confirmed thier "official" victories.

You are "successfully rtb" neither captured nor killed, where is your problem? If you want "name in lights" try harder and land on runway/concrete.

You don't lose any kills ever. Land, ditch, crash, bail: You still "get them".

No

Yes.

land on the runway, or live with it, this morning i ran outta gas, and had numerouse parts missing off a 38, an nme buzzed me I paniced and slid off the runway, does it suk? yes, do I think we should wienerise the current method and start divying out percentages? no
the line has to be drawn somwhere, as soon as they change it some guy will come on and complain about being just a little outside the field and ditching, and could the landing areas be a little bigger?
NO
dont care what you think :)

Told ya. most people here dont care if it makes sense, they just play. and alot of people come here to try and make themselves feel better by shooting down the people who applaud reason.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT MY NAME IN LIGHTS!!!!!!!1
I just support this because i seem to "crash" my broken perkie planes and lose my points. other day i broke a gear off a 262, the wing caught the tarmac, and ripped me off of the runway... so i ended up about 2 feet off the runway at a deserted airbase. So why is making this a ditch a Rational thing? If you laser-guided wishlist ack people can come up with a good answer to that. tell me.
Edit: that 262 was already missiong the wingtip, why i broke the gear off.

OK, HT extends the safe landing zone. Then the next one lands 2ft away from it. "Man, I could push that plane that far, come on, just 2 feet".. and so on. Then the safe landing zone encompasses the whole field. At that moment we could get rid of the runways anyway. Then the next one will land just 2 ft away from the airfield... I think you get what I mean.
If you wanna have a safe landing & name in lights, go work for it. Don't get shot don't get damaged. And if you miss a wingtip and still make it make to the runway, WTG! It's a test of you skill. And if you take a perk plane into the air, you know the risk.
-
What if it cost perk points or something?
Just a random idea that popped into my head. Ignore it. >_>
-
I will ignore it, because the point of landing from a bit further away is mostly to AVOID losing perks.

I see that arguement and it makes sense but the airfield does seem like a more logical line to draw.
-The line has be drawn somewhere
-You must land at friendly base
-Friendly bases have a defined perimeter (the base 'tile')
- (in my opinion) landing on the base tile should be a landing. (Coming from the perspective that not all countries even HAD runways to land on, especially at front-line bases)
It's not a big issue, it would just seem more logical to me.
It would also be ****ing hilarious watching noobs being lazy and crashing into troop bunkers or radar towers when they were landing 'where ever they felt like' on a field and losing their kills! :rofl
:noid

Ive got it, add a recovery vehicle and allow buddys to come out and tow your mangled plane back to the runway....
LOL:rofl

I know they added this..but in WWII didn't they have something at the end of runways, like a dirt or gravel?

You could get your squadies to come out in a jeep and drop you Aircraft supplies if you blew your landing.
:lol

at least allow the "brown part" on the side of the runway to count, Because when you land with all gears shot out and half a wing with your oil leaking and 7 kills in a 262.... and you end up with the 262 more on the runway than off and you get ditch, I would be po'd too. I think the brown should count as runway but nothing further.
