Title: new landing strips
Post by: zoozoo on January 01, 2008, 04:51:34 PM
I think there should be a landing strip next to the HQ for the 163's that arent so good on fuel. Maybe put a landing strip next to things such as fuel refinery, ammo factory ect. Also, no ack on the strips.

Increasing the use of the 163 is not a good idea, so please no.

They are fine enough on fuel, provided that you manage it and know when to glide.

NAY!

163's are great gliders. And if you up a 163 you should know how much fly time you have with a 163. 8min full throttle but you can manage 10-12min with reducing throttle and climb to 30K get up speed and drift. Ive made a 163 one and a half sectors by climbing and coasting.

Get a 163 up to 60-70K and half a tank of fuel gets you 15 min flight time! :O

The longest i was able to get the 163 to fly today was 13 minutes climbing up to 14 straight from take off, then made throttle really low and proceded to HQ, then throttle up to kill falcon23's lancaster that were at 19k, then i was able to glide half way back to take off base then used little throttle on the deck.

If you run out of fuel, you're a noob.

Noobs.  I can fly a 163 2 sectors, get in a dogfight and fly back 2 sectors to land safely.

if you get on the concreet at all bases it counts as a landing

I've landed a damaged 262 at a strat field before...

The 163 is a great addition to the game that I think is hugely limited with the uncapturable field thing now.

Giving it a little more scope wouldn't hurt.

When I play (off peak, GMT +10) there are never ANY HQ raids and the fields don't get pushed back enough to enable effective use of the 163 for any side.

How small is that little strip of concrete at hq again?

it's not even a strip, It's more like a side walk. Not that big, it's not worth losing the perks if you crash into a building. I would rather ditch it and lose half then crashing it and looking all perks.

Keep the landing gear on the 163 when you take off and you can make it to the front lines if you don't mind taxiing around on a few airfields to re-fuel.

It really is, I've never seen anyone do it but I know you "could" if you would take the time for it.

I've seen ghi do this before, hilarious seeing a 163 4 sectors or more from it's base

EDIT: just to clarify I'm not attributing the "cheap" comment to this, I really do think it is very funny
