How about a rearm pad which you could rechoose what your loadout would be.
It would be nice to have a plane (which you previously had drop-tanks for) land and rearm, but instead of drop tanks again, maybe get rockets or bombs because lets say if you get intel there r gvs around
Just a thought

YES! This is what we need seriously, a swap out option on the re arm!
-
but of course it would have to be affected by the field supplies to, so if ords are down, you cannot Re-Arm with bombs/rockets, if fuel is porked, well sorry but no drop tanks! I mean yea its nice being able to Hot Pad and get bombs at a field where there are none but i mean come on, how unreal is that, you cannot take a plane off the ground from that field with ords if they are down, you damn well shouldnt be able to Get MORE bombs on your old plane if they are DOWN.
just my 2 pennies worth :)

I like to hot-pad when the need arises like when I've got my trusty Lgay7 and the hangars are down or ENY is up but I do agree that it should reflect field resources.
This means no bombs if Ords are down, and only 25% fuel if fuel is porked. :t
-
yes, of course, i just assumed the idea of not getting bombs when the ords was downs was obvious
-
i even think the way it is now should be changed...
i know ive re-armed an A20 when ords is down but that seems unrealistic to get bombs that are not there
-
Last time I posted this request in here alot of you said no. What's with the change of attitude all of a sudden? :)
-
i dont recall u posting this idea but il look right now
-
Latrobe, i just read ur posts and i saw lots of "Yes's"

Well if ord is disabled, no bombs or rockets, fuel, no drop tanks. simple as that.

Really? Thought it was No's :lol . I really don't have a good memory for anything past 1 week, and that was posted a couple months ago? Must have been something else I wished for. ;)

Take enough fuel to get home, or go home while you have fuel left. No Power-ups in the war, no need for them here.

So, no aircraft EVER landed, got more fuel, told his crew cheif that he wanted a droptank, or not to give him bombs, and took off again. This NEVER happened? Wow... shouting "Dot ee eff" and teleporting to a hangar must have gotten really tiring for them after a long 20 minute flight to germany...

Actually, if I make the rearm pad....it'd be nice if they put my aileron back on.
i.e. fix my damage.
(and clicking on a "load supplies" button to instantly repair a gv ain't gamey?)
-
Oops, I replied to the wrong post initially, where someone was requesting that another plane fly out to where you've landed and refuel you.
On the topic of instant resupply- it's incredibly gamey. At the very least, it should take, IMO, 30 seconds (as it is on the rearm pads), or longer.
This particular suggestion is meant only to allow people to rack up higher stats per sortie. They can already exit and replane with the desired loadout in the matter of a few seconds, so I don't see what this would add in terms of gameplay.
-
HT himself said it wouldn't happen, a while back.
-
Moot....the problem with pronouns...define "it"
and hubs I agree...either make gvs 30 sec. or fix my plane...
as for gameplay...personal reasons...taxiing into and out of the rearm pad without clipping a building or snapping a landing strut, then haveing to take off again...adds a little challenge..

It, defined.

I would not say things like repairing body parts.
maby simple damage tho, such as oil/coolant leaks/guns.
and even that, should come with a 3-5 min wait.
If they realy want it that badly, they can wait.
If its a real hot area, they will probably get vulched anyhow.
-
Ok, it's .ef if I'm damaged then...it'll be faster, anyway...
-
im not suggesting that the rearm pad "heals" you(if you will) but just gives you options on what you would like to rep with
-Ian
-
I suggested this ealy last year.... I still think it's a fantastic idea.
NO DAMAGE to be fixed at re-arm pads.. just selection of fuel load-out.
I'd even be happy with no option to load additional ordinance.
EG: If you took off with bombs and rockets you have the option to load both, one or none
Same with fuel, if you took off with a DT you have option to load or not to load it (removing the rail, if not? I'm not sure about that one... time factor involved) and choose your fuel load-out.
-
Absolutly:aok :aok
-
I dont know about certain things.. for example, most aircraft need parts added to them to carry bombs & DT's. But, as far as ammunition/gun loadouts and internal fuel loadouts go, Id love to have this implemented.
-
Plane repair isn't on HT's todo list, and different loadouts probably aren't either. I had asked him about the latter during a Q&A session years back, and his answer was "We won't be doing that".
-
nay

In :aok
(load out part anyway)
