Title: Really now?
Post by: cut67 on August 29, 2010, 09:42:50 PM
Im pretty sure in real life if you get back to base it counts as a victory.. SO why does it not count if i dont touch cement.. Really? You guys are doing great but have little flaws here and there .. It would be great if your within the box of your base it counts... Hehe just a suggestion

Thats how it has been since the beginning. Just landing anywhere on a base to get a successful landing goes well past easy mode so it will never happen

it's always been like that, also, the ground wasnt perfectly smooth in real life like it is in here

Well, I'm pretty sure if you landed just outside the base it would still count, and if you landed close to the town near-by it would be fine, so why not just make all friendly territory friendly?

There are lines because this is a game and there have to be specific boundaries to count score and kills.  Earning kills is part of that equation, and making it back is another.  Landing is an important aspect of flying (so I've heard  :noid) so you need to know how to do it.  I'm guessing the OP was written minutes after he skidded off of a runway and got a ditch instead of a successful landing.  The best advice I can give, learn to land and this won't be a problem.

It wasn't like that in AH1, used to be bumpy.  Not sure why it got changed.

Cmon now.  Lemme guess, you ran out of fuel, milked it all the way back and ended up ditching just outside of the base?  We've all been there, it makes the game more fun that way.

I understand you :) But others say that because: it has always been like that from the start. I have sometimes miscalculated the fuel to the aircraft, I climbed the last of the fuel is left. Look for a GV base or airport, and glide as best you can with the plane to the nearest base.

  in AH1 you didnt need to worry about running out of fuel, you just landed on enemy runway and it counted  :D

If you didn't have enough fuel, or working parts to get you to the runway, the crew manager is likely pissed off at you for either A) having to fix your plane, or B) Towing your butt back to the hangars.

Either way, it's more work for the poor flight crew. Think of the poor greasemonkeys!

Who says you have to land on pavement? You can always be a hillbilly, like me, and land successfully on hangars.  :D

Actually, IRL, a victory is a victory if you live or not.  

IRL, if you crash on the runway you've crashed, not "landed successfully".

How about that?

It was a "You have landed successfully" message that appeared on my text buffer. Try it out sometime!  :aok

You dissappoint me. I was expecting a better pizza with better ingredients.  :furious I want my refund!  :neener:

Hmmm, maybe the following screenshot provides a hint as to why you are in receipt of a cookie and not a pizza.
