Wouldn't it be neat to have a repair pad for those missing plane parts maybe even a band aid or 2 for that pesky pilot wound?
Just a thought <S> Fudmukkr

No

Yes, because a bandaid or two completely heals a 20mm shell ripping through your arm or leg.
In 30 seconds, no less :rolleyes:
-
this has been requested more times than I can remember. it's always been no.

If you had a tater rip your arm or leg off, your dead anyway lol
-
OK, no it is then....just a thought anyway <S>
-
I think for pilot wounds it could be a good thing, everything else, no.
-
Band aid??? screw that bring on the syringe of morphine!!!! :aok

you can always replace the pilot and clean the windscreens

no once so ever on Pilot wounds you would be so weak from hit u couldn't fly
Repair would be good but in all not needed planes are free land it up another

a repair hangar would be good..one that could be bombed out.

That's not half bad. I still think the general consensus will still be no. Having the ability to take out a repair hangar/pad would be a pretty cool option.
-
The repair-pad would only be good for repairing flat tires, which we haven't!
It's not called 'rearm-pad' for nothing ;)
-
well if you had your arm taken off by a tater and managed to get there shouldn't you get a new one? :D
:bolt:

Maybe you could convince someone to drop a vehicle supply near you. I'm sure they carry spares :D
-
I know it's been asked for before, but a refueling pad on V bases would be a help.

Oh come on, they always could give a couple units of plasma while clamping off the bleeders. Heck, they could do it in 15 seconds and have 15 seconds to smoke a cigarette.
While we are at it, maybe they could model a 10 tall bubble canopy so using a mouse targeting reticule would be accurate!
/sarcasm
-
Of course, repair would probably take more than 30 seconds if there was ever the chance that a repair pad was added...
-
OK...maybe not PW's (I've landed on early PW's survived long enough to land sortie and also died while waiting to wake up to end sortie lol) but I was thinking along the line of a missing aileron, elev etc or a gas leak (if you have enough gas to make it to a hangar, if not then ur SOL)
You would need to taxi to any plane hangar and a minute later your plane is fixed. (During that alone time you can go a have your way with the ramp tramp and come back.)
Maybe the repairs could have different color paint like from a salvaged plane lol?
The repairs would be for FCS's only, since an engine hit would require a major overhaul and a missing landing gear would require a belly landing anyway.

you dont have to wake up to end flight.

^ that. Just hit /.ef as soon as U grind to a halt

Replacing flight controls requires rigging and inspection which takes time. Repairing any battle damage of any type would also require a thorough inspection. Bottom line any aircraft unfit to fly would be grounded and the sortie would be over.

yet u bring supplies to a gv and it's good to go. If it works for gv's why not planes

I don't bring supplies to Gvs. ;)
I assume the GV supply option was put in the game to enable the GV fight to continue and it doesn't take place at a base. It takes place out in the field where the battle is being fought. When a guy flys his plane back to a friendly base he's out of the fight and on the ground, if his plane is unfit to fly it's time for a new plane. Maybe he can get his name in lights with the next plane.

+1:
Say you're in the middle of ressuplying and get vulched. You should be able to get your arse outta' there. Might not be all the fuel or ords you wanted, better than nothing, but I believe you should be able
to leave the re-arm pad at any time.
'Plus just think of all the kills you could land, afterwards...'

I think this would also be great for bomber missions, now with the B-29 in game it would be even more effective
but for those die hard bombers out there flying around in there 234's you know how annoying it is when you get a oil hit or something and you have to end sortie, this would fix that problem

Tank crews repair their own vehicles if possible and necessary, often under fire.

The only thing what can be repaired in a couple mins (represented by the 30 seconds) is a radiator leak. The ground crew cant do anything with structural damage.
Anyway, i would give a +1 to repair radiator leaks on the rearm pad, with a proper incrase in the reload/repair time.
-
+1 for that
-
yeah... we need it.

so, you would rather sit and wait for repairs in a hangar than end sortie and grab a new plane there spammer? :rolleyes: looks like the only people who want something useless are the ones who enjoy just sitting around doing nothing anyway...
how about if gun repair was 3 minutes...radiator 7 minutes...engine damage 15 minutes...missing flaps, ailerons, elevators, rudders, 18 minutes...that should come close to approximating the time scale according to the 30 second refueling time.

Alright, guys, now hurry up and get me patched up! I got bases to vulch! :joystick:
I kid :neener:

Well in all honesty "hotpadding" an aircraft to include fuel and ammo in 30 seconds is laughably impossible :aok
Oh and NO to a repair pad

no. no. no. no. no. no. no. no. all ive heard. which is fine. i dont care.
but what about being able to repair certain elements, such as the radiator, which ive heard before, the healing/reviving (to an extent) the pilot idea is a good one, maybe being able to replace the control surfaces, being able to fix oil/fuel tank leaks, replacing the windscreen--to get rid of those stupid cracks-- fixing a gum jam...
all ust ideas off the top of my head. please dont kill me :(
i know the control surfaces isnt logical...just throwing out ideas.

There will be no repair pad. I believe HTC has said as much before.
The challenge is to return to base in 1 piece. And it IS an intentional challenge, per Hitech. That's why you have to be on the cement for a safe landing, vs "anywhere on the ground miles around the field"... That's the price you pay to get your name in lights.
There is no penalty for upping a new plane, whereas in real life you are limited in resources. There's no challenge if you can keep repairing yourself over and over, IMO. I find the challenge is to hotpad and go back out. That means every hit, every hole, takes you 1 step closer to losing that wing. It increases the difficulty of engaging the enemy every time you take damage. Because the next time you get hit could be the straw that broke the camel's back. Kind of a gamble, that way.
That's the way I like it.
