Title: A Place For The Pt Boats To Land Their Kills
Post by: Mano on June 28, 2011, 11:09:02 AM: The remote spawn points need a safe landing zone added so pt boat drivers can exit w/o a ditch or capture.
Place the safe landing area adjacent to the remote spawn point along with a green arrow to indicate it's location.

Rtb is almost impossible traveling at 30 knots.

Not true Sir. Only when in close proximity to a friendly CV group or pulled into a berth at a friendly port. Must be completely stopped to end sortie as well.

Post by: badhorse on June 28, 2011, 02:45:12 PM: I was able to land a PT boat last night for the first time without going to a dock at port. The CV had been sunk so I positioned the PT in front of one of the destroyers and shut down the engine. It ran into me and sent me spinning. I clicked on end sortie and got a successful landing. I have no idea if this will always work, but it did last night.

Would be great if it really worked the same way as it does for vehicles... but unfortunately it doesn't

Yes. You can always "land" your boat inside a TG's perimeter.

Post by: Krusty on June 29, 2011, 04:24:58 PM: Well color me wrong. Sorry, that's what somebody told me once. I never really look when I tower out of a PT, or I rarely survive CV ack to notice the "safely landed" message.
