where by a player can enable an auto return to base via AI.
With this enabled he/she can take up a 2nd ride and go play whilst the 1st is RTB.
- it would be limited to 1st and 2nd ride
- the first ride is still vulnerable to enemy interception
-players would only be able to re join the 1st ride from the tower
-heavy ordinance would be disabled (permanently)once this is engaged
or
-all heavy ordinance would have to have been discharged prior to it being engaged
-possible use of an enemy free zone to enable it (a bit like the zone to enable a successful landing from a vehicle).
-possible enablement of AI gunners on bombers (appropriately dumbed down) to offer a modicum of challenge to would be interceptors.
-AI pilot would be of moderate skill.... such that leaving AI on for a damaged aircraft risked its loss (or a ditch) during landing.
The pilot would not perform critical fuel saving measures.
The pilot would not perform complex ACM. Particularly of any offensive or aggressive nature.
-The aircraft would land and wait 30secs before exiting.
The idea is to give players access to more "action time" by permitting them to up a 2nd ride whilst the first is RTB. Whether it would be just a bomber thing or also open to all aircraft I leave to debate. I can see the advantages re bombers but equally cannot (presently) see any down side to its use with fighters provided some steps were taken to limit the
I think the important point is one whereby it's use only enables more "action" orientated game play without providing an "edge" that would not otherwise be there.

Your intentions of more action time seem good....but I dont think this is the way to do it. Afraid it would just mean a lot of people picking the "afk like" planes while the original pilot is just getting off the ground in his new ride...

Might reduce bomb and bailing. Not sure if I want any AI pilots in the MA. Would be interesting to drop bombs and then reup a fighter and escort yourself home. It might increase bombing activity which might have ripple effects on base taking, strats, radar being out more, etc.

So, can I jump sides and vulch myself?

either some form of Kill shooter or simply a same country COAD limitation would prevent this. Equally the same COAD that stops your gunners inflicting damage on a drone would suffice.

or "cannot switch sides while "drone" is in air". Then you could destroy the drone to switch sides (like bailing out of a bomber), or wait until it lands before switching. :salute

-1 sheesh.
Please, have a little patience, immerse yourself a bit and take the time to land your plane. Completely gamey wish, very disappointing.

This is good solution for those bomb and bail gays too.
If you bail, your planes continues to fly home and someone could shoot them down.
