Title: please model pilot fear -> auto bail
Post by: ccvi on May 10, 2002, 09:57:00 AM

If a plane is completely unflyable (on fire, complete wing or both stabs missing and in a spin), model pilot fear please and let the pilot auto bail.

This would prevent most occurances of kill stealing :)

How about if drex gets within 1500 yards of a plane, the autobail code takes over?

didn't the germans have an "auto bail" feature late in the war that automatically ejected pilots whenever U.S. planes got too near?   I believe it was an invention of Kurt Tanks.

Eh lazs and most Russian planes burst into flames when a German planes came from above up until 1944 so who knows eh?

Maybe it was a design feature to combat the harsh winters making their pilots extra tasty crispy. Who understands it anyhow?

Yeah, how'm I supposed to repeatedly shoot Drex down if I'm bailed out?  I strongly oppose this "feature!"  :D

Just close your eyes, leviathn.  I hear you can make anything possible when you do that. :)

Good idea... then I can find you just by listening for the girl-like shrieks of fear coming from your general direction.  :)

Leviathn:

As everybody knows, drex sucks.  If you have to seek him out to get kills....  well maybe you're pretty drexy yourself.

Fear can paralize just as well as cause one to run away.

And just because the plane is damaged beyond being flyable, doesn't mean one can bail.

The canopy may be jammed, or the plane may be tumbling or spinning violent causing disorientation and loss of consciousness.
