Would You rescue Your Fellow Countryman?

[SFRT - Frenchy]

Although the idea is great for scenarios, I'm not sure it will be practical in the MA. I don't see the average arena man, sit and wait for a goon at least 10 minutes, assuming that the goon didn't got shot down.

Now maybe if u got a 5 kill run or more, then people will be whilling to do the trip or wait.

I'm not getting pessimistic, I think it's what will happen.

I think its a great idea.  I just hope it doesnt bring out the chute killers.

[Grinder]

YES!

[maik]

Good idea, so YES!

Yep Grunherz there are similar stories for Allied fighters. Quite a few guys went home on the lap of their squaddie.

And we all know how much fun that is, don't we?  

[DR00]

This would be a great addition.

Great Idea...would also give dual use if we add "spotting" planes for artillery.

Ive read accounts of 47s, 38s, 109s, 190s picking up buddy behind enemy lines...
If a 109 can do it..anything can do it.
Problem is the ac is severly hampered in that state. How would the manuverability of the AC be modeled with buddy on your lap. Also neither can wear his parachute in that state so no bailing once you have done it..

I'm fer it!  We've had a blast doing simulated rescues.

One of the best ideas i've heard.

Yes i whant this  !!!!!
It can give some new aspect on game

[rust]

I've been wanting this feature for a long time.  Any plane should be able to rescue downed airmen with a consequential handicap in performance.  I doubt it would start people chute shooting.  Instead, I think enemies would circle waiting for rescuers to vulch.  So a rescue operations might involve some cover.  I think it would encourage more cooperative missions.  It would add an element of combat totally ignored by other sims.  Do it!

 I think it's a cool idea, and hope to see this feature in the near update. But as a complete newbie(or a pony dweeb? what's the difference between a dweeb and a newbie? I'm curios) I'm afraid somthing like this...  


Runstang: Help! I'm downed again, SE of A16, 1 mile.
Someguy : What? you again?
OtherOne : Hey, I rescued him just 5 min ago!
Someguy : Don't waste my time, just hit .ef dweeb!  


......or suppose the plane just rescued some other pilot and vulched by enemies waiting by the downed pilot. Now two pilots wating for a rescue, if same thing happens again, it will be three, four, and on and on to become long line of pilots waiting for the ride like a bus stop.


 Don't mean to be sarcastic, just curios about it.

P.S. : Anyone know good squad for a P51 newbie to join?

..but the guy would of course have an option to exit and get captured instead.
or get his scores saved by waiting for that 10 minutes.

Definately gets my vote. And I think it a successful rescue should be 'rewarded' very well, be it with points, or some other 'perk', it would no doubt be a difficult task the majority of the time in the MA, as it should be.
