My point about using the Cv reverse method was to simulate the Tow Truck pulling planes out of the E pen.  Just trying to make it look easier on HTC to do it but somone said he has said no in a simular thread about repairs.
it is not about what kind of plane... it is where you are.

show film with no arena wind going "back" on a land runway.

the reason you throttle up a tiny bit is to disengage the wheel locking brakes. those are what stops your plane from sliding off the deck when the CV is turning, or sliding off the back too. when you bring the throttle up past a certian point the wheel brakes go off in all planes.

just letting you know the facts.

Mustaine is correct. AH has a mechinism that auto brakes you when moving very slow realitive to the surface you are on. Advancing the throttle disengages this mechanism. Hence the drag of the plane from the wind will push you back when on the cv. Or if you bring up the wind off line, it would do the same thing when on the land.

It will cause the kills per sortie numbers to get all out of skew.


 Not if every rearm/repair is counted as a single sortie. The kill streak will be maintained until one finally lands, and the landed kills message should show all the kills one made before officially 'landing'..  but on score count each rearm/repair would be counted as an end of a sortie and a start of another.

 Problem solved.

They are called hangers............. and you have to wait in the tower while its fixed................


 But Tilt, you gotta admit that adding repair points on the field would make a lot of people taxi around - and seeing planes taxiing to position on the field, just can't be a bad thing IMO.
