Heads up when landing on the roads around GV bases
« on: November 07, 2012, 05:58:44 PM »
I had a little incident in the MA last night and per HTC you will not land a tank on the road like this. Even though I'm all the way on the concrete expect for a little sliver of my right track my turret was not over the direct center of the concrete and I ditched 10 kills on my own concrete. So be careful when landing on those roads. I'd be awfully pissed if I lost a Tiger2 this way.

I've done it over and over and over myself. HTC's email says no, that's a ditch.

Yep.
But I'll add i think pavement should have an area around it that i could land safely,6 inches off a runway should still be a successful landing.

I've never had that problem.  Although, I have frequently ditched out of my vehicle assuming it had come to a complete stop ontop of concrete when it was still slightly moving.  Film would show this where a screen shot won't.  I've avoided this recently by counting 1-Mississippi before ending the sortie and after comming to a complete stop or what I think was.

Find out what base it was and try to reproduce the result.

Then try it at another V-base. You may have uncovered a base-specific bug.

I've never lost a plane or a vehicle on a landing on that type of road.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

I enjoy landing a thoroughly shot up plane with missing u/c and a pilot wound, half a wing and elevator and stab missing , only to slide 1/2 inch off the edge of the field for a "you have ditched" :banana:

Had this in both planes and vehicles. Usually where some concrete by a hanger or object crosses the road, and sometimes when the local object is destroyed and has scattered debris.

I am just ultra carefull now not to do it near debris, not to have have the ac/gv half on a road and half on some other concrete and make sure all my wheels are on the surface of choice.

Had the same issue in towns where the road is near the edge of town.
