Repair wish
« on: May 14, 2013, 08:27:04 PM »
a  wish i had is  to have a repair pad on  a airfield, Like the Re-fuel Re-arm Pad, But with the Repair pad you would have to wait 2mins-4mins, Or whatever HT thinks would be best :rock
My name is Talin555 and if you get shot down by me, You should slap your self, Because i am not the best at  fighting.

Quick repair. Give the crew chief 12 hours.

From the looks of things, it looks like he thinks you should get a new plane.  :D

I can't find it right now, but I think he said something along the lines of if he ever did something like that then the repair would end the flight and start a new one.... just like getting a new plane. So there would be no advantage/difference to have it repaired.

Not to mention there is a huge difference between an engine with a simple oil leak and an engine with battle damage.
I was an A-10 crew chief for nine years. I thought I'd seen just about every screwed up thing on an aircraft from
FOD in an engine, blown hydraulics, bird strikes, you name it. Then we got to the first Gulf War and had aircraft with
actual battle damage.

Maintenance issues like oil leaks and battle damage are two complete different animals. Pilots
don't sit in their aircraft on the hot pad with battle damage waiting to be repaired. Battle damaged aircraft don't
see combat again in a couple of minutes or a couple of hours and usually not even in a couple of days.

30 seconds.. No but we could knock out a combat quick turn in less than 30 minutes with the pilot out of the aircraft and engines shut down. We could hotpad refuel and re-arm with
the pilot in the cockpit and engines running in about 15 minutes. This was fuel and bombs only. If the aircraft needed ammo then the pilot would get out
and we did the normal combat quick turn.

I'll call your rearm and refuel and raise you an average joe who can INSTANTANEOUSLY repair and rearm GVs.

No, he does it anywhere, anytime. His specialty is battlefield repairs out of his rolling drydock. Cannon rounds got you down? He can repair you back to 100% BETWEEN 75mm strikes to your turret.  :D

WAIT~  I GOT IT>    We should just have balloons that have supplies tied to them. c47s can drop them around the furball and we can fly through them to repair and rearm. Then we can forget about these dumb ideas of repair on base.  :rolleyes:
