Proposal for adjusting S&R rules in future scenarios

[artik]

S&R is one of the most interesting concepts in scenario:



Really this is blast... (especially since I brought it first into AH Scenario    does anybody remember Kadesh?)

One thing I noticed during BoB is actually lack of penalty for for leaving the aircraft behind. S&R is so efficient (MAX is doing great job) such that withing 2-3 minutes you are at your home base. And if you bailed over any friendly base or landed there, you get back even faster. The T+60 rule
does not help much as most of battle goes at T+50 or so and afterwards it is immediate.

I would suggest following:

1. S&R aircraft, jeep or boat should get back to the base after collecting bailed pilots - I mean pilots should ".join SARID" and land with them
2. If you landed not at your home base you need to do a ride back to the squadron from the base you landed at, using a personal transport like Fi 156 and fly to the home base

This way you have more realistic delay between bailing out and actually being able to fly again.

Back in Kadesh the (1) was actually applied but was rather complex, but the (2) would be actually fun.

Hey Artik <S> I remember Kadesh.

The problem I have with #2 is that 609's base is A39, and last frame was so far from the action that if took too long just to get back in the action. add to that the time to fly a Storch back to the A-39 from say, Dover or A-42, THEN re-up, well... Couldn't it be concievable that we could grab an extra plane from a base nearer to where we bailed?

I like the idea of #1, #2 I think pushes it a bit too far.  The only problem I have with #1 is with PT boats, how do you know you are back where you started?

Maybe use PTs boats only for Axis. Once the PT boat pulls alongside the pilot he is free to reup his Emil or bomber.
