I wish for a change to the re-arm pad. I would like the programming changed so that if you have any damage, even just one bullet hole in your plane, you would not be re-armed. Pull up to the pad, stop, it either starts the 30 second re-arm or gives you a message, "You have been hit, re-arm is not available".
Why?
1. to make it a bit more difficult to get a re-arm.
2. to make it a bit more realistic. I doubt very much if an aircraft would have been re-armed if it had damage in real life. Even one little bullet hole. There would be internal damage that would have to be inspected and repaired to certify the aircraft was flight worthy.
Who would it affect? Guys like me who do re-arm, so I am not suggesting this to change only how others play as it would certainly make a difference on my ability to re-arm also.
