The most gamey part of AH is the rearm pad, i.e. "sorties" not being each time a plane leaves the ground (as in WWII) but rather forever.  They can be extended almost indefinitely by a careful pilot.  I have nothing against using a rearm pad to...rearm.  Just the abuse of what a sortie is.  :old:

Not even close the the most gamy.

That title goes to the ability to take off again after you died.  I can not think of a single instance in WWII where they allowed a dead pilot to fly.

Pretty sure that was frowned upon.

Would have been cool, though.

Yeah over time you don't get WEP back and the accumulated damage makes rearming a non player

EDIT 2: Even easier, a HotKey that dumps 10% every time you key it.


No.  No hotkey.  I would end up emptying my tanks on accident.   :bhead

Did you know in AH you can set the keys for almost anything?  If you think the default Hot-Key for a new feature is one you might hit...change it.  :old:

Why do you want to dump fuel?

So I can get away from you.
