Iron and I had an interesting idea tonight. We were talking about rescuing pilots. Here's the gist of the conversation.
There are lots of score hounds in Aces High. Lots of guys will fly 25 miles with a damaged plane to RTB.
So, how about this? If you bail out, it's a capture, right? What if we could pick up downed (but alive) pilots in a c47 or m3?
The goon pilot would earn points for each pilot rescued; the capture would turn into a ditch (or safely rtb) for the rescued pilot.
If a goon pilot goes on a rescue mission, he gets a special c47 which is lightly armed. This c47 would not carry troops or field/vehicle supplies. The gun(s) would be manned by the pilot or the first pilot rescued.
Killing a goon full of downed pilots would earn kills on a proportionate basis.
Finally, not only would this be fun, it would promote civility in the arena (at least on your side.) I can just imagine pilot W at location x.y.z trying to talk someone into coming after him. The guy flying the goon is saying "aren't you the jerk who cursed me last week? No Thanks!"
