Reload rate on jets

[Jaeron]

OK so this will probably **** off all the pilots here but I think that there should be some sort of delay in reloading bombs at the airstrip. Right now, as it stands, they can bomb your flag, fly back and reload and be back in time to bomb you again as soon as you spawn.

Ideas:
1. make landing a requirement to reload bombs (flyby can rearm missles and guns) I know this would suck because of TKers
2. have a rearm timer at the airstrip similar to the artillery timer (possibly even a missle depot next to the airfield that can be taken out like normal assets)

I also like that idea about a pilot kit. give them a knife, pistol, and a spiffy flightsuit... nothing else. this would keep the stupid TKers from taking this kit and using the jet/chopper as a one way taxi

ok flame on...

Re: Reload rate on jets

I won't flame. I will just suggest you play a map without airplanes. The answer isn't nerf. Its do something else for awhile.

Re: Reload rate on jets

LOL... no make it so that there are only as many pilot kits as jets and choppers...

It isnt really a nerf... its making it more realistic
and usually I try to avoid jet maps because of this but it gets boreing playing the same maps

That sounds like a respectable idea. Just the way there is only one commander, there should be a limited amount of "pilot-kits" which could be made vacant when the person occupying that kit switches kits. I know most will flame for this suggestion but I think this would make TKing for wings a non-issue. Just my two cents.

No... that would only work if there was a licencing system or "rank" for vehicles... the same way there is for commander.


otherwise you will have complete ****ing retards filling the vehicles at all times... the whole damn round.

LOL Get into mobile AA, that thing ****ing rocks the **** out of planes.

When I'm looking for some real fun I go fooling around in mobile AA, trust me, if you can outsmart the pilots you will get tons of free kills.

Re: Reload rate on jets

I have another thing to say...


When a jet drops bombs, it isn't "random". He has some idea that there are at least a couple of people in some area... either by the UAV... commander... or a teamate.

If you are in a big group of people, don't blame it on the jets bombs reload rate! It's just like arty... if you hang in a big group... don't bitch when you get killed by it, because it'll happen.

Although I wouldnt mind like a meter or something you need to fill.. like... you need to spend x amount of time over the runway, either above it or on it, to reload.

This proves that you have spend 0 hours in a jet, which makes your suggestions pure whineage, making your suggestions worth nothing.

Serious, you want the jets to land, not a bad idea. Have you ever been baseraped the entire round so you cant take off? Jets are as voulnerable when they are on the ground as you would be with zero ammo, zero skills, stuck in a wall at Hotel facing a tank. Please, think before you suggest something. Think if its better for you personally, or better for everyone. The lack of air support and enemies air suerpiority is purely the fault of the lack of pilots on your team, or you not being on chinese side with F35B on your side.

By far the best suggestion so far was made by Wargimp, who draw parrallels with Americas Army, go find it. Find where you lack in your brains.

You guys are ****ing me off, instead of making some good suggestions, you just want everything nerfed down so bad that you can recreate your own little Karkand on every god damn map.

So true, jets can't get visible contact with infantry before it's too late so the only way to take them out is to guess, by either bombing an outpost or a UAV lit up area.

Thats why pure infantry players never get it, they have never played with jets.

They dont know the pilots perspective in order to avoid being shot/bombed. Its partly their own fault.

A pilot doesnt aim at you when youre on foot. he usually aims at tanks/APCs (things that show up on the HUD as a green box) or at flags (remember that), center of control points (open areas in bases), and rarely, they actually see a squad moving over a field and they come over for a pass.

Like arty, you should fear for jets when youve neutralized a flag.

Like Metallica said, its not random. Start playing smart and youll avoid death by jets.

Actually, they are great suggestions--make it take a ton of time to rearm--perfect!! Make it so jets can actually be destroyed-as they sit on the deck being rearmed--PERFECT!!!

You are just ****ed because these ideas would actully stop all you jet whores who rape and circle bomb and RUIN the game!!! Go for it E.A/DICE--balance the game!!!!

I would also like to add more AA--that they planes can't see or lock on to , as well as plane respawning before the pilot so that others can get the plane.

Actually it is you and your kind the are ****ing me off because ALOT of players actually want to stop your point grabbing lame arse circle bombing, base raping indestructible B.S.

Re: Reload rate on jets

99% of the time its not safe to land. when it is tho i will do it as doing 30 passes of the runway to repair a plane kinda takes the ****. strange how you dont know that........ not to mention griefers who will tk you, even blow up the plane so they get a chance of getting it when it respawns.
a plane rearming still isnt safe, thats when i get a good amount of kills on people...

so i feel your a whiney ****ing baby like everyone else wanting more nerfs, without realising they are bad enough already.

a pilot kit.. ? well thats not all so bad, but when a pilot bails he has nothing to defend himself with :| a pilot kit should be a copy of the medic kit and a limit of them for the amount of aircraft. but then whats to say a nub joins the server before a good pilot and the kit is taken? that will cripple the team even more.

you need to have experience and use your brain a little.....

Re: Reload rate on jets

pilot class will NEVER be added to the game. why reward people who can load a map faster than others?
