One solution to jets: Land to Rearm

[Fall0ut]

I'm seeing so many complaints about the Jets.

If I were one of the gameplay programmers at DICE, this is what I would have done. I would just simply make aircraft pilots land their jet on the airstrip or carrier to rearm.

It would solve three things.
-decrease the amount of noobs taking airplanes because they would need to land it to rearm which they will not be able to do (although they may still take them to go kamakazi)

-The ground units could worry less about getting bombed every 30 seconds because the pilots will be slowed down

-The pilots of the round won't be in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd places anymore because the slow down will decrease their K/D ratio

I'm a BF2 pilot myself, and this is what I would like, because it gets old when I can get about 30-0 on average every time if fly and about 50-0 when I go for the enemy aircraft carrier. I play alot as ground forces too, so I know how it feels.

it will never happen. everyone will whine because that might require them to practice for 5 min.

Its not that hard, but it would bring people's k/D ratio down, and make them save their bombs for high priority targets like tanks, instead of "everything that moves or might move."

They wouldnt stand for it, first poster to say "whiner" or something alike gets a cookie.

Don't tell us, tell EA.. I agree though. Landing is easy and only slows down the pilot for a few extra seconds... Although it does make the jet vulnerable to air or ground attack, but that would make life interesting..

Have you seen landing ever done? The runways are in tardy places like next trees or you just fly into a mountain. The only thing I can land is the F35 by hovering. And im not a bad pilot, perhaps if we had airbreaks it would be easier to land.

Landing is easy... you just need more practice...

The only time it is a little difficult, is when the plane only has maybe three red bars left... then hard touch downs will explode the plane.

Now thats a good idea, when u got a jet on your tail, just put on the airbrakes, push your nose up and watch him wizz by, then shoot him with Missile*


*missile- a flying object launched from a plane or ground that misses its intended target and goes fo your own helicopters :evil:

Airbrake si GOOD though!!

The S (reverse key) works.. :p

Re: One solution to jets: Land to Rearm

Getting killed by the enemy while landing will be the least of your problems. The same idiots that jump in front of your plane while taking off will leave equipment on the runway so you'll crash into it. Landing would cause more headaches then anything else.

Re: One solution to jets: Land to Rearm

I can land. The major issue in landing is simply letting off the "gas" to get down. I've landed on all the bases and the aircraft carriers. Just have to learn and practice. :)

Thats true, but finding a uber good server would fix that (tacticalgamer #1) for example. Not as easy of course, but personally dont mind.

Requiring landing wouldn't help. Pilots like PW can ace everything in the game, except for tanks, with the cannons.

It would help a little, the final blow to the evil jets ruling would be WORKING stingers.

Re: One solution to jets: Land to Rearm

problem with landing is dumb noobs get in the way and u land on them and then they punish you it wouild be dumb if noone can take out the jets in the air oh well dont see anything wrong with how it is

Re: One solution to jets: Land to Rearm

Good idea. Make them land. I was on Dragon Valley one day and these two jet losers were making the circle from the chinese airfield to the wood yard which is about a 10 sec round trip. It was our only spawn point and they were just raping us every 10 secs. I left that lame server in no time.
