One solution to jets: Land to Rearm

Re: One solution to jets: Land to Rearm

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.

I think you're head is in the right place but if everyone had to land to rearm we'd see massive player killing from folks who get run over when landing and taking off.

Slowing down the rearm and repair rate would probably work better. Until they can fix the teamkill bugs that every pilot has to live with no one is going to want to land

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.

Good idea.. But I've already found my own solution to the problem.. I simply don't play on maps with planes anymore..

I'm not gonna wait for EA/DICE to get a clue about gameplay balance with the planes and AA etc while being cannonflodder for all the jetwhores outthere..

Make the reload time longer and slow them down (not too much) so they don't fly so fast.

That should help dumb the planes down a bit.

I'll land my plane to repair if you have to drive your tank back to it's spawn point to repair, and take away the abilty for armor to repair via supply crates.

in a word, on good servers, yes, on gay servers, no. after 3 or 4 reloads/repairs, you will find yourself get auto kicked due to tks.
