Ahhh boy.... here comes back the J out bois that will camp the AF for all eternity

[Wolf_89 2,381]

Good to see that we again can land and change our ammo/ordinance.

Sad to see people now can camp on AF again and hide in the spawn menu :/

so?

Let them sit there - enemy that is on AF can't win games
And if the can - blame mission design.

The mechanics was absolute trash and I am happy it got fixed. mid-air.. sure. I'd even say that crashing into ground should give kill to nearest enemy as well (manoeuvre kill) - at least if there is only one enemy nearby but not being able to switch plane or armament w/o getting killed was just stupid

I've just experienced this, and it's good!

[Stavroforos 13,955]

Good change, hopefully the whole mechanic gets some serious reworking as it causes more issues than were originally there by bailing players.

Thanks for the fast fix. Was gonna complain about this but you guys were faster.

Does this mean you don't have to be fully repaired before bailing out...in other words, you can bail out even if damaged, and not give credit to the player that damaged you?

[BleedingUranium@live 1,090]

Beautiful! This was the only issue with this fantastic change, and it was fixed nice and fast!

 

I'd love to see mechanics to prevent repeated J-outs and/or sitting on the airfield too long, and also kill credits for nearby crashes / wing rips, but the J-out fix in and of itself is now perfect.

[Maerok 665]

WOW

 

swift action thank you!

 

(the previous update still caused a lot of other pains, and I'd still vote for rolling back completely, but this was definitely the biggest problem with it)

Yes, but you will get a repair bill

[totonz 107]

Can you do the same "fix" for when you land on a random field?

 

Before 1.89.1.162 you could land wherever and eject without being credited with a death (if you weren't damaged, of course). Now we can't do it anymore because you will give the kill to the nearest opponent.

I think the best way to implement this would be to bypass the process of crediting the kill to the nearest opponent after the "Landed" message have appeared
