add on to that medical bils
yea if you get hit and j out it usually doesn’t have full repair cost
its well known that jing out without being damaged causes full repair cost
NVM, It seems I got a little confused. I need to do more experiments to figure that out
so whats the point of J-out? Does it makes any sense reward like, repair cost less, anything except you see a animation of pilot j-out?
It’s used to save time, EX: your b-29 gets into an unrecoverable flat spin, you know that already dead and so you j out so that you don’t have to wait 2-5 minutes to hit the ground.

I believe once you’re severely damaged no matter when you J out it counts the repair cost based off of lifetime so once you’re severely damaged the cost stops going up. I may be wrong though
I do believe it only stops counting once you “die” but I may be remembering how it was before they added severe damage.

Yeah it used to be before SD but I believe it is now once you get caught by Severe Damage. Whenever I get the chance I’ll time my lifespan and see when it counts me as Severe Damage and when it stops counting my lifetime
Me j-ed out from a plane stick with no control wires and no engine: full repair
Me pancaked in the same plane stick with no control wire and no engine: 5min of survive great lets count this as half repair
There is an issue though, if the plane is damaged to the point of being uncontrollable (severely damaged) and flat spinning with both wings gone and i J-out i get full repair cost, but if i sit in the plane for the 1 minute it takes it to sloooowly drift towards the ground and explode i get the time based repair cost.
That doesn’t seem right now does it?
In both cases its a complete loss of the plane but in one i get full repair cost and the other time based repair cost.

you shouldn’t get full repair cost unless you have been in the match long enough for the max repair to be hit.
To be fair, it would make sense for the pilot surviving to cost the player less since pilots usually cost more the train properly than an aircraft is to build.

You pay for the repair of the vehicle, not the pilot.
If your pilot bails, you’re also totalling the plane because its gonna crash.
You get no repair cost if you land on a friendly airfield and J out undamaged
but totaling the plane with the pilot still in it gives you the time based repair cost instead. so less total cost to kill the pilot and the plane compared to just the plane. It doesn’t make sense.

soldiers tend to be the most expendable resource in warzones
so therefore it becomes cheaper to buy a new plane? i don’t know what you mean.
the EXACT same situation but save the pilot makes the plane cost more to repair. how?
(also, pilots and tank crews are among the most expensive to train so not really in this case.)
and landing could be a whole other thing…
When u lands, if you are:
1 undead, repairable on af
1.1 repaired and j-out==0sl
1.2 game ends so not repaired==part rp
2 undead, not repairable on af
2.1 forced to j-out==full, had better not land and just wait
2.2 game ends before j-out==part rp
3 pancaked==time based
And maybe a 4, land out of af and wait for the game to end, but gaijin has ruined most of these conditions
So annoying af can’t just repair everything since, idk when
Pilot lived and was taken to military court and he was sent to Siberia so it costs more to gat him out than getting a new pilot xD
or you can wait for 6 minutes to spiral down to the ground and explode, its fun right!
