why? I saved pilot’s ass, so I should pay less

when your car has crash but you survive do you also pay less for repair?

You could have tried to bring it home…
It’s fun and quite rewarding to be able to get home in a badly shot up aircraft.

Sometime, you know you cannot bring it back home. It was on fire and spinning, there is no way to bring it back home.
Yes, exactly my point, and in those cases you get out, fully aware that it’s a complete loss. So full repair cost of course makes sense.
The problem is that is if you choose not to J-out, you pay less

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
