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
