Hangar spawn in Simulator

Game Discussion Simulator Battle

As we (may) all know that in Air Simulator battles you spawn on the runway… with the engine off?

It would be quite interesting to see a change where you spawn in a hangar, and taxi to the runway… “Why are the wings coming out, Mav? Mav, this is a taxiway, not a runway. This is a very short taxiway”

in all seriousness it would be really cool, not only that but having the airfield being overhauled with maybe an ATC of sorts, is it a lot of work, yes, would it make the simulator experience even more realistic and immersive, yes

There are obviously going to be people who think “oh this is DCS… it would be annoying” ok then, I agree some of it is more difficult, so why don’t we make it optional, well then it’s just easier to just spawn, but that’s not fun… what are your views…

Would you like to see this added

And for the people who keep arguing, oh it’s so difficult taxiing it would be pointless:

Well the thing is not many people play sim and Gaijin doesn’t want to do anything with sim.

True but it would be nice for a change

I’m sure people would take off straight from the hangar and couldn’t care less about the runway. But if optional then sure if you think someone will use it.

just snap the gear off if they exceed a certain speed on the taxiway/ grass. or for jets suck all manner of junk into the air intake and torch the engine, kick them too hanger if they go to after burner in the hanger and immolate the ground crew… etc etc. it’s not an un solvable issue

That would be a decent idea

Taxiing would be very difficult and unrealistic for a lot of planes, as there is only control with rudder and thrust. Nosewheel planes would not work properly.

So I think that should be worked on first.

No thanks.

Time is money in this game. We already get screwed over enough in Sim, to compensate for the cheaters…

I’ve not yet found an aircraft where taxiing is a problem in WT.

I would like that very much, and discussed it before already on a few occasions.
I wouldn’t make it compulsory, but an option, with a slight bonus in rewards to motivate people.

Many wouldn’t bother - still today we see a lot of players care zero about anything even remotely resembling realistic operations around airfields, even in Sim - but others like I myself actually like to go the extra mile (or however long it takes to taxi haha), immersion being more important to me than rewards.

me too, also have the hangar doors open not just spawn you on the taxiway

would be cool if that was a thing. but i doubt most players have the patience for it.

We also hardly have any control over aircraft when they are on the ground as gaijin hasnt bothered to model that properly so it would kinda suck

Its a lot of fun in IL-2 Great Battles, but I doubt it will work in WT, whith hou control on the ground functions, as you said.

I still don’t understand what the issue with ground handling is. You got nosewheel or tailwheel steering where applicable, and differential brakes.

Never had any issue with it.

it doesnt exactly work correctly tbh

Could be an option, similar to the bad weather option

I agree with @Schindibee its really quite easy even in simulator with things like the buccaneers, harriers and most jets that I have, I don’t understand either why everyone’s complaining

I mean yeah they didn’t really bother with front wheel turning but it’s still easy

To be fair I can see for larger bombers, like the B52 and TU-95 (which some people don’t even know how to land) but it’s just still really easy

I think some peoples will takeoff from taxyway, just like Top Gun 2 movie.

@TheGreatAlonso

I did also think of that is if the runway could be cratered which STILL ISN’T ADDED, you could have an option but you’d have to like idk call ATC and say smth idk

I taxi to the runway in my missions to increase immersion. I’m hoping to see a sequential aircraft systems startup animation to make it even more immersive. However, I understand that this might not be suitable for intense PvP battles.
