It’s nice pulling of a civilian airline Landing from time to time but it’s not valuable to do that on a daily basis
Not to mention a civilian airline Landing would also prohibit any harsh maneuvers to slow down so the entire approach needs to way slower
Yes but if anything just sneezed at you during Battle (a single 7.7 bullet or enemy Ground ai) you are back to the Real hanger
Yes, in that case, just tap J and it will show you if som1 damaged you as it will say “Credit will be given to (x)”
That goes away after a while but it will still give credit and everything.
Tbf, it is rather annoying in something like the f15e which only has the brakes which are not very good.
Hm, one can also perform butterkiss landings after harsh maneuvers in combat aircraft. That’s also what overhead breaks and battle breaks can be used for, if the landscape permits.
I have a lot of experience with the airfields in the Alps, which often intentionally were positioned in the valleys to make attacking them difficult. Similar to what we have in Afghanistan in WT.
But yes, it takes time, and hence is a question of preference/prioroties.
If I could, I’d even prefer to start cold&dark on the plate, and finish the mission there as well. But that’s just me.
Yes, I agree.
Let’s take it mainly as a game and overall, takeoff and landing are secondary, compared to other suggestions on how to improve RB.
There used to be a lot of talk about aircraft carriers and I remember the Norway map where one team had an airfield and the other just airstart… The 3 aircraft carriers that were there were suddenly being used… and there were players who managed to land on the ship in a Spitfire, but logically it’s not an aircraft carrier aircraft, so there was no chance to re-arm…
Then there’s the Guam-Exercise map… there’s an aircraft carrier and an airfield, but most players use the airfield because landing on an aircraft carrier is more challenging and the reward for a good landing is minimal…
So again, it requires a more sophisticated setup for both the land-based airfield and the aircraft carrier… you have an aircraft carrier aircraft, so learn in a test flight how to use takeoffs and landings on board and you simply don’t re-arm on the land-based airfield…
Everyone likes the game setup, a little differently, a thousand people = a thousand tastes…
Hm, DCS seems like very sophisticated simulator, but sometimes it looks like real work, not a game… WOWP is a pretty fun arcade without any major thinking and WT ARB I play with a joystick, even though the mouse is more precise, I just started to get bored with the mouse and with the joystick it’s just… different dynamics of the game…
I always discover players who are unfamiliar with the air brakes, wheel brakes or the elevator to increase deceleration. And then I wonder, what I might be missing too.
Every plane was made to be able to land on that “short” runway, eve plane has its own technic for landing.
F105 you used something fast but it has that parashute so it is possible to land with it.
Every plane has its own landing speed.
So the kye is, right speed and technic.
Learn something about your plane!
Sounds like challenge to find a plane that can’t land on it
Sad we don’t have SR-71 blackbird in the game yet that plane would be a sure bet
needing to taxi to hangars would be an idea^^
That’d actually be a funny thing to have you able to repair faster…
Have fun in the me163
therefore belly landing should come at a huge repair time increase.
IRL you probably even in war would have to do extensive repairs and checks, that go beyond replacing a few parts.
Maybe you ruin the entire airframe
The repair times are already extremely fast.
30 s…
yeah, then you would need a service, that takes time (like another minute of waiting)
You can always find an extrem. But this is about the planes in the game.
I think especially for Sim that would not only be a possibility for a source of rewards, but also very good for immersion.
Make it optional, so people can start cold&dark on the runway (or threshold), but give option to spawn on the plate.
Say you land, you get X SL and RP (like now) bonus. If you taxi back to parking position , you get an additional bonus.
Same with taking off: Starting cold&dark on parking position, you get a small bonus when you reach the runway and take off…
Yes, but it doesn’t apply to War Thunder because this is not a realistic game at all.
If Gaijin actually adds a taxing mechanic instead of using the vertical stabilizer which barely helps the plane turning in ground, then yes, this would be, undoubtedly a good implementation if with proper reward to simulator battles considering the time it would consume.
WT also has differential wheel brakes, one can very well control the aircraft on the ground also with those.
