Hangers

Anychance of getting some re-arm/repair hangers to protect landed planes from rape by the other team?

Preferably with a sort of drive through element so you could enter one end and go out the other, to save reversing and crashing/tk'ing due to not being able to see whats behind you. Everytime i land the SU or A10 to re arm its many many weapons (which takes a long time i might add) i get raped by a fighter jet.

I'm starting to think that bombers are a one shot weapon, you run out of ammo and you mayaswell just crash into a hill because you have no chance of re-arming.

I also realise that in RL planes are exposed on the runway, but usually theres 24/7 AA support and other jets in the air to cover you.

Taxi into the hangers that are already available.

Leave engine idle.

Push forward on the mouse/joystick to roll forwards.

Use rudder to turn.

Pull back on mouse/joystick to reverse.

I'm not sure what you mean?

There is only 1 runway on kashan which is the only jet map i play. So there is no choice where to land.

Sorry i have no idea what you mean, at all whatsoever.

I just want a roof over jets that land so they dont get raped by planes in the air.

Well, wow, like that helps...at least he'll see what raped him from behind then, eh

I support the idea

Not Real life and Makes it easier For the Newbs. You should only fly a Jet if you have Skill, Re-arming and repairing from a Open one end Brick Walld Other Means you must take it slow as IRL no Jet Taxis around at 50mph!
Only Maps Like Kashan should be used for Aircraft now as we need Correct Runway/Hanger Facilitys

I personaly would like to see a seperate part of the airstrip for repairs/rearming as there have been many times I have been wasted by aircraft/HAT because there is another jet hogging the runway..

just hop out of the jet, they cant get a lock, sure they have a gun, but they have to slow down and line up which makes them a good target for AAA

My thoughts exactly. If enemy aircraft can get near an airfield without coming under heavy fire, someone has seriously funked up.

In all honesty, PR needs longer runways and planes that don't take off from 50 feet.

Then we would have 2 km landing strips on 4 km map?
You actually have to line up with the edge of the map, then start slowing down, so you get the the base at speed lower then 1000 Kmph, so you can land and even then, you still got 200 Kmph speed, when theres 25m of the strip left.
Practised on LAN, A10 stopped off the airstrip and bumped the wall, F16 crashed into it like a tin can being stepped on

I support the idea realistic too. Hangers make sense.

Hangers would be nice, you could use them to hang your plane before repairing so you can repair it's belly !

you'll need a hell of a lot bigger of hanger than that for a jet. Biggest hanger ever created you'd need WORLD RECORD.

Anyway Also I wanted to add usually planes are stored in hangers by armies before takeoff never just placed on a runway straight off except on carriers.
