Take your own advice and "reread my post" and the statement that it is referring to.....oh....and the term I think you meant is "whine".
My comment is on topic.
Several folks in this thread have made reference to the ratio of boots on the ground, in comparison to the boots in the air or the boots that are circle-jerking around waiting on a jet.

Yes.....you can do something about it, which was the subject of my post!
If you have 3 people waiting to use one jet, simple logic and 1st grade math would tell you that there is the potential for 6 people to be tied up and waiting for a 2-seater.
I would like to remind you that in this game....6 people equates to an entire squad...all standing around with there pistols out and firing at nothing inside the base.
If you havent seen 6 or more people waiting for a two-seater helo before....you must have just started playing PR last week. It is that common.
So now you have 6 people standing around on a map shooting at hangers, TKing each other etc.
Then when the jet spawns and out of the six people waiting, four of them aren't the two people to get the 2-seater....the remaining four all decide to stand in the path of the jet forcing a team-kill.
Next they all "punish" and then the "lucky" pilot is punted from the server for TKs!
In the process the jet is wrecked because there is no pilot...forcing the entire team (and the game) to suffer having to wait another 20 plus minutes without the much needed air-support!!!

I dont like your idea.
I have posted why.
And it IS on topic.
Get over it.

Do you want some cheese with your "whine"? (You was right about the spelling).

Look's like you need to find a better server to play on. I Have been playing PR on and off for a about a year. And I have seen my share of smaketartdry. But I just go and find a server with admins on. Simple. And no matter what aircraft you have. There will always be a que Can't help that. I Think that if you don't want to see a que for aircraft. Then just play maps that don't have aircraft.

Your argument is **** because right now on Kashan 32 there is 2 Attack HELOs per team. That's 4 pilots + 4 players queing by your math. Sorry, But I very rarely see that kind of numbers queing for aircraft. And as I have stated before. My plan will in fact put one player back on the ground.

If you don't like aircraft maps because of players want to fly them.

THEN DON'T PLAY THEM MAPS.

Real simple.

Now back on topic. [R-DEV]Rhino has stated that is not in the plan at this time. So if any freelance mod maker or coder would like to have a ago at this. I Would love to help in somewhere. Not sure how as I can't code or map make. But the offer is there.

"There are none so blind, as those who will not see" :roll:
You are so passionate about your idea that you are reading what isnt there.

You quote [R-DEV]Rhino as having stated that it "is not in the plan at this time."

But what he said was, "Would be nice to get the "Fighter Bomber" class jets in (the 2 seater jets like the F-15) but I wouldn't keep your hopes up."
Being told "not to get my hopes up" is a lot more bleak than "not being in the plans at this time". But I admire your optimistic outlook! Keep your chin up camper! It cant rain everyday, right!
Keep dreaming son.

[R-DEV]Rhino's stating that you shouldn't get your hopes up more or less says its a moot point.

Why is this thread not locked yet?

There are many many many "cool ideas" for this game. Unfortunately they dont all benefit the entire game.
I love Led Zepplin.
Theres no denying they are a great classic rock band.
Does everyone like them? No.
Were all of their songs number one hits? No.
Because I like them, does this mean everyone else has to like them? NO.

I guess if I was more of a jet spammer, I would dig this a little more.
