Aircraft Armament Stackers, Starters, Trailers, etc in PR

PR can do with a little more attention to detail then how about adding an operable aircraft trailer or armament loader ?, how about adding some aircraft starter carts and armament stacks littered near and around the maps with airports or aircraft carriers ? If it's already been suggested or done before then I'm so sorry :(

Please note that some of the images are taken from games as it's very hard to obtain decent pictures of the actual real thing from the internet.

They can be used only for that cause a drag function is not possible in BF2

those crysis screenshots might be in violation of the NDA.
but a few extra models would definitly make the maps look better.

I don't think that i is a violation of the NDA. Cause it is a open BETA isnt it?

IIRC, there was stuff like this inside of the Iron Gator carrier in SF... would be worth a check...

Would be nice to have the carrier from Iron Gator instead of the standard one

I never thought about that either, good idea!!! The armament loader could be used to transport ammunition to the planes for reloading while the loader can stock up from any armament stacks that you see littered about. Since the BF2 engine can't handle towing the trailer could just be for show and to drive around in for fun :smile: The starter should just be made as a static. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention about aircraft refuelers if PR were even going to implement refueling in aircraft -

But, the thing is, have you ever seen a plane landing in PR or Bf2, they usually get caught by AA and suicide bomb right at the end of their lives, or they just fight to the death.
Yes I have seen planes land, most of them chrashed, and the rest were parked in an awkward way (right in front of a wall)
I really like the idea, but we should make the landings easier.

Its easy to land, problem is,w hen the jet you we're hunting down for 20 mins, appears outta nowhere and kills you on ground.

Not true. Those images were released along with several new gameplay videos.
Edit: I like the suggestion. It makes more sense then getting automatic rearmed.

How practical is this? It is not Armed Assault after all...

Couldn't they work as the support-humvee? Would be interesting.

Better then that bombs magically appear under your wings when standing on a runway.

Well there will always be some degree of magic, because it would require some impossible/near impossible animating I'd of thought. Anyway who would wanna drive the thing about anyway?! Unless we somehow implement some sort of self updating newspaper to read in game or something :p

Reload times should be longer if anything for planes though, doesn't seem to take a very realistic amount of time.

How about also adding an aircraft signalman kit in PR, they could be used to help guide the aircrafts to maneuver on the ground, land or take off in complete safety aided with their own unique voice commands ? -

^ Imho, now that would be a pure waste of effort, only considering the time it would take to make the animations, not to mention the small use it would have ingame. ;)
