OK, I'm full of noobs taking helicopters/jets without any ideia how they are importants and blowning up it just a few minutes (sometimes a few seconds) after taking off.
The problem:
Yesterday, playing in Oman I got the cobra with a friend and we won the game beacause we knew how to pilot. Ground forces helped us marking targets. But we watched 2 cobras being lost in the most stupid ways. The first one was in the begingin of the round, a lonely guy took the cobra, took off and we saw it desaper from the map. The second one, we were on the carrier resupling and we saw the other cobra making a flip-over and falling in the water. And I wont even talk about the ammount of weckred hueys over the carrier
A possible solution:
After yesterday, I started think "what could we do about it ?" I came to a conclusion, giving a second chance for aircrafts. How does it work ? Give a code to these special air assets that if it is lost in a minute or two, it will spawn in a shorter time than usual. The players are hardcoded, but I belive that this action for the game is not.
Readers tweaks:
Masaq remembered us to make the code able to distinguish a crash from a TK, because a smart smacktard could put a C4, blown the vehicle and get it with the shoter respawn.
Other good point from Masaq was the idea of increase the respawn time for the bad pilot, so the aircraft will respawn first than the player.
But markonymous gave a better idea, insted of increase the spawn time, make the messer unable to request the pilot kit for a looong time.
