It is ok to Parachute out in BFE, but if you ditch your dead?
It would seem that if they can make it so you respawn in a safe zone when you parachute out you should be able to ditch and do the same.

You actually should be able to land it on airfield, so you could repair your plane or leave it to play as infantry.

That would be nice

I especially hate this because I die by greyzone, someone gets a kill for me and the aircraft kill all because they did some damage and despite you safely(ish) landing you suffer because lame greyzone.

I’d love to see airstrips, airports, carriers in the game eventually for repairing, rearming.
Cool in theory, but ultimately unfit for this game I’m afraid. Someone may be doing it, but in such a fast paced game by flying to an airport and landing, thus spending quite some time far from the action, you hamper both your team and your xp gains.
Almost everyone would be still just jumping or crashing.
If you’re be able to take your plane again whenever you want instead of waiting for 2 spawns, then no.
Half Year ago, some Peoples was against Parachute.
That’s yet another counterargument tho. A single dude would monopolize a plane slot for a whole match.
So what’s the difference to what happens now?
Well, yes, technically a single dude can already monopolize a plane slot for a whole match, but at least now with air resupply that’s more productive than spending most of the time flying back and forth from an airport (landing and taking off is a time consuming matter).

Better then Kamikazeeeeees
There are already airfields on maps that are much closer then the resupply points.
It’s not just distance. Try actually landing on one, which means flying to a proper position to be aligned with the strips, approaching at slow speed, touching down, lcoming to a stop (optional: waiting for reload time like in WT), then takeing off on your own power (which takes quite some speedup time with overloaded, underpowered attackers) and climbing back up to battle.
Pretty sure that takes way more time and effort than afk pointing your cursor to point X in the sky and turning back once reached.
I am aware that landing a plane takes time and skill. I am still completely in the camp of adding airstrips to the game. Heck, it can even be seen as a “nerf” to strong planes that some players complain about.
Or, just cicle 3 planes like I do when I m bored to death.
Look, I agree it COULD be done, the point I’m trying to make is that it would either:
- Be optional, and then it would be totally useless, because almost nobody would be bothering to land;
Or,
- Be mandatory to rearm, and that would pretty much mean officially endorsing and promoting suicide runs as the only form of aviation in game.
Because in such a fast paced game, where no action means no reward and people barely halts 15 seconds to build essential strategic stuff like rally points, who the hell would be spending 2-3 minutes away from the battle to rearm a plane after every run?
I would land if it were optional, to repair my plane
What happens in Normandy? Should Americans try landing their A-20s on aircraft carriers in the channel or fly back to England?
They should change this tbh. It’s literally the same outcome.
