while it would be a cool feature, i think that this game is too fast paced for such lengthy procedure. you would lose at least 2-3 minutes for landing the plane, repairing and taking it up again.
also idk if it would be possible to land and exit vehicle without getting killed or teleported by gray zone.

Ya cant any ways your out in a gray zone id love to repair my JU188 lol
Supposedly you are able to land the planes in Pacific back on the carrier to get repairs, but there’s 2 problems:
- the planes in Pacific are so terrible they aren’t really worth repairing.
- I don’t know anyone personally that’s actually managed to safely land it on the carrier deck.

I have landed the dauntless the wildcat and the buffalo on the Carrier several times and the sea planes are easy just land on the water and sail to the repair icon next to the carriers.
The planes are not terrible per say but the sea planes do suck they are slow and the IJN on does not have front guns,
I keep advocating limited spawns on planes. The game currently doesn’t encourage using them “correctly” - Suicide is often better than reloading bombs. The game is too fast paced for repairing to be effective, almost ever, as some have pointed out.
Imagine if instead you had (for example) 3 plane spawns per player, and you can land the plane to spawn a different squad without losing it. This way it would be stupid to suicide, trying to escape in a broken plane becomes worthwhile, and fighters have more purpose in their intended role.
I propose this, instead of implementing a strange and slightly immersion breaking repair mechanic.

Personaly I rather alies suicide on Normandy. With all ther dam rockets and all. Hell I rather chase the basterds down with my JU188 then bomb enemys cause its the only plan that acauly kills plans.
It’d be neat to have a mechanic where you can land the plane or fly it off towards an airfield and it will give you a spawn back, but it shouldn’t be able to do that if you’re being chased.

maps could come whit a aircraft base, whit acess only by the pilots itselfs.
that would make it possible to do.

IDK if you are console or PC, but i will say that for console, the default settings for flight are basically unusable for anything more than a dead run. A lot of players don’t seem to know this or at least take the time to change their settings. So putting a limit on it simply is NOT a good idea.

Idk how many people are aware of this, but there is a mechanic they added to the game, where if you land the plane, rather than it being destroyed, you get points, and it returns to your squads faster. (One squad death rather than two.)
The Normandy campaign Axis planes have access to the 30 mm cannons. Don’t get me wrong, the rockets can be strong, but those cannons are absolutely insane!
If pilot could have 2 inventory slots - 1 for medkit and 1 for repair kit - I’d be for it, though, as pointed out earlier - it’s impractical.

If anything that’s an argument for fixing plane controls, not for keeping the suicide crap.

The “suicide crap” likely isn’t done on purpose is my point.

Well i think either to add the repair feature into the supply point, or make a separate point for repairing that is further than the supply point.
Please do not use old discussion instead create a new one
