Attempting to land a damaged aircraft on the carrier is actually a pretty fun challenge.
Yeah it’s not the most efficient use of the limited game time but who cares. It’s fun and it can absolutely demoralize your opponents. Overall, it is definitely a rewarding mechanic for those who are good at flying.
I bet if I sucked at flying I would hate the mechanic too.
Nice sneak diss buddy… i hate the mechanic because it slows down gameplay and like i’ve said plenty of times i shouldn’t have to take off to destroy a tank that is inflicting massive casualties on our infantry… there i will say perhaps i suck at using AT, ill respond with i just dont bother anymore… a plane is the guaranteed solution.
“Rewarding mechanic for those who are good at flying” Ironically most of the people who make use of it are simply running to the carrier to avoid a dogfight… as people have mentioned it can be used to reset fights which i have done and had happen to me and was a nice change of pace… so i suppose.
Relating this to another poster asking for airfield for all…
I totally understand looking at this from that standpoint and the novelty of taking off… however i will continue to repeat the ramifications this will have in game… and let’s be honest half of this is to slow down plane users because most players grasp onto HE spam for every complaint
Well congratulations… now that tank shelling the chateau is going to be up for that much longer only because you want to further push this stupid mechanic
Now for repairs? Sure… keep it in and like someone has mentioned give it for first take off maybe even avoid the timer in that case.
Forcing it every time? Only slows down gameplay… i kind of forgot this wasn’t veekays post… so pardon the derailment sort of
Yeah that was definitely rude.
I apologize.
Brought that up though to highlight a theory that only two types of people dislike the mechanic.
You know the first. The second just simply being “impatience”. Which does play into what you said about it slowing down gameplay. And you are absolutely correct.
I guess I just don’t mind that it slows things up.
There should be an option though. Just like how paratroopers have a choice.
