    i have a question/proposal. as for now new planes are only available on big F for the first month - i love this idea - but - if i take a newly introduced plane, fly it through a battle and land safely on any other of my country's fields it dissapears & still is not availble there... Therefore i can't simply take a spit V in April 41, go to an F thats closer to fight area - land to refuel - and go & fight. I think such possibility would bevery nice to introduce... It would make us take more care & watch for our beloved machine which we had to bring from a long distance...

    Would it be possible to have a dot command that allows you to be refueled and rearmed if you are in the plane and engine off?

    Then you can only use the plane you flew to that field.

    I'm not sure how good an idea that is, really. That could affect game balance in unpredictable ways. IF it takes some time to do the refuelling/repairing (ie. 30-45 secs), then it might not be a bad idea, since nobody is crazy enough to land in a strip under attack and sit there to repair.

    Otherwise, it really is better not to even consider it.

    Hmm, in that case I don't see why not, unless there is some FE-Server communication limitation (it might not be possible to the server to tell the FE to reload...).

    Yup, parking for, say, 15 seconds on runway to refuel&rearm sounds good!

    Or it may depend on amount of fuel, bombs, etc. you want to load.

    it's safer to dump the plane and grab another one... 15s on a field under siege is suicide [​IMG]
