Or maybe Krenzo decided not to release 2.0 before all the aircraft are added and completely tested ...
Remember, kiddies... emp_recruits don't care how much jeeps cost and drive their team to ruin with them. They'll be SO MUCH WORSE about that with aircraft.
Ha, imagine someone ejecting, falling down at tremendous speed, right into 1 inch of water, and walk away unharmed. You gotta love the Source engine.
the anti-eject argument could be applied to vehicles too. if you dont want to be able to leave a doomed airplane, why should you be able to leave a doomed vehicle?
Because a vehicle has more trouble getting to distant places. You can't fly over mountains to get to a place quickly. No, you need to go through several mined chokepoints filled with turrets, grens and other vehicles first. By the time you've breached the first line of defenses that vtol flying above you has written his name in the sky on nine thousand places already.
think if it like this: your tank gets to 0 health: you die your airplane gets to 0 health: you're GOING die, except you get to watch in first person as your plane goes down and exploads. then, adding to the gameplay, if you're LUCKY you can steer the aircraft to safty. why should all pilots get the ability to jump out of their dead vehicle, while tank drivers can't?
its impossible to even argue this damn thing logically since this argument is about a suggestion, not something in the game. the public have yet to use the planes, or even know the mechanics.
killx we are discussing here a proposition to put forward to krenzo. what's the point in discussing anything here if "who cares lets see what krenzo puts in then bitch about how it's wrong"
Thank you Private Sandbag. Empires is still a beta. Krenzo is not a communist (I think) and will not have you banned, ninja'ed, and executed for voicing your oppinion (I think). IF YOU PUT PARACHUTES IN THIS GAME YOU HAVE BECOME EA!!!
Yeah but this is suggestion and aircrafts are in far future so I think it isn't the time to discuss features in the sense that they must be decided now and get locked on.
I think we should have a pilot class, that way you wont have people takeing paper planes, flying over a base and bailing out.
Or at least the class which you are playing on will change to pilot class when you enter an aircraft and stays as that until you change it. That way you could also pick up aircrafts left on the field and you wouldn't need to run all the way back to an armory or barracks to change your class just to be able to fly that airplane.
Its going ot be a problem again, certainly with n00bs and, if paper planes are cheap enough, with normal players too. Becomeing a pilot class, like weed sugested, when you get into a plane and then having to goto a armory or flag to change back would fix that.
