Major aircraft issue.

Purple · 2012-06-01, 07:15 PM

it has become clear to me after all the vids so far that aircraft are impossible to land safely. in the GDC Higby almost had it but it fell off the landing pan and proceeded to blow up. in this last stream a Reaver landed but got lit on fire.

i would like to see a stressful landing at some point. good luck to the devs.

If you aim well, it lands on enemy soldiers before taking fire...

I wonder if there will be autohover, autoleveler, etc...stuff that makes it easy to go for a quick whizz on the way to the target?

Guys! We've got a problem here.. i have been going through the standard battle training handbook and still cant find out what the hell a "landing pan" is! :P

Though I doubt it's so hard to do it's impossible to learn it is an amusing thing you pointed out that all the footage we have seen so far is essentially people crashing aircraft lol.

I think they just suck at flying.

But he still took damage though, which i hope the red splash on the sides of the screen wern't his aircraft taking damage. Because i have not seen a damage free landing yet.

Ha my favorite part was when Kevmo was showing off the tower and you see that Gal fly by like "hey whats up check me out." Next thing you know you see the thing roll over and nose dive into the ground. I thought that was hilarious.

I've seen vids of mossie/reaver safely landing on air tower's pads twice now I think.

edit: Arclegger's post must have something to do with the Da Vinci Code.
