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?

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.

If you watch it even more closely when Kevmo is playin in the tower around the end, there is another dev who lands his aircraft flawlessly without having to barely adjust either...

The name should pop-up on the frag list.

You know, because Alf was always eating cats?

Not saying you're wrong, just explaining my train of thought

That was my initial reaction too... then I applied cunning to the linguistics.

I think they just suck at flying.
