I think they just said that to hide their Indiana Jones inability to land aircraft.

Trees were sometimes the bane of my existence in Planetside 1... now I have to fear canyon walls too.

*puts on bike helmet* let's do this.

I'm looking forward to jumping on my ATV off a canyon wall in an experiment to determine the TTK of a Flash(?) on a Reaver. All in the cause of balance-checking 'yunderstand?

I'll be there in my scythe to lead him to you, mate!

Landing does look like it will take some skill to do so without damaging your aircraft, which is good as it encourages people to either become good pilots, or not fly.

As for planes being heavily disposible... I think not. From what I've seen air vehicle pads seem rather few and far between, (the devs almost always flat out SPAWN their aircraft in the videos I've seen.) making it inadvisable to use them as throw-away planes unless you like walking a lot.

My main concern is that the Sythe may be ...well it's going to be scary manuverable. From the dual commentary footage I can easily envision a good Scythe pilot getting up inside the tech plant area and wreaking havoc.

Crashing didn't stop people in BFBC2 trying to fly a helicopter then crash into a building after 2 seconds. People don't learn, but that will solve its self because A) we have to spawn our own vehicles and thus can't steal other people's vehicles and B) People will run our of resources quite fast. But having a training ground for flying would be very helpful, because i don't think in any BF game, have i seen the campaign teach me how to fly. So thats why most people suck. :

I suppose you could learn to fly in the foothold bubble

And definitely with the ability just to buy another on spawn will really help people learn to fly. Oops i crashed... 15 seconds later new ship. Also without 10 people all spamming E at the same time.
