The Nazi Skies of PS

[Sabinius]

Oh, how our planes are limited

A young mosquito pilot
is flying upwards, at a rate of
LOL AWSOME
And as he goes up, his intercom and little.. head viewer thing turns on
Its the CSR
"Turn back now, or we shall take control of your plane and force you downwards, NO ONE ESCAPES AURAXIS. NO ONE."
The pilot stares at the face in disbeleif
"But, arent you trying to make the game fun? I should be able to go up alot more if the plane system wants to be useful at all"
"NO, WE'RE TO LAZY TO DO THAT, ANYWAY YOUR UNDER ARREST!!!@#3"
At that moment, his plane immediantly dived downward, to his fiery DOOM!

Oh my my, what a terrible trajedy, along wit this...
ANOTHER YOUNG PILOTS LIFE
IS TAKEN!!

Pierre was a young and jubilant pilot, always soaring around, blowing everything up with libs, but never that n00b weapon, the reaver.
As he was flying one day across the dark skies of Ishundar, BLAMPIM!!!1
He was hit! Behind him, a determined mosquito was banging away at the empty tail gunner.
"God damnit, I just filled that up with date rape drugs!"
Pierre then executed a series of complicated flying techiques, a few including a complete front flip, and flying upside down.
Immedianty his intercom blared to life with the anger of a bajillion zeuses.
"What in the HELL do you think your doing sir? Do you just realize you broke the 70-30 degree angle barrier, including flying upside down!?"
"Uhh yeah?" said our confused hero
"You cant friggin DO THAT!!! DO YOU REALIZE THAT WE IMPLEMENTED THAT BECAUSE WE WERE TO LAZY TO MAKE A REAL FLYING SYSTEM??"
"Hey man' lay off!"
That was the last straw for the flight control CSR on the orbital platform, the one no one has ever seen...
"I'm too old for this" Said the CSR as he pressed a gigantic red death button.
Back on ishundar, things were getting hot for our sexy male pilot.
"Whats this guys problem??" The mosquito behind him would not give up, most likely some n00bert exp hungry N00bhammer ralalal.
SHNAPO!! The whole world around peirre immediantly turned into a living hell, the trees, ground and everything on fire. The sky was lit up like a burning corpse pile, and out of the sky, came a gigantic smoldering meteor, along with millions of cute little... devil robots, laughing around it!
Pierre screamed with all his lungs, as he was fried inside his cockpit from the heat, and blown to Jamillion little peices by the meteor. Ishundar was gone.

Take a moment and look at these tragic events! WE MUST FREE OUR SKIES!
Our height limits!!
And anyway, seriously, the height limit is a big disadvantage, for gal drivers, and everything. Even stealth is impossibly with them.
And our mossies should be like.. f-14s or something.

Yeah.

I can't even tell if you're trying to give a story personality, or writing fiction.

Yes, PS's flight system is incredibly bad. They basically did no work on aircraft save for the altitude control, afterburn, and other very, very basic movement alterations. They are essentially just ground vehicles that can move off of the ground. It's disappointing, but I doubt it's going to change.

[Hamorad]

I can image a csr saying that

[Sabinius]

heheh

It's not incredibly bad, just incredibly simple. Makes it easier to control using a mouse

[Peacemaker]

Give me a free flight enviroment and you will not see a single tank moving from Hossin to Hossin. All will fall under the power of my 20mm cannons and rocket pods.


BTW People who rocket spam with reavers are retards. The 20mm > rockets. So An expert in a reaver makes the reaver a non noobie ship. Please dont descriminate.

[Lartnev]

You could probably say that about all weapons, regardless of their ease of use.

BF1942 has an incredibly simple flight system. It's also light years ahead of Planetside's in terms of how enjoyable it makes flying aircraft, fighting other aircraft in an aircraft, and fighting ground targets in an aircraft. I'm not asking for a Jane's flight system, but what we've got right now sucks. It's simply, sure, but it also sucks.

[Lartnev]

Piloting planes in bf1942 was a nightmare. But I haven't played it for about a year.

[AbramsVS]

PS shouldnt turn into fly sim.

Aircrafts only for ground support. And about altitude level? Huh you want gals to start make hot drops from 1-2 miles? Imagine you get 3-4 gals hovering up the base and dropping guys on your head, and you cant even shoot em down

[Sabinius]

But then again, if you CAN shoot down the galaxy, it'll be shot down within two seconds from the five dual AA Bfrs and AV. Its just "MISSLE LOCK MISSLE LOCK" bleeping at 500 per sextillionth of a second.
And reavers and such dont stand a chance.

[Hamorad]

He's right... any lone bfr with dual AA will shoot down ANY aircraft that doesn't move as fast as a mossie with full afterburners.

[Baneblade]

Even a Skeeter at full burn is lucky to escape.
