but you can normally only have to use half the runway, useful if both have been a bit messed up. also this makes you less vunerable on approach.

Too true. A lot of people have screamed out for a longer runway, claiming it's too short. It's much longer than needed!

What i want is a [how to] on the tornado :P

^^ VERY hard, especially on Brit base:

Here's what I've found has worked, but you'll want to practice it out on training servers h=just to get comfortable.

1. Try and have a marker put on the edge of your runway.
   
2. Come in from the other side of the map, keeping your throttle at 40-45 % (should keep speed at around 800 BF2Units, any slower and you'll stall, and crash.)
   
3. Stay at roughly 100 feet above runway, avoiding all obstacles like hills and trees and such.
   
4. Make sure that when you have a visual on the runway, that you've lined up perfectly or else epic fail.
   
5. Don't cut the throttle until you're about to touch down, in which case cut it immediately, throttling backwards seems to work best and doesn't affect you path on the runway AFAIK.
   
6. Taxi backwards only when you are under a speed of 500 and when you don't need to adjust position on the runway. If you try and taxi backwards while yawing slightly, even with a large forward movement, the results are never what you expected or wanted. This is a real killer on Quiling, but I've never seen it addressed.

Hope this helps!

Because the BF2 engine means that if your nose is up you go up, I'v actually landed on my backwheels once then the front wheel by coming in from a big alt (somewhere around 600) and touching down on the runway when your swooping down, very risky.

No, step 5 works very well. The trick is making sure you don't fall out of the sky before you reach the fence. But in BF2, provided you are going slow enough, the plane falls straight down no matter what.

I find no landing gear helps



that is until you grind your way though the bombs/missiles on your belly

That was in fact a emergency landing I did in DR when me and my gunner where bleeding from chasing a mig outside the combat zone, we got him thou

I dont find it that hard to land the tornado on Qinling but ye, Qinling's runways aint the best.

nice landing

^^ Hehe


Well, at least BloodyGabes and I's attempt to win air superiority weren't lost in too much vain.

At yea, it's just the height of the runway that's the problem, IMO. Even on DR, If so much as one landing gear fell off the already fairly thin taxi lane while doing a steep turn, you wouldn't be able to get back up. THere were several occasions where I fell like that, and had to take off btween the runway and the AA emplacements, and I only had about half as much room because another part of the taxi lane would start again. Lets just say it didn't always end well

hehe, I think you guys got me once when I was diving into a bombing run, maybe more its really hard to tell if its AA or a jet in the tornado since you get no lock tone thou I saw a load of tracers fly past me from behind

I advised UKF to put 3 migs and 1 frog vs 2 EF2000s and 1 Tornado but ye, the change was going to happen then didn't go though

Still, your guys AA gave us one hell of a headache

What i think that we really need longer runways on quinling, on kashan they are fine, but @ quinling the jets are faster, and its hard to land. I land in 800 speed and stil im forced to jump out of the jet to save it from crashing...

Hehe if i remember rightly in the Com match most of ur deaths were from bailing on landing to stop, I hear that, thats the easier way XD
