Air base

[Cassius]

I agree that at the very least they would cut down any trees on the airport, not matter how badly they need the airbase, before landing their fighter jets there.

However this is a game and the mapper did it for free, so he should not be bullied into making changes if he really likes how the US airfield has come together. Like others said, in real life in the conflict zone would not be any bases to begin with, just assets to slug it out, unless the combat zone is a small Island or something, like Grenada and the aircraft can not land on carriers.

at first i thought it needed to be redone as i crashed the first two times taking off, but after that i hadn't crashed one time. I think the trees should be removed (some of em at least) and maybe shrink the size of the shrubs on the runway so you can see where you're going easier. the only problem i have flying on that map is the stupid 8 second time allowed outside of the map while flying but I'm pretty sure that's getting fixed anyways

I forgot to mention that i have the landing and take off to a Tee now but when i join the server for some reason my loading time has just quadrupled so i join after all the squads are made and it is annoying when you have quite a good CAS team up but they lose the jet on take off or landing... I mean its not like you would have fallen down trees on the runway like it is on SE

It is made for Germany, so Germany's flight rules might be diffrent.

Their aircraft are still too expensive to risk landing on a really bad runway.

IMO like has been said before, just a few of the big trees need to be removed, there should noly be some grass coming up through the concrete of the main runway

I agree that it might not be 100 % realistic, but on the other hand if that kind of situation happened in RL the US forces would need everything they got as soon as possible and maybe take a dangerous runway into account. Also removing all those bushes would make it a normal airfield again which i definitely dont want. I find that boring. I will look into removing a few bushes and trees that are too close maybe but see it as a challenge Also i never crashed when starting or landing so far and even if im the mapper of this map im not a good pilot really.

This.

There is just no way any jet aircraft would land on that strip. You'd suck in piece of tree branches and they would rip apart your engine, or you'd damage your wings hitting the small trees.

It's a nice map, but that runway is far from realistic. No one is gonna launch planes worth tens of millions of dollars from a $10 runway.

They could use a crappy one.

Well the soviets have like grates in front of the airtakes that allow them to use really bad runways, I think they fold in or something too for after take off.

IIRC the A-10 was created to be used on such low mantained airstrips hence its engines sitting that high up. So I can see it working off that kind of runway, however I am not so sure about the f-16.
