    Why No Aircraft Maps?

    I'm relatively new to |TG|, and I'm wondering why aren't there any maps in the rotation with planes. Just a simple question, thanks. (:

    Because there are only two in the whole of PR, and they can get repetitive.

    Don't worry, the maplist is changed pretty often. Those maps will be in there sometime.

    Try playing on a practice sever. You will have a good time on Quinling or Kashan with out the 20 minute spawns and people will not hate you if you do crash the asset

    I don't really think he was intending on learning how to fly .. more that he knew how and was disappointed that he never gets the chance to because no flying maps are in the rotation

    Just my interpretation though, correct me if I'm wrong, o Dead Stick.

    Yea, there are only TWO maps in all of PR that include fixed wing aircraft. Kashan Desert 64 layer and Battle for Quinling 64 layer.

    They do make it through the rotation every few weeks, stick around and you're sure to see those great big metal birds doing their thing through the wild blue yonder.
    BF3 is a good game, and when they finish it, it may even be a great game.

    I think there was a new map list in the last day or so that was - no plane.

    I am sure it will change soon, don't worry.

    Re: Why No Aircraft Maps?

    Even if there is an aircraft map it doesn't qualify as part of the game until the pilot can last in the game for more then 15 mins.

    I noticed on arma you cant fly the plane or heli till you actually gain tickets through doing something useful on the ground. I quite like that because in pr if a pilot crashed he'd have to go and be useful again before having another chance


    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have obviously failed to plan properly.

    Yeah, I'm an experienced pilot. No worries about me practicing on the server and crashing on the runway.

    I was just asking because when I played on some other servers, a lot of people hated those types of maps because there was asset whoring and a bunch of fights about them. I was wondering if there was no aircraft maps because of that reason.

    The fighting does occasionally happen, but not very often around here. Every time I play a map I usually try doing something different or doing whatever everyone else isn't doing, but I'm not saying I don't enjoy flying.

    Especially hydra hueys. Love those

    Re: Why No Aircraft Maps?

    I think bad use has a knock on effect where people greatly dislike that map. Its not because the map is crap but the gameplay turns sour when jets dont fly, theres no cas squad and the whole map becomes far too 'big'. It gets boring, Im no fan of kashan but properly done its great.

    In the same way its harder to screw up an infantry map, no one player or asset has much influence and the gameplay is small and easy

    Insurgency maps are my favourite especially as insurgent because its very rough and ready or dynamic tactics, bigger maps have more planning and easily fall flat for the reasons above

    Right now I go play arma instead of kashan, that whole game is giga


    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have obviously failed to plan properly.
