Know how to land? nice. repairs your plane, but also gives the possible risk of getting blown up by those pesky enemy jets who like to fly around your airstrip.

The air repair station (see below) repairs your plane (duh).

The closer you fly to this, the more repairs you will get in one pass

This could potentially save you landing your plane (for the people that can) and also get more repairs for those that can't land.

i don't know about the carrier though...

anyway, hope this helps some of you out

and you better have bought it and not had it copied. the more sales the more likely we are to having a season 2

Ya know.. I always wondered why flying over the UAV trailer as MEC on Oman made you repair faster.... Isnt this repair station righ tnext to the UAV on that map?

Makes sense....

No wonder that in AF when you fly between the hangars you get fixed the most because while flying in the middl that thing is there.

only do this if you've lost less than a third of your health, otherwise land. If you're going to make 3 or 4 passes at extremely low speeds you're more likely to get killed than if you just land properly.

sorry this post is bullshit, no offence to the original post starter.

It is to some co-insidence that the repair areas on most run ways are close to teh UAV trailor, but if you take for example kubra damn 64 as USMC you will find this is simply not true.

There are points on each runway where you will get repaired, also, teh repair rate is constant no matter where you are int eh repair zone, there is no place that you repair faster then other places.

I also thing (although I cant confirm this) that the repair point changes dependant on which way you approach the run way.

FFLink: There is.; +1,380|6945|Devon, England

have you ever done any mapping?

no?

well then. the air repair station is needed for repairsa and re-arming to take place, therefore it does make sense.

and i have also tested it. you can fly pst the runway on the opposite side of the repair station and get minimal repairs, but when you fly closer to it, you get more.

Ive noticed that jets repair more over the hanger on Kubra, not the runway. Maybe im wrong? i don't jet whore much.....

hmm the repair point for teh USMC on the 64 size map is the run way the F18 starts on, its most cases you will not get repaired at all if you fly over the f15 runway, which happens to be teh one the UAV trailor is closer to, hence disproving the original posters theory.

No offence BUDFORCE but that is bullshit. If you don`t believe me fly perpendicular slowly over the 2 runways on Kubra as MEC... Virtually a brand new plane every time ! Now it`s supposed to be a secret so shhh
