BF2S Forums Is it just me or do some airfields seem to give bombs faster?

i think it has something to do with a crate near the airfield that makes you resupply faster if you fly near it.

Hmm that does seem to hold true on Oman, perhaps it has to do with the fact the MEC force have a bomber, and needs to reload faster then the F-35s.

It's the same on kubra, its just because there are 2 runways right next to eachother...

What about the carrier on wake?

The loading and repair of aircraft is performed by the shacks located on the fields, not the runways themselves and the pilots proximity to them.  The shack for the carrier is down near the end of the carrier where as the shack for the MEC airfield is located right in the middle of the field.  As most pilots start peeling away from the carrier near the ends they dont get as close to the shack as the MEC pilots do flying down through the middle of the field... that may be why it appears that they load faster... IMO.

I think it's the width and length of the strip that matters.  If it's wide, like carrier or double lanes, then when you come in sideways you actually spend more time over it than when on a single runway like airfield at wake.  You come in sideways and probably leave sideways, spending less time over the actual runway.  IDK, just guessing.  Seems like the jet matters too.  I can get 2 bombs at airfield with f35 or f18 everytime.  J10 only gets one for me unless I sway back and forth or go up and down, to really slow down my progress quickly....

ever thaught, some runways are longer then other ones??

WRONG.
You get repairs from the box, not ammo.

What are you talking about. Seriously. Until you have made maps with the editor be silent on this matter, you are just plain wrong.

Mafia's right.  You get repairs from the little house thingy and ammo from the entire runway.  That's why you can reload on the other end of the Carrier but not repair there.

No you dont. Stop talking rubbish.

Go ahead and land your plane on a runway outside the reach of the repair shack.  Bet you $100 bucks you get reloaded

Do you even know how the runway is made? All it is a road with a different texture, but then again you probably dont even know the difference between a road in the game and just plain ground layers.

you are sad, vilhalm. very sad. You know just as well as all these people that you only get repaired very close to the box, but you get ammo over the entire runway - Even if from a game editors point of view, the box spawns that ammo. don't be such a moron.

Yeah. I was just about to say the exact same thing.

this thread wreaks of fail.

box = repairs
runway = ammo

Some airfields give moar ammo because they are

A) Longer
B) Are actually two runways on each other. eg. MEC kubra airfield has two jets, and the runway actually counts as two runways.


WHAT DO I FUCKING WIN?

Teh interwebz again, clearly.
