I'd like to see if you can make it preferable to return to base and reload. A penalty only when out of ammunition or bombs and crashing and a large benefit in points for landing at your base and reloading

I agree. I make it a habit to RTB vice crashing, regardless of the mission. Not that I haven't crashed, but it is more the exception than the rule in my case. Good idea alwaystrouble.

Zup had something like this before .you bombed your plane was repaired so you could return to your base and collect points .but what it ended up was a fully repaired plane was now over your base and free to camp at will .
Again something zup intended to enhance the game was abused so it was taken out.
There will always be campers but it unlikely a plane makes it to your base without some damage so they have less time to camp for points .

No that not what I'm saying. There would be no camping with a repaired plane.you would need to return to you ownbase,excactly as it inow. I am talking about return to base to reload instead of crashing to return and reload. I return to base when needing to reload after a bomb run or when XD. Some pilots do a bomb run, immediately crash into the ground to return to base and start another run

I understand it would be nice to get some points for actually returning to your base and reloading.

yeah but it's not that simple to implement. Because you need to figure out if the guy was bombing or not at the enemy base. Otherwise people would just bomb near the base and return to collect points. In any case, it creates more headaches and it doesn't really fix anything. It's more a feature than anything else.

What about collecting points for returning to base to reload for ammo . Returning to base after a bomb run and fighting it out in the skies to reload is more along the lines of real combat situation . Was hoping that when reload completes you should recieve some points. I feel that this is an accomplishment. Thanks Zup. No complaints from me.I only wanted to share an idea. Love the game and I appreciate your hard work. Thank you TFL alwaystrouble

I always try to fly back to base and reload , it would be nice,though after going through all that effort , if the reload process actually worked!!! Quite often it doesn't . I have posted ,with screen shots , in the "bugs" thread, a couple of times but it still happens every now and then.
May the ancestors look down upon your achievements and smile.
