I see valid arguments to both sides. I don't have problems with campers as much as the high flyers whose only intention is to dive and take out honorable pilots engaged in head on combat. Even the fuel issue wouldn't really curb that as they would just return to base and do it all over again. I think for the time being, it may not be such a great idea. I do like it as a way to cut camping...however, if there is enough fuel to make it back...then that is time enough for cheap kills...and just crash to respawn...just brainstorming.

Terrible idea. Now you can't sneak in one of those nitty gritty games. You can't take your take shooting a zeppelin. You can't take you time capturing a carrier. You can't fly around the map in ffa. You guys might not like him adding that. Careful what you wish for cuz btb isn't the only mission

If this happens I will quit playing...I'm tried of games where you have to buy something(like fuel) to keep going, I dont mind buying a chute and tank but...fuel? Come on...If there is voting..I will vote no every time....

Fuel limits is a very bad idea

Agree fuel limit bad idea. There are other things that need to be fixed first ( spawn crashes, tanks floating on water for a shot on carrier)
Uneven teams

Why are you guys saying "IF it happens"? Look at your hangar in the update. It IS gonna happen. And I think it's a good thing. YOU guys think it's a bad thing. I'm not telling you guys to like it, but it can't be stopped.

I don't believe zup intends for us to be begging for fuel and paying for the kerosene. It would be to cruel, and there would be an exodus from dogfight. I think, he has seen this post, and he will understand the majority opinion of the pilots is to NOT have fuel limitations.

I will bring it up in our moderator chat room and ask zup about it:)

Do we get gas cards and if we do can we buy snacks too or just gas?

Thank you to everyone who had replied to this topic. Everybody has been gracious, polite, and logical in stating their opinions. This is the type of thing I'd like to see more of. General, please don't lock this thread beside it might possibly have a chance of starting a debate some where down the road. (sorry jack, I had to take the shot, we love ya)

Club cards? The Misfits could headhunt new recruits with promises of petrol!

I wonder if I can use all of my frequent flyer miles.

Lol McFate!!

pretty sure most people on planes hope so but it happens (mh370)

(mh370)??

I think it's a great idea to put feul limits. I think it would reduce dropping if more fuel is used if you don't have bomb. If you are in an unbalanced game most of the action happens near base with less planes therefore would benifit lesser side.
Those of you who say they won't play anymore you won't be missed.

I dint get u
R u telling tht if there is Fuel limits people will stop dropping!!???!!

if they make it that fuel burns faster if you don't have bomb then that will encourage people to get to target or as far as engaging with enemy before dropping( if that's close to target they'll be inclined to have a go)

I don't see how you can possibly think you'd have to buy it. WWI pilots never needed to buy their own gasoline for fighter missions... There was a tank at base, to refill upon returning from a mission

Ok maybe not buy it. But constantly having to report to refill at a base? I mean come on, that's annoying.

Could there not be a desperate mission with these restrictions so we could choose to play or not.....?

Separate.....?''''ahhh spell check.....lol

Do the fuel limits only apply to the planes or to the tank as well? Exploration with tank is a comparable alternative if it still has unlimited fuel.

as i started before, odds are it will be plenty to get you there and back. Once you bomb, you're going right back to base anyway, right? The only mission where it would totally screw everything up would be zeppelin.

How about a separate mission with this...we can then choose to play or nay.....?

I reckon it should take longer to refuel and rearm , the less hangers or more damage to your ship, it makes sense that if your base or ship is damaged things won't be running smothly on the ground

I think if there a fuel limit more people will drop. They won't have a weight penalty. So less weight means more range. They wont be sucking up fuel as fast asna.plane with a bomb

or maybe if you go faster, you burn through fuel faster... Zup only knows

No, this would screw anyone needing to maneuver in the valley of death. And if caught in a Df or chase with other planes, u could run out of fuel.

U wouldn't be able to explore anymore.

This is a great idea. One that i and others spoke up for quite some time ago. The idea that it would hurt a shorthanded defender is not valid. The defender, if he id smart makes his defense near his base. The reds have to burn fuel all the way over and cannot stick around to camp or spawnkill, while the defender has fuel to maneuver far in excess of the attackers. I have landed to reload in shorthanded games successfully many times, and if shot down i respawn fully loaded! Great idea whose time has come Zup!
