Close Encounters

[=IRFC=kotori87]

On Sunday's Flying Circus Furball, Gardimus's engine got shot up, so I gave him a bit of a helping hand to get back to friendly lines. Apparently when you get real close, bits of the plane start to go invisible, making it very difficult. Eventually his engine died, and he ditched safely on our side.

We tried that back in rise of flight, pushing collegues without prop and power back over the lines.. but it is kind of dicey. The W12 worked pretty good though. The problem in MP is that lag differences can prevent solid hookups.

 

Physicswise, some aircraft parts are more solid on prolonged contact, like engines and wing leading edges, those are the points you can hook gears to transmit a propulsive impulse without the planes glitching into each other and becoming uncontrolable.

I suspect, the over-wing lews guns help, too.

 

But the hard part is landing softly as one!
