1C - Please Improve Airfield Landing Protocol

[KodiakJac]

1C, having reached important milestones and now looking to the future for new opportunities, please take a moment to improve the airfield landing protocol, which often feels more like civilian/commercial protocol than military protocol in active combat zones.

 

And most of all, the player is always slated to land last in the traffic pattern, whether under AI control or when flying manually.  For a player who wants to use AI to land their plane, this causes the player to have to wait for sometimes 20 to 25 minutes in the pattern before landing.  And for the player wanting to land manually, if you are in a large flight, you often have to duck and weave your way through traffic to find an open opportunity to land.  This doesn't feel realistic.  Please consider using the IL-2 1946 protocol of landing the planes based on their order of arrival to the airfield.

 

Or consider bringing the planes in more quickly, landing every 2nd or 3rd plane in the traffic pattern.  There is no sense of military urgency in the landing protocol, and after an exciting combat mission, you often feel like you're holding in traffic at LAX when it comes time to land. 

 

Thanks!

I would like to add one thing. Let heavily damaged aircrafts land first. Currently I often see them crash, because they are circling around the airfield until it is their turn to land, but at some point the engine dies or something else breaks and they fall down like a stone.

And landings like take offs. In Pairs or formation landings.
