Aircraft repair

Post by Buggi »

What's the Level of Effort (LoE) to finally get Aircraft Repair Pads operational and actually get aircraft to use them?

While on "patrol" if they are damaged beyond X% they should turn around and find a friendly repair pad to land on.

Unfortunatally I don't have the time to figure out where to start let alone patch the problem. :(

How come my aircraft haven't ever used them? Is there some sort of threshold they're not hitting or some distance thing?

Although something related that would be nice... the default landat % for aircraft is 30%, and there is not way to change it for all aircraft built (besides the ctrl-z set method every time you use them hehe). Since in many cases 30% is WAY too late to start running away, it would be nice is aircraft facroies kept this toggle so you could apply it to all built aircraft.
