PoptartRex 3294 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 This rule change is effective immediately. Post any questions/concerns below. Chapter XIV - APD Aircraft Airplane Patrols Fixed Wing Patrol - The Fixed Wing Aircraft can be used for both recon and rapid response. Recon patrols can be performed by any APD member, with the approval of a Corporal or higher. For standard patrols, the APD may employ the use of parachutes to minimize the danger of a risky landing. Minimum Crew - Pilot - Corporal or higher must be present. (More than one occupant may be present for recon patrols) You may perform recon over illegal areas without using lights and sirens. Armed Fixed Wing Patrol - The Armed Plane patrols are conducted by Sergeants or higher. These patrols can be used for both recon and rapid response. Armed Planes will follow Ghosthawk engagement rules. Exception - Armed Planes can also engage ground units vehicles. Armed planes may mirror the guns hot status of any active Ghosthawks. However, this does not apply vice-versa. If a Ghosthawk is guns hot, then any Armed Plane in the area will also be guns hot. 9 Quote Link to comment

Sooooo armed planes follow ghost hawk rules but can engage any ground vehicle as well? So if im not in a vehicle I'm safe from the armed plane if I don't shoot at it? Quote Link to comment

DeadPool 4376 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Thank God. I felt like I was on the beaches on Dunkirk as a APD plane would engage me running across the salt flats. No more Dunkirk hunting for yall. 2 Quote Link to comment

If hawk sends the text waits 10 seconds then pipes a ifrit. Everyone in the ifrit gets out the ifrit. The hawk cant shoot the people unless shot at. Same thing applies here with the Armed plane. 1 Quote Link to comment

If you are already guns hot, then we can keep shooting if they get out provided they aren’t standing still with gun lowered. People gonna think they immune if their wheel is shot out and they start running. 1 Quote Link to comment

I mean the handbook says it follows ghosthakw rules so where does it say the armed plane can keep shooting after they get out? Or is this anther unwritten? Quote Link to comment

It says that you must surrender in the engagement text so if they aren’t complying or at least trying to comply I don’t see any reason not to pipe after sufficient time is given. 1 Quote Link to comment

The rule says you can only engage vehicles and since it follows the same rules as the hawk. Why is it allowed to shoot the people when they get out compared to the hawk. Quote Link to comment

If you get out, but do not surrender, I will kill you. 1 Quote Link to comment

You're in a hawk and engage a helicopter the helicopter then lands and the pilot gets out and doesn't surrender you cannot roll guns. You're just slapping a plane and car in that situation instead. Unless @TheCmdrRex says otherwise I would say in my opinion this situation would apply to planes fighting ground vehicles as well. Quote Link to comment
