I have always wanted Re arm and Re fuel in IL 2 sense the first day I started playing
Im not one that wants to Re spawn Over and Over. I would like to Start a Map and Fly all over Landing for re-fuel as I need to, until it becomes second nature and I learn the terrain because frankly the in game map Sucks.
I have been known to select a map and fly for hours,not unlike actual combat missions in real life, For Me The larger the map the better.
To compare what is realistic and what isn't really isn't fair to the request because it isnt realistic or historical or I may lose points because I re-spawn. I myself don't play for points. I play to survive and complete the mission. And sometimes for me to accomplish this I have to land and re fuel. I have a recon mission that if you where to follow the way points You will run out of fuel before making it back to base. Specially if you engage with enemy aircraft. The re-fuel choice's are one base on your side and One on the enemy side that is covered by enemy recon,I suggest taking a wing man if your going to steal fuel from the enemy.
One of the things that makes the R/R/R option interesting is that one needs some skill landing with damaged Aircraft and although the times that it takes to re Arm and re fuel and aircraft is much shorter then in real life it proposes a real need for team work if your base is under attack. You need to depend on your Wing man to cover you while your re Arming. And Let you know when to bail from the plane.
I mean realistically and historically Dead Pilots don't care how many planes they shot down Ace or not
One more thing that adds to the immersion when using R/R/R is the Resource Management. Meaning You have to cover your logistics supply convoys and trains Making them prime targets for the enemy
Here is a U Tube video of that Mod
Clobber there supply's and Win the war
As a mission writer I find these 2 options get My imagination steering More then anything in IL 2 and Would love to see them in any feature patch that TD puts out Untill thin Ill host HSFX 4.1 with Zuti 1.2 or Ultra Pack v 3
And Of course Stock
