If Land > Refuel, Re-arm, Repair is implemented...How long should each stage take?

Well it could prevent this: You are engage by a bandit near your field. He damages your plane to a point that you makes you combat inafective... BUT you manage to land, get a fresh plane, take off again and nail is ass as he his nursing his overheated engine back home. Sounds familiar?

My vote is make it a server side option with modifiable times. This way it is flexible. Longer times for hardcore server, shorter times for more arcadish types.

Still makes no sense to me, Zoom, but then I strive for realism as opposed to the gangbang fetish of most players. I'm with Franky and robtek, although SNAFU's idea is actually brilliant, too. This way one could, for example, designate home bases and forward landing strips in certain situations.
