i think they should make the planes immune to crashes when on the runway and carriers to prevent planes from continually crashing into each other when trying to take off. This will also prevent collisions into spawning planes when a plane is landing for repairs.

Or, you could just learn how to land/ take off without crashing in to anybody?

Zup has made it pretty clear that no major changes are going to happen for df. Something like this is going to be waaaay down his list. Admittedly, it's difficult to land on a runway nowadays without crashing into a spawning plane since they spawn all over the place. So land ahead of the runway and taxi on to the strip. Carriers is a no brainer. Land at the front. As far as crashing into players that spawn in front of you? It does take a bit of attention, but it's easily navigatable as long as you pay attention. Adds dimension to the game. I actually like it! Remember, as long as you are moving slowly, you will move through the plane and not crash.

Hope this helps!

I've learned to live with spawncrashes.

There's one thing I think worths mentioning: Three or four days ago I lost a capture-the-flag game just because I crashed on a spawning teammate at the very moment I was trying to land with the enemy flag on our spot. Just five meters to go. Then, a red tank imediately took the flag - and some minutes later I lost connection. A won game slipped.

The lesson is: never go over the runway when trying to finish the mssion carring the enemy flag.

I took the RED PILL!

Nice tank Husky Dog! I wonder if we will ever get better tanks...? I was under the impression that it will be done after introducing squad wars feature, but since that is not happening, I think at least better tanks (on the lines of better planes) are in order.

How are you supposed to do that when a plane appears right in front of you on the runway when you're trying to land? Not possible.

Sting... if there is a plane in front of you when you take off turn either left or right before accelerating.

When landing you can always land on the ground and taxi onto the runway to reload/refuel. If you've captured the flag and want to go thru the sweet spot to victory you can also land on the ground to avoid collisions. (as Husky mentions below)

You don't have to actually land on the runway to reload, you just need to be on it. Land before the runway and taxi onto it. If you are moving slowly you won't crash into other planes, you will pass right through them.
