I try to use this option but when gaming i take more difficulties for finding airfield.
I presume (for refule and reload) need to come back to the airfield or not?
Sorry for my english!

Unfortunately, you can't rearm or refuel at airfields. The only way to get your ammo back is to die!

playing online, you cannot refuel/re arm.

once you run out of fuel/ammo then all you can do is die, and then respawn with more.

Another ncie feature the team threw in

everyone please mention to developers on developers thread im sure a lot of people would like that option on team battle and strike, i like using limited ammo and fuel it makes u have to aim and shoot burst insted of just firing till ur guns overheat it makes it more tactical it just sux u have to bail out to get more ammo they should mark airfields in team battle and add the option of rearm refuel

That could create some EPIC online battles (provided enough people join). Opponenets would not be continually engaged in battle due to the need to land, re-arm and re-fuel. That would make for some very interesting tactics, i.e. chasing a bandit to his airfield, bombing an airfield, etc.

I would love this option.

I hope they re-introduce landings in the sequel. Take-offs not per se, but the landings would be nice. The score system in IL2 was flawed, but the general idea was ok: if you land you get 10x more points for a kill than when you crash. Big motivation to land

. Something similar would be very nice. It also made bombers useful in 'Team Battle', since they could bomb the apron and runway.

I've been in and started a few matches with limited ammo (never tried fuel) and it makes the team battles MUCH more intereseting. Instead of spraying when they're 1.5km out, you wait until you're sure you have a shot. Much more realistic, and alot more intense as you have to weigh the odds of you hitting them vs how many bullets you have left. Its my preferred setting now.

As for reloading? I usually kamikaze one of the other guys as opposed to just crashing. Really helps you with your manuevering skills too, as you have to literally get ON their tail to do it
