Landed On Enemy Airfield

[R.A.T. Army *MST3K*]

I have a good number of hours into this game and I’ve never seen this before. I was just playing an air AB match and a notification popped up on my screen. It read, a teammate has landed on the enemy airfield and surrendered, or something very close to that.

I’ve never seen that before. Is this a new feature? And new or not, what’s the benefit of doing so? Can you do this in RB, or SB?

It's been in the game for a long time now, although it's rare to see because of how overpowered AAA is.

It's been there for ages, but if someone lands on the enemy airfield, they go rip basically.

Traitor!

MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF THESE CRAVEN FOOLS!

it was added ages ago so well defended bombers couldnt land and take control of the enemy airfield with their gunners... which id never actually seen happen mind you but apparently it was enough of a problem to merit the fix

Cowards. That's what they are.

This specifically could happen in RB and SB, as players would be returning to the airfields with litte/no ammo and/or fuel and be unable to land due to the bomber.

So it was originally intended to allow players to take over the enemy base?

I think these players landed thinking its same as domination-where you need to land on airfield.

not in the sense of airfield domination, but in realistic/sim where players returning to the airfield with low ammo/fuel would be unable to kill them, unable to land without dying to their turrets, and too low on fuel to last long enough to win on points

I'm still confused a bit I still don't see why you would need to land on the enemies airfield if you were low ammo or fuel. But I don't think I need to fully understand this mechanic as it seems like it's an old feature, used as a bandaid to fix a small problem; and I have no plan on doing it myself.

its not the bombers that are low on ammo/fuel, they do it to deny its use to the enemy who are, bombers being slow with terrible climbrates take far too long to go back to there own airfield to reload and try to bomb again, by which time the enemy will be ready for and higher than them so the chances of there actually bombing something useful again are low, so the most useful thing they could do would be to deny the enemy the use of their airfield

Oooh! Now I get it. I would land my giant bomber on YOUR airfield, blocking your entire team from using it. And the surrendering feature, is ment to stop this.

Now this all makes sense. Thanks.

Must have been tough to kill off all the AAA turrets; that takes dedication.
