Real jets

[Hootie hoo]

I was just thinking about the penalties in real mode, and I wondered why there wasn't anything with jets.

So I figured this:
Why not just cut the jet rechanrge time in real mode a bit?
I don't really see how this could be...
-Overly complicated or hard to code
-Confusing
-Disruptive

So yeah.

Becasue on some maps it would be annoying as hell to get some places, plus if the map is designed for real mode the mapmaker will just decrease jets.

[Hootie hoo]

And if it's not designed for real mode?
What if it's a non-real or general map? And how many real-specific maps are there, anyway...?

Hey, how "realistic" are jets anyway?

I think the only reason I don't like this idea (besides Jettlarue's reasoning of course) is that, in certain situations, you need your jets to prevent falling damage. Leave it to the map makers to determine how much jet you should have.

I don't like this idea. Realistic mode isn't all about decreasing every ingame option you have. Surely you have less health, less accuracy a.s.o, but decreasing the amount of jet/fuel would really just be disabeling the gameplay alot.

As it is now, realistic is really just a customized version of normal(or vice versa), but if you decreased the amount of jet it would be a hole new game. At least if you ask me..
I don't mind changes being done to realistic and normal, but leave jet the way it is.
