||(ik theres a suggestion kinda similar but that one is for the cricket specifically)||

Give the Tarantula an option for RATO/JATO. Rocket or Jet assisted takeoff would help take off faster. It would also be neat visually. And it could be used when you need to scramble/get somewhere fast.

Of course, it wouldnt be limited to the Taran only.

But why? The Tarantula can already VTOL

The Taran is perfectly fine for acceleration and takeoff speeds though, you really wouldn't want to RATO with the engines not awake either, given how heavy the thing is.

i could se this being a thing if you had the option to choose from helipad ore runway for the tarantula

I disagree. Simply since Tarantula is too big for revetments and spawning directly on the strip or taxiway can cause problems.

Idk if people realize this but the tarantula taking off with VTOL takes about 8 or 9 seconds compared to like a fixed wing having to taxi and then take off which is 30-40 seconds, the tarantula does not need rockets or further upgrades to enhance STOL abilities

You don't do the 5 second takeoff procedure in the Ifrit?

But yes, The Tarantula has a very quick takeoff procedure as is.

why is everyone talking about tarantula anyways

i agree for the cool factor

it would be useful on the Darkreach for when VC's runway isn't enough

# languid portal nuh uh

You name dropped the Tarantula specifically and no others.

Besides why would you want RATO gear on a Fritter?

Honestly what the Fritter takeoffs look like already lol

All aircraft are STO in game why would we need this?

I mean other than the Darkreach but let's be honest here it wasn't made for that

yall dont need to keep berating my suggestion i get the point 😭

# languid portal funny

I'm not trying to be funny just try these fuel settings next time you play, Cricket 20%, Compass 25-30%, Chicane 15%, Revoker 70%, Tarantula 35%, Ifrit 65%, Medusa 30%, and Darkreach 20% this should allow for at least 20min flight of each and you'll notice a great leap in performance in each aircraft just don't get to AB happy with the Revoker lol

tbh if we get dedicated big transport aircraft this could work for them other than that idk

This would be more valuable on the Darkreach.
