You can drop the box anywhere on the airfield or in the town (to get field AcK up).  You don't not have to be on paved part of the facility.

And no, cities can't be resupplied as I have recently learned. I have tested it myself in MA, only thing that you are able to resupply in a city are the ack guns.


When was this changed?

Granted, I don't think i've tried it in 4-5 yrs.

Crud, now I gota go fly me a goon and check it out.

USED to be a great way to get perks.  IIRC 15-30 ish per run.

Can you resupply a base by upping at that base with supplies and dropping there, or do you have to launch from a separate field and then drop when you arrive at the field needing the supplies?

They have to come from another field.

IIRC it's 1 mile from the tower.


Field Supplies resupply whatever applicable objects are within a 1 mile radus of them.

Just to add to this you dont have to end flight on concrete (in vehicle) if there is no enemy around, but make sure you make a complete stop before .ef

ding ding ding we have a winner. you can resupply a BASE TOWN and bring the ack back up in it NO BUILDINGS.

while doing a resupply on the base using a c47 m3 lvt 253 what ever you want to use you can drop them ANY WHERE ON BASE OR CLOSE TO BASE AS LONG AS ITS WITH IN 1 MILE OF BASE IT WILL RESUPPLY IT.

It doesn't resupply the "base" itself, it resupplies the objects that can be resupplied within a 1 mile radius of the supply drop.

Good question.

As for the concrete pad, any bit of the concrete would do and I must admit to always doing that and not just anywhere on the field. That is because I "land" immediately after

But think about the C47. when you drop from that you may not have your chute land on the concrete. So it seems logical that anywhere on the field will do. I will try it next time to see if it pays! - But stop your vehicle or aircraft on the concrete to avoid the "ditch" and reduced points from a proper landing.

So one way or another you usually end up on the concrete for full points!
Ya if it lands on no concrete u got no go.
