yeah it should be less oxygen the fire goes out guess 1plus thinks that lots of air puts the fire out maybe small ones but not fire being burned by oil.

I'm not insulting him ether. I was just mentioning I thought less oxygen stops a fire. But anyways would C47's Jeeps and all the sup vehicles be equipped with the supplies or only certain vehicals.

Well what do you mean? Cargo vehicles carry the cargo(supplies, maybe even troops), assault carry mostly guns or even troops, and all out guns would be tanks.

Your answer would be certain vehicles. Like cargo vehicles  ;)

So has anyone actually tried dropping a vehicle supply near a damage aircraft to see if maybe it already works?

     1Plus44 was right so before you knock someone at least have your facts straight. Diving increases speed to the point where the fire is blown out like a match in the wind. Get going fast enough and you can even put out a oil fed fire. It was done in WW2 quite often and was a known emergency procedure. I agree with with him and there are tmes I would have paid perks for some fuel. I dont think damage should be fixed unless its light like a fuel or radiator leak. Adding fuel or ammo is alot easier and more realistic than fixing a broken wing.

We already have a command that lets you put missing parts back on your plane: .EF
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

+1 on this idea (from the original poster), but with a 3-5 minute repair delay, during which the engine cannot be restarted until AFTER you have held the start button for at least 10 seconds (this reasoning is because the pilot would presumably get out of the plane in the meantime, and getting back in would take some time).



Also, weren't pilots able to plug up oil/fuel leaks with chewing gum?  This maybe completely untrue, but if it is true, it's added support to this
aircraft supplies idea.  If it isn't true, I still support the Original Poster.
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

Not all of them no....... But:
14 kills in P51D
3 kills in C-Hog
8 kills in Fw152
4 kills in a Temp
15 kills in Spit XIV

so only 44 out of 176 were UBER, only about 25%.  You're right!!!  And almost 40% does come from the Jug.... Well Done.
