Ability for P-38 to carry troops

[Ack-Ack]

I would like to wish for the P-38 (all models) to be able to have the option to carry two troops.  The P-38 would have to land near the town and then have the troops exit out while on the ground and can't be dropped from the air. 

The P-38 was able to carry two personel/ambulance pods on the inner hard points.  It wasn't one of those rare things, it was used quite a bit to shuttle personel and transport war casualties.  I think the Lightning should be able to have the option to use them, maybe when the perk ordnance system comes out.  Unperked, the Lightning would probably replace the Goony as the premiere drunk wagon because you'd be able to fight your way in, land, drop troops, take off, and fight your way out.

I read somewhere once that a ride in this was like a ride in barrell down a frozen slope.

Would you get credited with three kills if you shoot one of these down?

LOL +1


While you're at it throw in the P-38 Droop Snoot for us bomber pilots.

Leave it to Ack-Ack to pick up something like this. I like the idea... I just have to figure out how to fly the dang thing

Sorry rules clearly say 10 uninjured troops to take base. If they give them crutches I will think about it.

lol  I think it would be cool.

Would suck if the pilot forgot he was carrying injured troops & forgot & dumped the drop tanks by mistake.

No, shooting down a full Goon doesn't give you credit for killing all the drunks inside.

They weren't just for transporting the wounded, all sort of personel were transported in these things.

That's why there is a little plexiglass nose, the first models were completely enclosed without any windows or view ports.  That was likened to being in the closest thing one can come to Hell.  Rumor has it that after the engineers were told what would happen to them if anyone that was transported in these pods ever got a hold of them, they added the plexiglass nose.

Awesome idea, but not very practical. I am sure it didn't bring troops to the front I.E C-47,M3,SDKFZ251 and so on. Interesting idea at best but not practical at all.

Hijack!
