Ac fuel as a supply drop

[surfinn]

I would really like to see AC fuel as a resupply drop on jeeps, m3s, and c47s. Doesn't have to be a lot just enough for say 25% refuel. Wouldn't need a lot of effort to make it happen I don't think.

I was just thinking about this the other day after I came up about 1K short of a runway after running out of fuel..

Bring enough fuel for your planned sortie, and a safety margin.

ya called check ur e6b and when ur fuel gets low retreat and go home dont get gready

karnak sherman, what if your fuel tanks leak? then suddenly you have one fuel tank left. this would refuel that tank once dry and let the wounded flyer rtb. also this is a two person job not one. you'll still need a selfless person to give you the fuel which would be rare

I call the last 1/4 of fuel, my "go home gas".

Force a 30 second wait like a rearm pad.

Plan your fuel.

Don't use the "What if your fuel gets hit?" either. It'd still leak if filled.

not my point losing a tank = less fuel and air time. youd use the remaining tanks to rtb and this doesnt always add to success

     If your tank is leaking, then I guess you don't get to rtb.

There is no "right" to RTB.  Sometimes damage immediately stops you from RTBing, such as a wing being blown off, and sometimes it doesn't take you down immediately, but you still aren't going home, an oil leak for example.

All of your fuel tanks holed falls into the second category.

So I guess we need to conserve ammo as well too...bring enough ammo and RTB when your out...no resup

LOVE THAT IDEA A LOT!

What?!?

Oops, just remembered that most planes have more than one tank. Apparently I need to fly more than 109's.

I do plan to rtb with a safety margin but. The idea is to give the game another option. If ya fly some of the earlyer war ac like i do fuel is always a problem. Late War ac like 51ds will at times do nothing more than try to keep ya turning to waste your fuel especially if your rtb. So if ya survive that whats the problem with having a squadie  refuel ya?
