so your saying it went out and shot down other planes? im sure thats going to be one of the requirements, and to me, that thing couldnt go faster than a post-WW1 biplane. let alone shoot a plane down with only a single 12.7mm gun...
"Combat" is more than just simply shooting a plane down.
Did c47s shoot planes down?
Did the jeep model we have in game blow up tanks?
The Drache was used in rescue missions and supply missions, Some of which it came under fire. This is enough to count it as having a "combat" record.
It wouldnt be used to engage planes. It would be used to spot tanks in a GV battle, Possibly bomb them (could carry 2 550kg bombs)Could carry supplies. Could be a Troop hunter in town.
speed wouldnt be an issue for it when it came to survival. Stay low, See a plane above? simply land, shut off engines, wait for plane to fly out of icon range, start engines, then be off on your way again.
Btw skorpy, ever find that quote?
