Aerial convoys

[Tank-Ace]

Would it be possible to have aerial convoys that fly supplys to base? We could use the pre-existing C-47, or if we wanted something new (and able to carry more, if we get it in game) we could use the Me 232.

er... can you say target practice?

Sounds good, I'll take a 47n to about 25k all te drop tanks and get free kills for a hour or two

Probably wouldn't be counted as kills. Just something like "cargo plane destroyed" and some damage added to your stats.

If most people who play this game actually played it to fight, you wouldn't need to ask for such things. Maybe a better wish would be to wish for people who log into a combat game to actual try not to avoid combat. We don't need more AI drones to take more people away from fights.

Probably not, the Strat system now is so old the biggest problem updating is whether the server can handle hundreds of bases flying "c47's" or "Convoys period", while hundreds of players are playing.

There's a clear reason Aces High has not expanded the strat system, I just wish I knew why - I remember something about them testing the sea convoys in an FSO while ago, not sure where they went.

I agree, simple case is vTards would love to simply wipe out the strat targets across the map, and move in on undefended bases that can't resupply themselves, however if a system gets in place where they simply cannot "shutdown" a section of the map then it would be interesting to add.

I like it!

what? the strat system you see now is a revamp of the old strat system and it's the old strat system that people want put back in place with the new mega cities. it's the old strat system that made strat runs worthwhile.

Yes, when ever a base strats were attacked the C47 resupply train, I think three C47's started to automatically resupply the striken base.  It was a good training aid for new pilots .   As I remembr they did have some AI and didn't just fly level but did try to stay alive.  Would be nice.
