Refuel/Rearm Pad for Storch
« on: January 31, 2012, 04:50:09 PM »
Since we now have a Storch hangar at the Vbase can we get a refuel pad?  Something that can only be used by the Storch.

With %50 fuel giving you over 30 minutes in the air (that is a long time to go nowhere)...

and 25 smoke grenades to toss out your window (that accounts for no score)....

and the ability to carry 2 vehicle supplies (that accounts for no score)....

... so why should the a re-arm pad built just for the Storch?    :headscratch:

Storch's should have the ability to change the clip in the MG42 in the back there...  Look at all the spares down below!   :x

Storch hanger could be down and you still need an overwatch for ground forces.

     Wonder how many sorties you'd need to build a kill streak in a Storch  :rofl

So when they come along and bomb the hangar I can keep on keeping on...as fighters do from an airfield.

If they're bombing the hangar, they're going to want to take the base, because that's the lowest priority target. And if they can't kill a single Storch, something isn't right. I say no to this wish, because what would be the point?

How many rounds do you think each ammo canister holds?
How many rounds total does the rear gun have now?

Do the math....

The point of the Storch was to spot GVs and act as a quick resupplier. With the icon change, no other plane can do it as effectively as the Storch. So no, you can't compare this wish to the Storch.

I had two this weekend, I got greedy for a third and was killed.  Straffed M3s and troops, bailed=proxy.  Kill nonetheless.
