I would like for Hi Tech to help us develop the rescue missions which we have been flying of late. It certainly adds a new dimension to the game. What I have been doing is flying B-24's or any aircraft for that matter, at least one sector inside enemy country at least 30 min before the posted mission launches, and crash land the 24's. We have been sending 6 C-47's on the mission and usually have 16 to 24 fighters for CAP responsibilities. What we do is "bail" from the 24's, walk up to one of the C-47's, then click on "join" feature of the clipboard map, then ride home with that squaddie. The CAP is very interesting as it is very difficult to keep the goons safe while on this mission.
What Hi Tech could do for us to expand this type of "home made" mission, is to add a "flare" pistol, in addition to the .45 cal pistol the pilot already has. The reason for this is simple, if we get a squaddie shot down behind enemy lines and has to bail, it would be neat to have a flare pistol to mark his position for rescuing pilots. This would also be useful in GV's to mark a spot for someone who needs supplies. I can hear it now from all, about the enemy also seeing the flares, but that is the chance one takes in firing the flare. It would also generate more interest if the rescuing pilot was awarded some "perks" for getting the downed pilot home safely.
Not sure what would be involved in setting this up in the game, or if Hi Tech would be interested in doing it, but it would add another element to an already great on line game!
If anyone has any suggestions,(constructive), add them to this thread.
