No.  Why would a GV base stock AV gas and bombs?

Put it inside the selection hangar.

If you can get a plane fully in and get back out, then you deserve a rearm.

GV bases didn't use to have fuel for spotter aircraft or colored smoke markers... but one day, they just started stocking them.   :bhead

As I recall the Fi156 uses the same fuel GVs use, not the high octane fuels fighters and bombers use.

Flares weren't stocked at airfields either, prior to the Storch being added.

In short, you're comparing apples to watermelons.

This has been shot down multiple times by a multitude of sane people time and time again.

Let's hope it the trend continues.   :aok

oh... and a big fat F no.   :bhead

They do right now, AV gas for the aircraft that are currently located at the Vehicle base.    And they stockpile ords for the tanks, what's a few one hundred pounders going to cause.

The aircraft at the GV base does not use high octane AV gas.  It may very well use the same gas as the jeep does.

Tanks carry 500 and 1000lb bombs now?

If a plane landed at a GV base for real and didn't have enough fuel to get home safely to an airfield, I think they would find it some fuel since it's easier to truck in than a plane is to truck out.  Also I'm sure they could reload machine gun aminishin, we all know they had that laying around.

I wouldnt mind seeing it, maybe with a 2 minute rearm time. Did every wartime airfield have a full GV hangar with every type of ammo? I'm no expert but i'm pretty sure they didn't. The rearm pads are already a game concession, so the historical arguement doesnt hold much water as far as I'm concerned.
