Air Drop of GVs

[1ijac]

   The ability to air-drop a GV to a desired location, outfitted the way you want, then bail from your C-47 and enter the GV.  You could lock or unlock the GV allowing someone else to use it if wanted.  If the GV was unused for say 5 min., then it would disappear.   

   Look out, I've had 3 cups of coffee and I'm on a roll.

I think it would be cool if you could have a friend fly the c47 (no troops) and 'attach' a friend who is selecting a tank or GV. Then they drop you somewhere, doesn't really make sense to 'fly yourself' there to bail out. 

I like the idea though.

The only thing a C47 could lift and carry would be a jeep.

which while not being very useful would be kind of fun

good idea 1 eye

Maybe it could carry a light vehicle like a jeep, m-3, m-8, or maybe even a m-18.

Thanks APDrone for looking it up.
Maybe there is another plane that could drop a light Gv.

My uncle restored a tiny mini bulldozer that was hauled on ww2 gliders. I'm guessing they would use them to start a rough field.

I'll see if I can get a pic from him.

+1 for that Gigant plane and tank. What a blast that would be.

For every fighter pilot looking for a quick fireball.   


I'm getting a bit worried that folks are not actually looking into things before they ask.  Air to air refueling and air dropped tanks in WW2.  Guess I missed that

...That was tongue in cheek. Unless it's used in a scenario, the Gigantic wouldn't really fit in.
