I think this one would become Crabby's new toy. And the fool he recruits to gun for him. Can't you just see him laying in wait in the town until the troops are released. Then Crabby and his foolish gunner roar in out of their hiding spot to gun down the troops before anyone figures out what's happening.
Consider if the Storch pilot could bail with a Machinepistole 38/40 and a few magazines. Or if Hitech was kind enough to introduce an allied spotting plane and that pilot bailed with a Thompson and a few magazines. Or a Pe2 and the pilot bails with a PPSh-41.......
The new Latrobe fun mission. 10 guys up spotting planes to bail over their own town to wait for the troops. Or bail near an enemy field to frag pilots just as their planes spawn from behind the rearm building.
I lost a DA duel years ago. "It was an anything goes duel." This was back when we could up from the same field and shoot each other down. So we spawn, then his plane explodes, then I'm in the tower. I spawned two more times before I caught on my opponent had bailed and was hiding behind the rearm shooting me in the cockpit. Used a 37mm to get him.
