In the olden days, when dinosaurs ruled the earth, and before cell phone juggling yuppies discovered Harley-Davidson. We could always count on one guy to follow us on a run, in a chase truck. Inevitably, with ever increasing amounts of booze being consumed, someone would find themselves exploring a cornfield at high speed. This would lead to the need for the previously mentioned truck, to haul what was left of the bike back home.
At one point in AH (might have been a different sim, its getting a little fuzzy) you could land near a downed pilot, in a two seater, and pick him up. Now, if it was set up so that when you got a guy back and landed. He got his perk points, or kill messages, whatever. You could be a hero. I think a lot of squads could get a volunteer to drive the "chase truck" if this was implemented. Might add a facet to the game.
