*************C47's************

the only thing that I would really be happy to see in a newer version is............could you PLEASE at least put a survival knife in the cockpit....something...even a Beretta 9 MM would be nice....but when your escourts leave to engage incoming cons, and you are left out there all alone (naked is my immediate sensation) but then out of the blue...a spit (or a 110, LA 7, etc.)comes off of the deck on your tail feathers all you can do is put your head between your legs.....well you know the rest!!!!!Give us something handfull of rocks....but just give us something to defend ourselves with!!!!!
thanks.....

i think troops should be able to run quater of a sector with short icon (say 500 m) so you dont have to get in so close.. or make the c47 a little tougher..the whole subect need a re-think..

JU-52 anyone ? You could plaster them LA-7s with some useless 7.92.

Well,

I want my AC-47 , hell with this one, who needs an escort? or buff's for that matter.

The AC-47D was equipped with three 7.62mm SUU-11A Gatling Miniguns mounted in the fifth and sixth windows on the port side of the fuselage and in the aft passenger/cargo door area. Approximately 16,500 rounds of ammunition was carried on a typical mission. Note: The SUU-11As were later replaced by specially designed 7.62mm General Electric MXU-470/A Gatling Miniguns.

For night missions, the aircraft carried approximately 48 MK-24 Mod 3 flares. Each flare could last up to three minutes and produce a light magnitude of two million candlepower. The delivery system was extremely simple, the loadmaster armed and dropped each flare out the cargo door when the pilot signaled by flashing a cargo compartment light. Note: Initially, 30 MK-6 flares of 750,000 candlepower were carried before the MK-24 flares were available.

Airspeed during attack maneuvers was normally 120 knots indicated air speed (KIAS). With the Miniguns firing at a rate of 6,000 rounds per minute, aerial coverage was provided over an elliptical area approximately 52 yards in diameter, placing a projectile within every 2.4 yards during a three-second burst.
