Howdy,

I sure hope consideration is given to creating a method to pickup/rescue a fallen comrade. If waiting 5-10 minutes for someone to come and rescue you after you've bailed is the difference between losing 100 career points or not, I imagine it'd be a popular addition to gameplay.

This would also be a great way to use boatplanes like the PBY and create additional uses for PT Boats and such.

Regards,

Chairboy

I would like to see the PBY Catalina introduced but as a counter measure to the real rescue machine. Submarines rescued a lot more downed pilots then PBYs ever did but I think PBYs sank more subs then anything else did.

315 Squadron leader one time landed in a French field to pick up one of his squaddies who had been shot down by flak. Went home on his lap.

Would be a nice feature for the game. If a downed pilot gets within a few feet of a friendly unit, he could use the .join command to join it.
