Title: Air transport for gv's
Post by: vSPIREv on March 21, 2008, 12:12:32 AM: I would like to see air transport planes for ground vehicles. That way if you wanted to you could fly your gv's in and drop them by the town.

Post by: vSPIREv on March 22, 2008, 11:05:15 AM: Probbably wont happen ,but I still think it would be a really fun idea for the gv'ers in aces high. I heard that Britan air lifted their tanks in Lancasters, how true if at all is this? Haven't been able to find any info on my own,so maybe you guys could help me find some. It was a rumor that I heard in game so you never know but i'm interested to find the truth.

Post by: Coog03 on March 22, 2008, 12:03:49 PM: You couldn't make it anywhere in those. If you think C-47's get shot down all the time then imagine a heavy, huge & slow moving target in that beast of a plane.
