Why not? Dare I ask that question....
Be able to drop ac sups for an aircraft with damage. Think of that poor pilot who landed in the middle of nowhere due to a radiator, or perhaps an oil leak...... :uhoh
Will not resup ordnance or ammo. Each supply can fix 1, maybe 2 problems with the aircraft. Limited to such things as oil, engine, radiator, gear, gun, ailerons, rudders, elevators, flaps and such. Missing half a right wing wouldn't be fixable.
Drops just like other supplies.
A silly wish........ Maybe not so much if you think about it.

I would actualy like the ability to make a field repare and get back into the action.

Well, No nessicarily supplies but rearm pad in the middle of no where in case someone i low on fuel or ammo and needs to make it home or go back to the fight. I would be just a rearm pad there and whoever controled the zone base for the sector would be able to use it.

Cant believe it, but im all in for this one. :aok

Too gamey.. Unless it carries a repair delay.

Not too sure about this one.

and an M3/251/C47 dropping vehicle supplies to turreted/track/engine hit GVs isn't gamey? Same concept
-
I think they should have a delay as well.

yes but one that is a bit shorter than GV's. I mean in tanks it was very difficult to take the engine out and put a new one or repair it and etc.

Be nice to at least have a medic on he re-arm pad to treat those nasty headwounds.
-
I wouldn't mind the diving to extinguish flames! Course, chances are, you're boned anyways... But still, diving and maybe saving the plane would be nice.
-
I kinda like this idea for the fact that I could setup a little mobile landing strip. I'd just fly a C47 to a nice flat area and vector squadies in to land. Then just repair/rearm them and leave.
-
Shouldnt have got shot up in the first place to need the supply's.
-
Make it a 10 minute wait. No, a 5 minute wait for repair. New planes are free you know.
wrongway
-
Yeah it should have a delay make it more realistic. Because the pilot would take awhile to fix an engine etc. Good Idea though LLogann.

should'nt it be going up to sufficate the fire??? :huh

yeah it should be less oxygen the fire goes out guess 1plus thinks that lots of air puts the fire out maybe small ones but not fire being burned by oil.

he's my squad mate and im not insulting him i just thought maybe going down was another way of putting out the fire. guess up is the only way.

I'm not insulting him ether. I was just mentioning I thought less oxygen stops a fire. But anyways would C47's Jeeps and all the sup vehicles be equipped with the supplies or only certain vehicals.

Well what do you mean? Cargo vehicles carry the cargo(supplies, maybe even troops), assault carry mostly guns or even troops, and all out guns would be tanks.
Your answer would be certain vehicles. Like cargo vehicles ;)

ok Mr. Uber fighter Pilot dude :noid

So has anyone actually tried dropping a vehicle supply near a damage aircraft to see if maybe it already works?
-
1Plus44 was right so before you knock someone at least have your facts straight. Diving increases speed to the point where the fire is blown out like a match in the wind. Get going fast enough and you can even put out a oil fed fire. It was done in WW2 quite often and was a known emergency procedure. I agree with with him and there are tmes I would have paid perks for some fuel. I dont think damage should be fixed unless its light like a fuel or radiator leak. Adding fuel or ammo is alot easier and more realistic than fixing a broken wing.

True and sorry wasn't 100% on that fact about putting the fire out. Thank you steel for making it a fact :salute
-
We already have a command that lets you put missing parts back on your plane: .EF
-
+1 on this idea (from the original poster), but with a 3-5 minute repair delay, during which the engine cannot be restarted until AFTER you have held the start button for at least 10 seconds (this reasoning is because the pilot would presumably get out of the plane in the meantime, and getting back in would take some time).
Also, weren't pilots able to plug up oil/fuel leaks with chewing gum? This maybe completely untrue, but if it is true, it's added support to this
aircraft supplies idea. If it isn't true, I still support the Original Poster.

Whos uber. I dont fly uber planes that much. Just the P-47 mostly this tour.

Thank you for your answer, i was wonderin about that. :)

Although I have never seen anybody do it ingame!

By the way you talk, you have uber mad skillz

Not all of them no....... But:
14 kills in P51D
3 kills in C-Hog
8 kills in Fw152
4 kills in a Temp
15 kills in Spit XIV
so only 44 out of 176 were UBER, only about 25%. You're right!!! And almost 40% does come from the Jug.... Well Done.

His stats aint too bad. :D

Banshee it's not that far off-base. It's less gamey to avoid damage in the first place, than to take damage knowing that you have a 5min magic repair just a couple of miles away. And this repair couldn't realisticaly be implemented for the better of MA gameplay (the only place where this could fit in, since every other arena's less gamey, except for the DA and TA where there's no use for this at all), because it doesnt make sense to have it directly tied to field attrition. You'd have the guys steamrolling with repair enabled whereas guys on the short end of the stick would have their repair strat disabled.

Some good points here Moot, but also remember, when it comes to aircraft damage, for the most part it would be entirely too difficult for most to get the plane on the ground. So I doubt it would effect so much that way...... And also from a wartime (gametime) side.... The pilot driving aircraft supplies is not currently shooting at you, neither is the pilot waiting for them. So there is a certain amount of balancing that will go on.

And then this would give good reason to defend strats a little more..... Or at least Training starts.

For me I would prefer this to re arm pads.
So
- Get rid re-arm pads
- Allow aircraft supplies for rearm/refuel
- Allow aircraft supplies for repair (over time as per above)
Then we can build our own landing strips.
Or convert Vehicle fields into landing strips for refueling/re arming
All we need is aircraft supplies close to flat ground at vehicle spawn points.
Aircraft supplies would only be available from fields with aircraft hangers. Vehicles would have to spawn them to elsewhere.

I have never said i had mad skills in anything.
-
What about a vehicle that has to bring the supplies to the rearm pad and the vehicle driver gets perks for bringing them out. They take time for the repairs to be done based on damage extent? This will make making it back to base have a bit of meaning and might add a bit of fun to the guys doing the repairs while waiting for a squad to finish a mission and form up again.

Doubt that fact... He says that because he doesn't get shot up.
He has that i crash before i ever get into air skillz so he dont got no shot up probs. :D
