Please move the storch to manned ack role. Hear me out.
Most of the storch pilots are going to fly it to mark GVs and not to deliver supplies. Supplies dont give a lot of perks anyway so they wont be missed. Downing a Storch is no different than killing a manned ack and if a pilot bails he has a .45 to kill troops making him not more than a manned gun.
Score fanatics can then fly the Storch all they want without worrying about getting their pride hurt. The plane will be not much more than a drone target and really its primary role of supporting GVs will be better fulfilled.
I dont see a down side here.

And as an add on --- for each GV killed that is within x distance of my smoke I get perks.

I think you are missing the point. :bhead

...Which is, you don't want your death in a Storch to count against your "score".
Fly troops in a C-47 much?
Doubt it.

Yes whenever I want to. Your missing the point also. Let me paint you the picture.
The Storch is not a bomber. The risk-reward scenario is askew with this plane because for a lot of risk there is nearly zero reward. In fact it is all risk! So even though right now you can get people to fly the Storch eventually it will have one role - fly/bail/maproom.
We have mudhens aplenty (in abundance). Mudhens lay eggs in the mud and then spot GVs. The smoke is nearly superfluous (redundant). The Storch is too cool a plane to go the way of the Sd.Kzf dont you think?

I can't speak for most but i like being my teams "Eyes in the Sky" so to speak. Its nice to now that we can work together, I spot they shoot, and as far as perks and score, it doesn't matter much to me I don't use much perks :lol
