No.  Why would a GV base stock AV gas and bombs?

Put it inside the selection hangar.

If you can get a plane fully in and get back out, then you deserve a rearm.

GV bases didn't use to have fuel for spotter aircraft or colored smoke markers... but one day, they just started stocking them.   :bhead

As I recall the Fi156 uses the same fuel GVs use, not the high octane fuels fighters and bombers use.

Flares weren't stocked at airfields either, prior to the Storch being added.

In short, you're comparing apples to watermelons.

This has been shot down multiple times by a multitude of sane people time and time again.

Let's hope it the trend continues.   :aok

oh... and a big fat F no.   :bhead

They do right now, AV gas for the aircraft that are currently located at the Vehicle base.    And they stockpile ords for the tanks, what's a few one hundred pounders going to cause.

I liked this idea, but it has been soundly defeated several times.... :cry

The aircraft at the GV base does not use high octane AV gas.  It may very well use the same gas as the jeep does.

Tanks carry 500 and 1000lb bombs now?

If a plane landed at a GV base for real and didn't have enough fuel to get home safely to an airfield, I think they would find it some fuel since it's easier to truck in than a plane is to truck out.  Also I'm sure they could reload machine gun aminishin, we all know they had that laying around.

I wouldnt mind seeing it, maybe with a 2 minute rearm time. Did every wartime airfield have a full GV hangar with every type of ammo? I'm no expert but i'm pretty sure they didn't. The rearm pads are already a game concession, so the historical arguement doesnt hold much water as far as I'm concerned.

My opposition against rearm pads on Vbases is purely based on gameplay :)



And by the way, the minimum OZ for the Argus 10C of the Fi 156 was 80.

Sure, thats cool, though a lot of objections seem use the historical arguement. I'd be happy to rearm and refuel my IL2 just as much as vulching one thats got a 2 minute wait  :devil. Anything that helps people kill more stuff usually leaves more options to get killed.

Sure.  Ok.  If the rearm time is, say, 24 hours while they truck in the fuel sure.

5 Minutes would be more in accordance with the current 1 minute for refuel/rearm at an airfield.

AV gas for m-18 and stork?

Nope.  Both use just regular 80 octane.

Does Aces model the fuel that the German aircraft were running on during the war, or does it give them the ideal full power and performance of the aircraft's engine as if it had the best fuel available?

No, tanks do not carry 500 and 1000lb bombs now, I never said they did, what I said was that the tank round that are used are stockpiled somewhere on the Vbase. I don't recall if fule is shown anywhere on a Vbase as a stockpiled item. ords are, troops but I don't think fuel is.   Does that mean there is no fuel for the tanks?  Get a grip, it's a game, and Hitech creations is pretty liberal with what it want's or intends.   I thought it might lead to more strat, more things to blow up, add something to the game play.

there are Fuel dumps on the base the little round things you know there 2 that sit right next to each other on either side of a Vbase

Tanks= Diesel= smoke @ start-up mostly  :D

german tigers and panzers along with the panther are all petrol fueled just like the M4 was so probably alot of white smoke on start up
