Title: 4 C-47s to a pilot?
Post by: faminz on May 15, 2002, 02:10:26 PM

Ok someone asked if this was included in the 4 bomber to a pilot option coming soon.
I personally cant see it but it started me thinking again....

1. Paratroops!!!  
Could this be the lead in to the proposed first person shooter option?  mmmmm can you see the invasion possibilities? See the chutes floating down from the 24 c-47's aftre the 40 ship bomber fleet comes over covered by the half dozen fighters.

2. Gliders!!!  Horsas or Gigants (two c-47's per glider?), again to deliver troops or supplies. Again this opens up great startegic possibilities but does mean that the defenses have to be given a boost to balance it somehow.

Either way it means that leadership and organisation would become essential, not so much for attacking but certainly for defense. This is a hidden part of AH often overlooked in the MA but a benefit of playing what can be essentially a role-playing simulation.
Being serious for a sec, leadership and organisation skills are two great benefits and big selling points of AH that really benefit those who wish to get involved.
Its great to see people who in real life would hesitate to be a leader come to the fore and start missions and lead squadrons.

oops sorry... back to the dakotas...

to paraphrase: forecast, aluminium overcast followed by silk rain!!

Yes, 4 C47's to a formation and it will require 40 troops for capture (G,D,R)

Incidently, the gliders thingy has been asked for since Beta, but thanks again for bringing up the idea once again, the more exposure, the better possibility!
