Title: New message that tells u when u have resupplied and airfield
Post by: Torthaos on May 27, 2003, 06:07:58 PM

This is my fourth day of playing and i will get an account as soon as i get the cash to pay for it. A gripe not my only but my main is that i fly supplies in over bases but i never know if i have supplied it untill after i land. All i would like to see is a new message telling i that ur efforts were succeful maybe even one that tell u how many of ur paras go into a town even?

While in flight to re-supply a base...

Click on STRAT button on your clipboard
Find the Base you are attempting to re-supply
Highlight the base (they are listed by country then number)
The STRAT status will display on your clipboard.
Drop your supplies
Then hit the STRAT button again...
It will tell you Exactly what you resupplied.

Salute

Also, if you watch out of the cockpit, you will see a small "poof" (if you are on the ground)
or see if you got perk points in the hanger

With respect to both of your inputs,  thats not entirely true....
I've been playing for 2 years, and I have seen cases where I have the strat page up,  I drop the supplies, and I see the "poof" when the supplies land and there as been no change to the strat page,  and when I landed no perk points in the hanger.  
And it was a good drop, right in the near the center of the base or on the flightline itself.
Could have been a bug with the map or with that particular base or HQ.  

I agree, would be nice to have a system message saying supply drop sucessful, (not necessary, but nice to have)

Maj Tom,

I agree....as a resup guy on alot of missions it is hard to see if anything gets resupped.  The strat page works most of the time.  Also the landing and perk checking in hangar works most of the time as well (my method of choice).  Both methods, however, dont work 100% in my experience.

Not sure as I don't fly goons alot but I was told if you get no perks it didn't take. ie: either the field was resupplied before you dropped or you dropped too low etc...

Past that i do agree it'd be nice to see a "Resupply Successful" message just like the "You shot down XXX" message.
