Have AI B-24s fly low level supply missions, similar to Operation CARPETBAGGER
« on: March 13, 2022, 05:15:29 AM »
Have AI B-24s, with AI gunners, outfitted to fly low level resupply missions as part of supply system.

Similar to Operation CARPETBAGGER missions during WW2.

The CARPETBAGGER B-24s could be available to players to resupply, or drop "Joes" out the "Joe Hole" to capture bases.

A cargo hatch, called the "Joe Hole," replaced the B-24's ball-turret, and parachutists, called "Joes," dropped through it.

I haven't tried, but it may be possible with C-47s.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

The Halifax bomber, very similar to B-24, was used all over Europe to drop parachutists and supplies. I like this idea. We resup strats, but allow sup missions behind enemy lines.
