B-24s used for resupply

I'll take it. But you don't have to land on the runway, any old dirt strip will do.

[Ack-Ack]

Highly unlikely, most of us (not including me, I actually am content with just the 234) have 1000's of buff perks to blow and I'm sure 15 perks is no big deal whatsoever.

As for the defensive guns, did they keep them on during these 'supply runs'?

No, regular B-24s were not used as transports.  The B-24s that were converted as transports (C-87/A, RY-1/2/3 and C-109) were all unarmed.

I thought they kept them, but I could be wrong  .

un armed in all the photos.

Of course, they were transport versions of the Liberator and came out of the factory unarmed.  The B-24s that were converted to C-87/As on the field also had their weapons removed.  They didn't need them and I don't recall seeing anything about any being lost due to enemy fighters.


ack-ack

I thought they flew near the front. But I'm a little tired, that could be part of the problem.

In the "Timeless Voices of Aviation" series, the crews speak of resupply missions to Army units as well as partisans .   No formations, just singles, no escorts.  These were armed bombers on special, volunteer missions.  Supplies were dropped low usually at night.   Hmmmmmm?  Maybe a balance to B-29 development in the game?  Something to think about.

[Nemisis]

how the hell is it a 'balance' to getting a B-29?

[Chalenge]

I think what he means is the B-29 can do a lot of damage and a B-24 as resupply can bring in double cargo.

[Nemisis]

Oh, OK. I thought he meant like it would kill the B-29's or something  .
