I know this isnt the first time, but it would be so usefull and fun if we could pick up bailed and ditched squadmates if they were behind enemy lines.



a few days ago myself and a squadmate flew a long and exceiting P51 mission gaining a few kills each. on the return journey we got hit by flak over the big City depot and my wingman lost a wingtip.  he nursed it down to the edge of the city and i touched down and landed right next to him.
 he bailed and walked over to me then towered. I took off with a 109 a 4k icon vis coming right for me and had to hide low down behind a ridge of trees untill he went by not more than 3k above our heads.

with the canopy open it would certainly be possible to fit two men even  in a small fighter like the P51 cockpit and fly 12 miles on the deck to your base.

in an IL2 or SBD, you would gain a gunner.




all that would be the rule is you must bail out of your plane/GV and get to a close distance from a stationary a/c that could realisticly carry you.


in an IL2 the performance with 2 people would be very similar. in a P51 the performance and your ability to use the controls would be very limited with another body in there so maybe just limit it to the 2 seaters and GVs that can pick people up.


please consider it HTC, it would be more of an improvement than the pistol.

You could give the M3 an option to either take supplies, troops, or rescue a downed pilot.  I like ur idea.:noid
