B-24s used for resupply

[Frod]

Why not enable a resupply load for B-24s?  This was done routinely during WWII. Waddaya :Osay?

[Nemisis]

I say that your nuts  . I'd be VERY supprised if this hasn't been asked for. The board goes back to 2000 if I'm right. Someone almost HAD to have asked for this in the almost 10 years the BBs been here.

I think B-24 with cargo is a very good idea because like he said it was very normal for B-24 to fly supplies into bases. Plus a B-24 would be able to carry more so you could carry 2 boxes in place of 1. They would have to disable formations for that load out or people could resupply whole bases in 1 go.

Sounds good to me.

Very normal?

Yes, it was done.  But, very normal?

wrong way, I can't tell: is that a yes, or a no?

I agree with DemonFox on one thing, disable formations and give them 2 boxes, but there'd have to be some stipulations in place, 2 boxes of field supps in one load? That's a bit of resupp. Second, it wasn't routine (a heavily used purpose for the aircraft), so, I say a light perk on it (5 points?). This will give people a way to blow off their bomber perks, and, can make completly dropping a base a little bit more of a challenge.

In 'Shot at and Missed' the author writes (pg 40) about a rescue mission where B-24s and B-17s (with supporting fighters and attackers) went into enemy territory and rescued American POWs (1100) as the Germans and Russians were fighting for control of the city (Bucharest). 109s were still sitting on the field and it would have been nice if someone had thought to 'capture' one of them.

Trigger, if we do get it, it should be perked more like 15, because you can up field immedietly, and its faster than the C-47, AND it has defensive guns....

Valid point, I was just bringing up the idea of perking it, plus, it'd give us an something other than the 234s to spend our perks on.

trigger, has anyone ever told you your avatar looks like a depressed smiley face with a uni-brow if you look at it quickly?

BTW +1 on the idea

If all this is is a way to burn through perks, then we should be asking for something different all together. Clone, your right, i didn't see it at first, but now I do.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying no to the idea, just that it needs some work.

Erm. No? I though that it was common knowledge that that's what it was.

Anywho, like the idea, perk it, take out the formations, let it fly.

[Nemisis]

Perk it at 15 and that will get rid of at least 25% of the uppers, if not more like 50% or even 75%.

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'?
