Jeeps with AC fuel
« on: January 30, 2011, 09:55:40 AM »
I would like jeeps with two 5 gallon Aircraft fuel cans as a ord option. Can't tell ya how many times I've had to take a ditch within sight of the runway with a perfectly good air craft. It would also make some very interesting tactical possibilities.

Ugh no!  that is why you have to pay attention to the fuel gauge on your aircraft.  Alos pay attention to your E6B.  You can also cut rpms back and make it home.  Just leanr fuel management.

Maybe the ability to tow you back to base, I would agree with. Probably not the gas can thought. But if you can find a jeep or M3 driver that would tow you back to the runway, that would be cool.

Actually you know what.  The more of think of this the more I think it is a fabulous idea.  Imagine running out of fuel and being able to land somewhere.  Have a squaddie drive you a jeep with some fuel fill her up and then take off again on the uneasy terrain and make it back to base.  It would get especially interesting if this was all attempted with enemies looming or even enemy tanks around.   :lol
I do think however, that a jeep fuel reload should only reload you 25% fuel regardless of how many reloads you get.  For example, if you land at a spawn, a jeep should not be able to reload you, end sortie, spawn reload you again.  25% cap on it.

Either way I see no reason why a jeep shouldn't be able to refuel an airplane and it would add nothing but fun to the game which is a big +1 for me.  On top of that, it would not be very difficult to code.  Probably some writing involved, but pretty basic concepts to add this into the game.

Could a jeep actually transport 25% of fuel for any aircraft?  
How many gallons is that for a plane like a 51, or a typh, or an F4 etc.?  Not even to mention attack bombers like A20's, 25's, etc that would carry much more fuel?
Would you need several jeeps to make the 25% amount?

-1 to this idea.

It's an extremely rare case that this would be used and it would take up too much time coding which can be used for more valuable things. Learn fuel management!!

It really wouldn't take that much time at all to code I don't believe. If a jeep is within 5 yds of landed airplane the jeep clicks refuel aircraft.  If pilot accepts refuel it takes 30 seconds, just like on the rearm pad.  All the tools to do this are already in the game in one shape or the other.
