ammo supply by planes

[JOHN_MACCLANE]

Hi everybody !

New question.

ammo supply by airplanes can be fun (and historical ! ) ?

It is interresting !

From august to november 1942 for the soviet...

from november to january february 1942...

Actually that is not a bad suggestion if it is done properly. I assume you mean for a supply starved axis force on certain maps.

Me gusta.

But then, respawn is exactly the same thing because you get new troops with full ammo.

I love the idea. Squad Leader or Tank Commander could call it in just like they do with artillery or the new mortar & rocket strikes. Would be even better if tank ammunition crates can be dropped as well.

Resupply missions weren't something you could really call in during the encirclement. Seems to small a scale to happen real-time. You would expect the ammo to be airdropped behind your own lines, and not in the no man's zone. But who knows, I'm sure boxes could get dropped in the wrong area.

Could just have it done with static resupply boxes that look like they were dropped previously. It would be cool to see them falling in, though.

Ahhhh, but troops might not spawn with full ammo, maybe half or less

There are stories of Soviets raiding German supplies and using their smoke / flares to have the supplies dropped onto Soviet territory during Stalingrad

Dropped by recon planes?

not in the middle of a battle, no.

you could have an objective that was an ammo drop phaps, that either side could use to restock certain items.

That's what i'm thinking too, the idea could perhabs be worked into the campaign mode in some way, because that's a larger scale, but it would seem crowbarred in just for it's own sake if it was in the regular game-modes, which are just 20 minutes on one map really.

But yeah, it might work as an objective in the campaign mode in some fashion, but more thought is needed on that one..

Like said allready, supplies were not dropped in the middle of the combat. As in campaign mode, supplies can be portrayed just by using statistics. So there

There should be ammo supplies that appear to have been airdropped.
