Gavris Narcis -> Airplane launched ammo (8/18/2003 5:56:42 PM)

What you're opinion about airplane launch ammo ? Even with a long delay time ? I wondered for this when I play a long scenario and when after 5-6 turns my arty unit finished all ammo and for next almost 30 turns they ''take a breath''.

Well, assuming the aircraft exhausts all ammo on the first or second run (which any good pilot would do I guess), it does take time to return to base and make the plane ready for the next sortie. So I'm OK with long reload times.

So, could it be implemented ?

Hm...I'm not a scenario maker, so I'm out of my depth here, but here's an idea:

Is it possible to script the aircraft to automatically receive damage? I know it's done for some planes so that they won't return. Then you could assign another identical aircraft as a reinforcement later on.

Have no idea if that works, but I guess a 'workaround' is necessary since I don't think it's possible to adjust reload times directly....

another work around would be to receive more aircraft at different turns throughout the scenario

I'm against planes being reloaded in game time. Anyone have actual (historical!) data? Only mg rounds I can imagine being reloaded in 10 minutes or so, loading the bomb bays will take more time. And don't forget time spent in transit, landing and taxi-ing. Refuelling not to be forgotten.

During the Bulge and D-Day when fighters were doing round-the-clock attacks, they were doing more than 5 missions per day. The 9th Tactical Airforce during the breakout section of the Battle for France offered fighters on-call almost continuously, allowing Patton to attack in 4 different directions at once.
