I have seen activity when strafing a convoy where troops seem to vacate the vehicles and run to avoid being blown up during the strafing run. I was wondering if troop movements could also be seen over battlefields?
Say, when your flight is tasked with ground support and you are flying in low to soften up an enemy compound, you see advancing troops along with tanks towards the objective. The movie "The Longest Day" has a great scene of a german pilot flying over the D-Day beaches and you see all the allied troops running below as he strafes them. I would think it would a great addition, especially for invasion landing missions, or battle field CAS. Perhaps even simply see troops moving around at a given target objective.
