Is there any way that you could make a land and rearm mod??

If not what kind of completions you would run into( besides its being way to hard to make)

Something that allows you to reload in gunner positions would be great. They have extra drums and such in a number of the gunner cockpits as is (Ju-88, D3A1...). It would stand to logic you should be able to "make use" of them.

Yes that would be an nice thing to do Perhaps refueling to?

Each drum last for a surprisingly short amount of time. Each might hold only 100 rounds or so, and at the rate at which we fire, while being fired at, reloading would be incredibly challenging. Instead we have a gun which fires 1000+ rounds representing every drum.

Not to be an jerk, but hit refly :wink: But seriously, I don't see the point unless you mean some guys come out and open hatches on your plane, and start feeding ammo into the wings, etc. If you mean during offline campaigns, then it doesn't really work, because there are usually only enough targets in one mission for one go. And personally, I wouldn't like to fly an hour long mission to sit and wait another hour while I'm gassed, rearmed, etc. and then fly another hour long sortie. :lol:

I think Smash is probably referring to a refly option for single person or co-op missions.

Smash, there is a download for a new Moving Dogfight mod here

(The link is inoperative)

this allows you to make dogfight missions (i.e. refly enabled) with AI controlled, moving tanks, aircraft, ships and trians. Its very very cool. On saturday night I was running a mission where me and another squad member had to knock out a column of 16 tanks that were headed toward our airbase. We were in I153's and we would knock out 1-2 per sortie and head back to base to re-arm. It was great fun :-)

Good call Romanator.

Im talking for coops cuz im normally useless lol after three mins into the coop i think it would be awesome if you could head home land rearm and get back out there.

[stansdds]

Rearming and refueling has been something that many in the Il2 community have requested many times since the sim was released many years ago.

[screwball]

Lots of feedback - largely positive - but no real answers...is there any 'official' stance on this?

Personally, I'd love to see this. With two very promising Channel maps in development, an increasing number of increasingly accurate aircraft from pre-BoB to post-war, this is one thing that would increase options open to mission builders and players alike. For example, the BoB would be all that more realistic in feel (from both sides) if there was a real sense of a running battle, rather than 'mission accomplished' atmosphere, that would arise if Brit fighters could land, rearm and take up the fight again. Nobody's saying you have to, and you might be too tired/badly shot up/bored/whatever...but surely it can't be a bad thing to have this option?

However, there have also been persistent problems with getting the AI to taxi to takeoff (although I seem to remember that some progress was being made in this direction a few months back, has anyone got any info?), so there are two pretty big issues to be dealt with it seems.

So +many from me - but is it a realistic hope?

I hope some day lol i fly coops pretty much every day (yes flying is my life rofl) and i swear i say "they sould make a rearm mod" ever time. yes i pray and spray. i think it would make the game SOoo much Better then it already is. thats the only thing i can think of that would make that a huge difference in this Flightsim.

[rossmum]

It'd certainly do wonders for any BoB campaigns in the future, though I'm not entirely sure it's possible at all. If it is, I say go for it. If not, I guess we'll have to wait and see how things work in SoW.

[jermin]

This is indeed a nice suggestion.

[HH_Cipher]

It should be made as an offline mod. Because the gunners may have more ammo than the game originally gave them. So online play will be unfair.

Im not saying that this mod shouldn't be made. It would be rather good if some mods which change things such as this could be played only offline.

[Smash]

As you say it it would be only played offline Fairly online be a little out guned be i dont see anything wrong with just a lil more ammo.
