Supply Mission Rules for the C-47 and B-24D pilots
Regardless whether your supply mission succeeds or fails, supply pilots must always clearly inform the frame CO about the outcome of the mission. This so that he can keep the score.
*SUPPLY PLANES- CHOOSE 0 ai!!!!!
* B-24D pilots MUST choose the "C-87 Liberator Express" loadout option with cargo and no defensive guns. You are not allowed to select another loadout, or to drop the cargo during flight.
* If your B-24D starts shooting back at IJAAF planes, it means you have selected an incorrect loadout and must immediately ditch/crash to avoid cheating. It will count as a failed supply mission.
* If your supply plane gets shot down, it counts as a failed mission.
* If you crash into mountains or terrain, or even crash and die when landing, it counts as a failed mission.
* If you for any reason ditch at another location than the target airfield, either due to flying to low or to avoiding certain death by enemy fighters, it counts as a failed mission, but you might of course deny the enemy some kill points.
* Only landing at the target airfield will count as a succesful mission.
* Always clearly inform the frame CO about the outcome of your mission.
* Squad CO's please inform your pilots about the rules above.
