New Mission for Normandy

[357th_Esco]

With the introduction of Normandy on the horizon will we get a new mission “Beer run” type? The troops need their supplies!

Bloody HELL! It's bad enough when a can of beer gets shaken in your bag on the way home from the shop. Imagine the explosion after dropping it from a plane!!

The Battle of Bitter

Not sure this is the highest priority for the devs, especially since drop tanks are not in game yet.

[Soilworker]

I would love this ?

So many kegs delivered = moral boost. The further the front line moves on the next map. ?

There are so many things that need sorting in the game and are, or should be labelled as a priority, and you come up with this?

I read about a hurricane squad that where flying over the channel with all sort of stuff packed i a droptank in the days and weeks after d-day. They took videofootage from the battles with them back to England. They opperated in all sorts of bad weather and lost some pilots to it. Dont think they met any luftwaffe resistance but coud make an interessting mini campain if someone made it ?

I think it is a priority for these boys to get a cold one after all they have been thru!

New Mission "PSYOPS Leaflet Drop"

The more leaflets dropped over the enemy= less moral, more frontline lost on the next map.

I imagine the original pic was published on 01/04/1945

Long term : ask virtual reality  boffins  to render in virtual kegs of beer, but in the short term bring a “durn cold “ 6 pack of lager to your gaming spot?

British and american pilots also did ice cream missions...

It'd actually be pretty cool to conduct ferry missions like that - or the Hurricane II mail carrier. It'd certainly be a bit different from a C-47 career.
