Ammo for parachutists

[mikem]

I joined in some parachutist action for germans and noticed something that needs improving. It is hard for parachutists to get more ammo (satchels and hand grenades mainly).

I remember reading from forums that opels were suggested for parachutists but idea was turned down by CRS.

I created four different ideas to fix this. These ideas honor the idea that paraschutists can't get mobile spawn points.

1. First idea is Ammo Resupply Unit. This building could be built near mission destination and it hands out ammo and acts as despawn location for parachutists. It cannot act as spawn point. It could only be build 500-3000 meters from mission destination.

2. Second idea is supply request sent by parachutist mission leader. If there is near mission destination friendly town with army/navy/air unit supply request is sent there. Anyone who takes this supply request can get one opel from this unit and it is loaned to paraschutist mission. He can then drive from Army Base to mission destination and hand out ammo. Benefit of this system would be that ammo truck driver is on same mission and it is easier to find those who need ammo. Ammo truck driver cannot place FRU.

3. Third idea is that transport plane acts as ammo resupply unit. Transport plane could land to road or place like that and it could hand out ammo.

4. Fourth idea is parachute ammo packs. Transport plane could drop parachute ammo packs to ground. Ammo packs have small parachute that allow them to land to ground and they could be shot down easily. Transport plane could have cooldown timer that allows him to drop one parachute ammo pack at a time.
