Transport Aircraft Ammo Boxes Useless?
 

Iv never had a transport aircraft that can drop ammo boxes drop ammo to me. And Iv never been successful in delivering ammo from the plane either. One time when I used them, the person said the boxes dissapeared to quickly to get any ammo from them. It seems even if they worked better there not very usefull to gameplay anyway though.

What are other peoples experience with dropping ammo boxes from aircraft. Im curious if anyone has used these correctly and had it really contribute to winning. Sure there handy for use as a taxi or para-drop, but beyond that, when actually playing as a transport aircraft who has really aided the team. (And when I say usefull I don't mean nine-elevening the king tiger with the DC-3).

nah they are useless. they should drop some light infantry guns instead.

Maybe put a parachute on them for more accurate drop to infantry and change from ammo box to "supplies" so it gives ammo and health.

health would be much better yes, but they have model those para containers

Transports drop the only sniper kit in the map on that side.......imagine the players wanting that kit go beserk if a nOOb pilots the transporter....... :lol:

No, serious, i think that it should drop infantry equipment too, but stuff that isn't available in the menu, and is usefull to the players in the field. That means heavier or less available weapons like panzerschreck heavy AT kit, expack demolition kit, heavy tripod mg kit and rare scoped (semi) automatic weapons.

In large deserts dropping ammo crates can be invaluable, but in current FH there are no mapswith transpoter aircraft that have ammo crates far enough apart for that function to be any usefull.

Speaking of scoped automatic weapons, I never found the scoped STG44. Where the hell is it?
I wasted 1 hour of my life just by playing "Where's the scoped STG?"

The transport aircraft should drop dummy paratroopers like they did in real life lol that would be cool .

Re: Transport Aircraft Ammo Boxes Useless?
 

One can be found from the watermill in Breakhtrough.

Anyway, I think the plane dropped ammoboxes are next to useless. Instead they should drop light infantry- and anti-tank guns, tripod machineguns and different other supplies on parachutes.

I like the idea of health and rare weapons instead of crummy ammo.

It would also be interesting if they added a parachute to the kits/supplies being dropped similiar to the Japanese bomber(dont know its name).
