Supply/Vehicle Drops

Simply put, I want to see a plane fly over when the Ammo Crates and Humvees fall out of the sky. I hate the mysterious Airdrop Fairy thing where the vehicles materialize from thin air and start weeble wobbling to the ground. This really isn't that much to ask for, it's really easy to do!

I know you devs are working on a lot of innovative stuff for .6 right now but hopefully you put this in for .7

Either the plane or the fairy, I would be happy either way

Edit: I just noticed that I posted this in the wrong forum

Maybe something along the lines of

But instead of jets and bombs, slow moving something or another =P

Someone made an air strike thing, maybe Devs could do similar...

Just pretend that it's the USMC orbital dropship deploying special RV crates into atmosphere!

Seriously, though, if you listen closely, when a crate is dropped, there is a sound of a propeller-driver cargo plane, like a C-130 or something along those lines. It's not actually visible, but then, it could be behind the clouds

Note that the supply drop is dropped from a long ways up takes a couple mins to drop down, while in vbf2 it appears at 20 feet or so.

i hope to see some kind of Hercules that can drop supplies and vehicles as if they were bombs, but im not gonna put any pressure on devs......yet....

herc could be used for airdrops on huge maps like kashan desert.

Remember if you have a plane appear low enough, on certain maps theyll be going through houses/mountains.

Great video. I particularly liked the runaway whatever-it-was-vehicle near the middle and again towards the end. The finale took the cake though!

I'm sorry but I can think of a 100 other things that the game could benefit from over a small eye candy add on. Maybe version 1.0 could benefit from a plane but right now I don't see it happening.
