That is the largest airlift I believe of the war. The German.Was it 9th army? Was airsupplied for a little bit but every time they lost planes and could never get enough to the troops.
The Berlin airlift planes were not in constand threat of being shot down. If your referring to the berlin airlift it wasnt as easy and as straight forward as your implying. The proof is germany after ww2 where russia was saying you dont pass anymore and allies put so many planes in the sky to give west germany supplies. Originally posted by Québec:+ if you have air superiority in a sector of the world and you have a airfield, i think it is so so so easy to land there and give the supplies and take off again. I should be building hundreds of them to keep troops stocked for their daily combat operations when behind enemy lines until I can establish a primary transportation and ressuply route. As it stands right now I build 20 transports and then I full stop on it. In the game you should be rewarded for making hundreds of transports and maintaining air superiority for those transports to drop those supplies on your soldiers since the game functions on a day-by-day focus rather than a monthly or yearly basis like other Paradox games. Air supply kept the French fighting a lost battle much longer than if they didn't have it at all. And in the final one with Dien Bien Phu, yes the French lost but they lost because it was a lost battle from the start strategically. *Note: Yes, some of it is propaganda but in just a quick search you can easily find that while those videos are propaganda the contributions are noted by even the most cynical historians. For example, Dover to Calais is only 26 miles. You don't need a transport plane to fly from London to Moscow, just from a runway to where your troops are encircled which is usually less than 100 miles. Air ferry made all the difference in many combat areas throughout their use.Īlso, as for the range, the C-47 had a range of 1,600 miles. I'm sorry, but what you just said is absolutely wrong. If they include it it should be a short term positive effect - but it shouldn't be possible to maintain large divisions just with a few planes. Ranges of transport planes weren't so great and carrying capacity was meagre. Transporting trucks or tanks was near impossible. Not on the scale we're talking about here, an encircled battalion - yes - a few divisions (Stalingrad) - no. Originally posted by Dave:b) Air supply was never a thing that worked.
