Howdy,
I was gonna suggest something I saw in Experience WW2 mod. There are 2 options on a plane, one is bombs and one is supply crates. When selected supply crates and clicked right mouse button, the plane drops a supply crate with a parachute (basically the commander supply crate spawns behind the aircraft). and the locations of crates which hit the ground are shown on the minimap. Such as:
Plane dropping crate:
Note the little icon on the minimap:
I believe this could be applied to the map Invasion of Crete, and it would add a little pinch of more realism.
The XWW2 sytem is pretty roughly made, since the crate has a modern parachute, a plane can carry 8 crates, and the plane is a bomber. But it can be given to the Ju52 in FH2, right? It would have 2 or 1 crates...
Whadayathinkin'?
