question about setting up recon plane

[Naj-Treg]

Good day all,

 

I have a question about setting up a recon plane.

 

I am constructing a multiplayer mission wich can be flown from both sides. It's a WWII setup.

To aquirre targets both sides needs to perfom a recon and land back @ base. For the allied side I use the TF-51 for the recon mission. Now I need a recon plane for the axis. For the recon I want an unarmed plane.

 

Now for the question:

 

Is it possible to assign a plane, for example the BF-109, and set it up unarmed and lock the possebility to re-arm the plane in the mission?

 

Only this recon Bf-109 needs to be un-armed. I create other groups wich are combat ready.

 

If this is possible how can i set it up?

I think, there is no problem. Just put guns ammo in 0%.

I wanted to do that, only problem is that the player can ask for a re-arm and re-fuel. When playing this way the recon plane has weapons. This is something I dont want to have for the recon plane at all times. All the other planes can carry weapons.

then you could let it return to an airport from its coalition with unlimited fuel but with no weapons

Expanding on Razor's idea...

If you launch your recon aircraft from an airbase held by the other coalition, ground crews would not respond if the player asks to rearm.

Place a single unarmed truck in the airbase and it should shift coalitions.

You could even use DEACTIVATE GROUP to remove the hostile unit and spawn a friendly one so the airbase behaves normally once the recon plane completes its mission. Several good candidates in Rus with Gelen/Novo; Krasnodar, and in GE with Tblisi/Vaziani/Soganlug.

Player could still land at a different base and rearm but if someone is that determined to break your stuff that's just rude. :)

Good luck, cool idea!
