Smoke dispenser and supply container for Lysander
« on: February 02, 2024, 12:49:00 PM »
Hello everyone,

I would like to propose this two additional options of armament for Lysander, with the hope that one day some of modder will be interested in it .

quote / caption:

This photo is from a test in December of 1939 carried out in French Algeria.
The Lysander is fitted with smoke screen equipment that has been filled with mustard gas. Sprays were conducted at low and high altitude by a Lysander and a Wellington Bomber. Six sheep were contaminated, as was clothing which was then worn by personnel.


No. 22 (army Co-operation) Group, Royal Air Force, June-november 1940.
Groundcrew pack a parachute into a supply dropper before fitting it to the stub winglets of a Westland Lysander Mark II of No. 225 Squadron RAF at Tilshead, Wiltshire.

Best regards,
Piotrek

There are already some smoke canisters in WAW, so it could be an adaptation of existing ordinance.  We should definitely add the capability for sheep to have gas masks though, or maybe sheep commandos...  dropping from the supply containers...

P.s. Apparently the Nazis already made such attempts:

You could also simply use triggers to activate ground smoke oblects when the a/c flies over the designated spot?

Hi tomoose,
Thank You for your suggestions 8), this is a good option, but more of them would be useful, especially since many planes are already equipped with both of these possibilities.
