I posted about this before, just incase it didn't make an impression, here it is again. This is from Theater of War (a Maddox game) that has some relation to il2 and Clod (textures, and models maybe?) anyhow. I don't claim to be a programmer, but it seems its possible to do in this sim since they both share some similarities. Anyhow here is a video show in what we are talking about only with tanks:

BTW: How do you embed a video anyhow?
Thanks for looking,
