LVTs spawn on land, troops swim to town.

FesterMA, base 134. LVTs spawn well inland onto the field itself, troops run through water to get to town.
The LVTs were close enough to the town (assuming distance is under 1k there) that they merely had to spawn onto the shore, dump troops, exit, spawn again, dump troops, exit, spawn again, dump troops... you get the idea. Troops then run across what appears to be nearly 100 yrds of water. Tried to film it, quickly realized filmviewer doesn't record troops.

Not sure if LVTs spawning on shore is a bug, but it certainly opens up the door to abuse. The bit with the troops swimming was exremely frustrating. There were, no kidding, over 100 troops on the ground at one point. It was an absolute mess, and its extremely difficult to shoot troops in the water.

Anyway, since film doesn't work, thought I'd post it here.

Was quite the site to see, I landed 10 LVT kills and a ton of assists protecting that base. I would venture to guess no less than 60 LVT's were killed while land spawning and dumping there troops out. That's 600 troops we killed in order to keep our base. Was one of the best base defences I have seen in a while. Or atleast one of the more interesting base defence. Was great to see the guys in planes straffing the troops and not getting all rapped up about getting LVT kills, since we had a couple panzers there to deal with them. WTG Guys !!
