And I thought this was a euphemism for something else.

Though I have succesfully captured a base from an M3 while moving and dropping the troops, as long as doors are open they will drop and run ive found

I'd have a better chance in running into a Dodo Bird in the middle of rush hour, walking down the I-5 with two hookers in tow before I see a useful post from glock89- Ack-Ack

Facinating! - I tried it off line and in first and second gear at 3000 RPM they get out OK . Shift into third and they die! Good to know you don't have to stop though, as I never knew this before.

.salvo does work for troops however that does not mean all 10 leave at once... It only means you have to puch the button once for all the troops to begin releasing and do not have to continually push the relase buttoon for them to drop...

If youve tried it and it didnt work try it again and make sure youve typed in the correct command .salvo 10..  It works just fine.

I wonder if this is correctly modeled and if so where they got the data from :eek:

I know for sure that supplies (either type) will survive if your M3 or LVT is travelling less than 20 mph.  I have never tried it with troops as I didn't wish to risk losing them.  I don't think I'd want to jump out the back of a truck moving 20 mph though ;)
