With as long a deployment/pack-up delay as HTC wants... please?  This would make for a real novelty in ground combat tactics.  Especialy if the 88 gets the same nearly invisible tracer as the fleets' 5" shells.  Even more so if we also get a choice of puffy flak loadouts...  It would also give something like a Jeep/M3/M16/M8 even more use as a spotter.
It would mean as much artillery bombardment as players would band together for, with little risk of exploiting such a powerful base of fire since it would have no protection beyond something like camo nets and some AA GVs like we have.  As few bombs as one of most single engined attackers carries would wipe out such a setup.  They could get muzzle fire animations comparable to what the fleet and shore battery guns got, so that they're hard to miss from relatively close passes, as in reality.

A drunk driver will run a stop sign. A stoned driver will stop until it turns green.

Now we will have "Quick, S...D...K...F...Z-2... 5...1 in town,  ah forget it, it's too late"

HILARIOUS!!!!!!!:rofl

I'll just call it the "stick fuzz."  Does that work?

See, that's odd for me, because several games have SDKs, System Development Kits, that allow you to mod certain things (create a mod, perhaps a map, do modeling, etc)...


SDKF.... Doesn't it have a nickname, like "Panzer"?


EDIT: I hereby dub it "Halftrack" because that's what it is and I recall a couple movies that just referred to it as such.
