Higgins Boat
« on: March 16, 2008, 08:21:25 PM »
besides the lvt maybe the higgins boat would be a nice addition to the game
instead of driving to the town on coastal fields you could drive up the higgins boat up to the shore
and drop troops onto the shore, but maybe a different type of troop that actually looks like a soldier and is harder to kill

before you start hitting me with cons about this i just thought it would e a nice addition to the game :rock

Either troops would have to modeled to be able to run further or towns would have to be moved closer to the shore. I'd like to see the Higgins boat added, it's just that it wouldn't fit in right now.

Or you could drop them off at the shore and they would run on the base taking all the auto ack down, same with the town :lol

Circus cannons being towed by lvt's, fire troops at town from a distance, they could do flips and stuff in the air to avoid con's? Sorry couldn't resist. :rofl Don't really think we will see much more done for troop transport even though it would be nice eye candy. LST, troop nickname, Large Stationary Target.
