Its slower than a LVT on water? thats possible?
I say no, LVT is faster and has more armor, making it more likely to get on land

Have fun traveling at snow speeds to the town, besides like I said, if you have a lot of air cover it'd be perfect.

I, too, think this would be a good addition.

And "duck" tours are also currently available in Boston and New York. 

edit: The Boston vehicles are real DUKWs, but the NYC bus/boat looks a bit different from the WWII thing

I have been on the duck tours in Boston many times. It's alota fun. I vote yes to this idea.  :aok

The standard weapons were either a .30 or .50, just depended on what mount was installed and they were interchangable on the gun ring which was a factory option same as the duece and a half. They could lso carry up to 24 combat armed troops in the load bed, as well as several tons of supplies.......
you it can take GVs? like a jeep or light tank?

necessarily no because it has no ramps or launch bay doors but in theory it could hold a jeep but that's it

Redundant I think as it is higher profile then an lvt and probably not any faster in water but maybe so on land. I would think the armor wouldnt stop much.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

Unreal features of this game comes to a certain point. Your suggestion is precisely 3 miles, 60 yards, and 5 inches past that limit.
