Recall we had this in AW with the mounted .50 cal.


ack-ack

That is a WC-63 (Dodge).  That'd be nice too.

No it wasn't.

 :huh I don't get the malfunction here, the GMC CCKW was a 2.5 ton truck.  :confused:

I apologize for my gap in memory.  I wasn't being as hostile as he assumed I was.    Correct the CCKW was a 2.5 ton cargo carrier that served in WWII.   

I'll always apologize when I'm wrong.    Sorry, LCCajun, but you should have been more relaxed.

Back on topic...

I think the truck would be a worthy addition, as it was used quite commonly I'm sure.

WTG!!!, a verry good idea, I THINK it was faster than almost all half-tracks, not sure though, but it would need to have the f3 third person view or at least rear view mirrors as even the jap naval bombers could kill it as it is...a truck, and as so, unarmored, the armored car would kill it with ease :noid. A good idea but it wouldn't really have a place if it dosen't have anything special or at least slighly better than its counter parts :cool:. The only problem is that I think you got the wrong war for the duce and a half (I think it was Korean war but don't quote me on that, as I may be wrong), but still an actual truck would be nice. :aok

Ya!  I had a Bish Horde of them (I was taking off from a Bish base after all) cut across the runway and mow me and my Ki-84 down!

I believe he'd like them to be used as well, aside from the convoys.

Here's mister I've played for a day and even though its really easy to kill the truck, what lightly armored or non-armored vehicle isn't easy to kill with aircraft?

If you're thinking of adding the CCKW, you might as well make it a "duck".  :D
