We need a troops update

[Clone155]

I think the next update after this big one should be all about the troops

I want troops that can actually run, or at least look like real soldiers. I would also like the C47 updated, since the thing doesn't even have a flight stick. And lets not forget the M3, the LVT2, and maybe even the jeep (pimped out jeeps!).

Also, the JU-52 would satisfy my German needs when delivering troops (WTG with the SDK-251 BTW )

the german kubelwagen but im not gonna post much about it cause there may already be some forum post about it

I like the way troops moonwalk through/over buildings.

You mean you don't like the skiing cardboard lemmings that take over bases?

This would be cool if each of them had his own, slightly randomized path finding algorithm so they would not run in a line but scatter a bit. Oh yes, and they'd shoot bailed out pilots with their rifles too.

Troops ie infantry some thoughts

Should interact with the terrian in a better way............ (ie stay on the ground)
be neat if they ran a speudo random pattern.
went into crouch when opposing troops are in range and shoot at them (m3 for x rnds)
went into crouch when opposing town buildings are in range and shoot at them (m3 for x rnds)
went belly down when one was killed (for x>y secs  then up and on)
retired to Barracks if left to defend unopposed more than x minutes
number of troops deployed from a field would be limited to y (20?) per undestroyed barrack object.

and give them actual airborne skins....unless of coarse there the army air corps special forces

I'd like them to be less uber - a 5" round from a SB or a 250lb bomb or a 5" rocket should kill all 10 troops easily, not just the 1 or 2 nearest to it. they seem to be far too splash-proof.

I disagree. The game isn't really about what the troops look like. I do think the C-47 and M3 should be upgraded though, along with adding the tank-destroyer variant of the M3

Wow, really? I think next NFL season should be all about the defensive back coaches.

I think our next Presidential election should be all about the winner of the fifth caucus.

  My two cents... how about giving the "troops" a uniform other than the "pilot" garb and do away with the "retard" stance of the right arm extended with a pistol. Maybe make it so the "troops" arm/s were in the down position by default and if an opposing enemy troop was within range then they pointed the pistol. Or even when you bailed the pistol could be raised into position by the person controlling the downed/bailed pilot with a push of a button. Just a thought.

I have a good model to work off of for updating troops...
