c-47 carry vehicles

[321BAR]

I could see the point if we had any advantage of scouting from the ground as opposed to the air.

there is an advantage...used against me and by me. Jeeps as scouts gain the advantage of knowing the terrain and enemy locations, (albeit the eyes in the sky are much better at locating the enemy but not small terrain features such as trees, line of sights, etc.)

I'm all for it.  You need a manned GV to drive into the C47.  Then you get a 2-fer kill when you see a low slow goon flying around!

So you have done some airborne training and have extricated a jeep, dropped via parachute, from the sand with an E-Tool?

Interesting............

Do you think all airdropped cargo floats gently to the ground like the power-ups from Contra?

     It does sound pretty bad, but not as interesting as watching a front loader break free from the pallet and
roll around the LZ.  Wish I could find that film of paradrop mishaps.

Looks about right 

[bagrat]

lol why? when has anyone ever been like "oh man were getting tore apart call someone to fly in a jeep from 2 sectors away so we can win this war!",

[Nemisis]

Not going to happen, I agree. More likely it will be "oh toejam , call in some A20's!!!!!!". However, it could be used to create a cache of V supplys in an area that isn't as vulnerable to shell fire (like in the little bowls on some of the burms, almost impossible to get a shell in one of those).

But I agree, it will be relatively useless, and mostly used when troops at a Vbase are down, and its too hot for a C-47 to make it in.

[THRASH99]

It would be so neet if a c-47 could carry a jeep or tank

LOL, it would. But this isn't modern warfare were you can up a C-17 and drop some tanks. The only thing I think it should stay with is the troops, vehicle and field supps.
