The Jeep can do this job much better yet no one is using them.

I used the jeep a bit as scouting for bar a couple of times. Most people don't use them because frankly, their is no reward for it. Sure, your helping someone out. But why take a jeep and scout for tanks with no reward for it, when you could up a tank yourself and get kills? I asked for some scouting reward to possibly encourage scouting, in which half the board jumped on me for it.

Anyways, +1. It would be a cool little gimmick to have, but what was its off-road capabilities? Maybe the sturmwagon should be added first, to give the Germans a scout-car like the Americans have the jeep.

I use them as well to deliver supplies but the OP was about taking bases. I don't remember the last time a Jeep was used for that purpose, since a bike carries even less troops it will defiantly not be used.

It could may be used due to its small profile to sneak troops in if theirs a heavy battle going on for a town and theirs only 2-3 troops needed.  Or even for patrolling for troops in a town, It would be a good troop hunter on the streets of town.

I held off 4 guys in EW by myself in a jeep one time using run&gun tactics on them. Hiding somewhere in town with a good view, shut engine off, listen for em, then once i know where they are, went after them.

Shot up 3 m3's and an sdk before they finally upped a t34 to hunt down my jeep  :rofl

I can imagine the FB Squad attacking a field with Motorcycles, Jeeps, and a few LVT's.
That would be an awesome spectacle to watch.   :D
