LST's

[earl1937]

  While we are wishing! I would like to see 2 U.S. Navy LST's added to each CV group, whose purpose would be haul jeeps, tanks, M3's or any number of ground vehicles. The LST would drive right up to the shore line, just like the real ones, "Clam" shell doors in front would open and a player could select vehicle in hangar, just like selecting aircraft on the carrier, then drive the vehicle selected off and a ground mission would be launched.
What this would do, in my view, would add a necessary 4th ship to be destroyed, Carrier, Cruiser, 2 LST's. Instead of taking one aircraft of some kind and sink carrier, you would now have to launch a mission to destroy all 4 ships at once.
Talk about dog fights and surface battles, wow, this would add a whole new dimension to the game! I can just see a "wolf pack" of PT boats from a port or carrier, hunting down the ships and launching torpedo's for the kill!
Anyone else interested in this?

+1 - yep definitely could be a gameplay enhancer - were you thinking of it becoming a vehicle spawn point then?

[Arlo]

Interesting idea. I'm leaning toward a +1.

I was thinking it would already be loaded with certain vehicles, say 2 jeeps with either supplies or troops, 2 M3's, same type of load out, 2 tanks, size to be determined, because I am not a "tanker", so don't know which would be best. 2 Armed "Ducks", used as troop carriers, and they would all have to be offloaded on beach with Clam shell doors open, just like a bomber dropping bombs has to have bomb bay doors open. They, the LST's, of course would be armed with ack, just like the cruisers and destroyers and the carrier. I too, would have on board radar support system, like the carrier and a player would have to either preselect a vehicle before it lands, or have the option, just like the carrier to select a vehicle and drive off the boat after landing on the beach. You would be able to post a planned mission from this boat, which would launch when the boat hit the beach and opened doors!
I am ex Air Force, so there are probably things which I haven't thought of, so maybe you guys can fill in my blind spots on this wish!

You crazy genius. But this is a static object, eh? 

[Mano]

That's a terrible idea. It would absolutely ruin Aces High.

I like this idea 

I would like some of you guys who use the GV's in this game, list here which of GV's would be best suitable for this type of Idea! I am not a GV'er, so other than a M3 with supplies and or troops, I wouldn't know which of the other vehicles to load on the LST.
Who knows, Hi Tech might be interested in this idea, because I think it would enhance his marketing ideas for this great game and it might bring in some customers! War Thunder is the closest competitor to this game and I think something like this idea would give the game a whole new dimension for prospective customers to consider.

Probably one of the new Jad tanks, one of the panzers, an m4 w/ rockets  maybe a perked tank? (m18 or tiger 1?)  That way we get some of everything.

Definitely +1
