allow c47s to carry 20troops

Give the Goon 12 to 15.    That gives it a slight edge over the M3.

It would already have a sight edge over the M3, if the number in the M3 was reduced.

As Bustr said, then you'll have tag team driving...

I like the idea of perhaps 8 troops in the M3, 12 or 13 in the C47, 10 in the German thingy with rockets..., and 3 in the jeep.

Seems like the right numbers to me.  Would allow for a couple of casualties during a C-47 drop, and create an incentive to use the German Thingy.

I doubt you'll see the goon ever carry more than the required "10", but I think it would be a good idea to drop the M3 to<less than> 10. Making more than one M3 having to make the run is a good thing. Another thought, time. If it takes an M3 5 minutes to run in from the spawn point and the goon 10 minutes to fly in you wont see much of a change. A fix would be to adjust the time troops "live" so that a single player couldn't make to troop drop in an M3 by himself.

I agree with the sentiment, but that would make thing too complicated for players. The short drive time for M3s is an issue of map design, and more specifically the placement of the spawn points. There are a few examples in which not enough thought was given to this aspect - some spawns are too close and some are in illogical direction relative to the attacked base and the origin base.

That's not the intent, what you are asking would also change the c47. I was just thinking of making it advantageous to use the 47 vs an m3.

Maybe this could help?
