What all can carry troops now?
1. - SdKfz 251
2. - Jeep
3. - LVT
4. - c47
So what is Hitech testing by removing troop carrying from the M3, the jeep cannot carry feild supply's, and the M3 still can. While the SdK is an M3 by another name untouched. Is he trying to test player response before a major pending change to a defacto game institution so he doesn't drive players away? I bet almost everyone who uses the M3 for GV\base supply runs and troops has it in their favorites tab, and has to go looking for the jeep, LVT, SdK and c47 in the other tabs. If their response is to find the next equivalent in the list to do the same job, at this point when you are helping people to change life style habits, you add another small change. A larger change is easier to accept if you have been in the habit of change up to it.
The arguments in the forums over the M3 have been game play ideological to say the least, rancorous and divisive at other times. Major game changes or lack of in the past have been responded to by some players leaving the game. Hitech gets stuck balancing a both ends stick stinky from it's center, while hoping for good results and not having to grab either end.
Lazerr is in the ideologically rancorous camp as you can see.
