LVT 2's
« on: November 16, 2017, 10:40:36 PM »
Launch 3 lvt's instead of a single. Have it operate like a bomber formation where you can jump from lvt to lvt.

-1 lvt is fine--get more people to launch lvts.

I don't like this idea but it probably needs to be put in for gameplays' sake.

-1 for formations....

But Lunatic, that is getting harder and harder to do. . .  When joined a few years ago and numbers were up more consistently, the call over country WOULD get you 3-6 people helping out... Now it's all about the dwindling fights we DO have, and people's valuable time.

It's sometimes hard enough to maneuver a single LVT through trees... what would happen if you try dragging along 2 drones when you try to squeeze through tree trunks?  Do the drones stop against a trunk, breaking up the formation or do they simply pass right through whatever is in the way?  Or, does the drone jam-up stop the LVT that's clear of trees?  Driving nightmare no matter what happens.

Consider also that every other vehicle/plane capable of carrying troops gets to bring a max of 10 troops... yet this suggestion would allow 30 troops to be brought to a map room.  30 running troops would present a pretty hard task to mow down 21 of them in a couple of passes to save a base take. 

Also, if done to LVT4s (and I know that wasn't the suggestion, just sayin') it would mean 3 boxes of supps, instantly restoring anything with a 30 min downtime.  Some don't like the idea of a single M-3 being able to resupp at all; this would surely make their heads explode.

It would still be a complete massacre if the LVTs spawned with drones.
