It would be awesome to have a Bazooka team as a different version of troops. Drop them and they automatically go for the nearest parked enemy GV.

That would help with the hidden GV plague in the MA.

That is a great idea.  :salute

It will also encourage more fighting, as M-3s and C-47s make tempting targets.

Let me jump out of a jeep armed with a bazooka.  I drive up in a jeep, jump out, and now I am running around with a bazooka instead of just a pistol.

Why? Taking out ack can easily be done by a player in a plane.

With that logic, we don’t need any of the inquiry.

I'd be happy with a first person player/soldier with a rifle and two clips worth of ammo. I don't care if he bails from a plane or GV.

Looking around for someone else to make it happen.... :noid

Not really. Spotting a parked GV under a single tree is near impossible to spot from the air in any meaningful sense. Bazooka troops would fix that problem.

The base/town ack guns are easy to spot from the air and can be taken out pretty easily with any plane that has forward firing guns.

Why would you need GVs if you could just drop troops in? That would ruin the GV game overnight.

For Jaeger's setups. An LST parked on the beach with both troops and Jeeps running out with a similar force opposing.

I didn't notice anything that would change the GV game.
