you know a shallow draft vessil that could load say 3 vehicals of any kindthat we could use in a mission type of situation.then pt's could run cover and it would give another way of attack.just an idea i know we dont have much water activity.plus it would be a cool way to attack.you wouldnt have to take an enme vh to land gv's on an island.

Was there anything like this in WWII? If so, this sounds like a great gameplay addition.

LCTs (landing craft, tank) would be very cool. Drop three or four tanks/trucks off on shore from a CV, giving our CV a much stronger ground assault role. LCTs would be even better if we had a Sherman.

A good site about LCTs, chairboy. A bit rough in presentation (MIDI music, eww), but lots of photos and good information.

Especially the "History" section.

I've been campaigning for a Sherman Calliope for a while now. The M8 just isn't cutting it as an Allied armor equivalent to a Panzer and Tiger.

I don't recall any mention of LVT's in a News post. Anyone know how long ago it was mentioned by HTC?
