here is  a question.    why is it you can shoot troops in the air or on the ground.  but you can not shoot them while in the respective vehicle.  you would think that when you straffe you could kill a troop.

Because M3s and LVTs are shielded with the "Barrier of Life" ... not even a direct hit with a nuke can penetrate the "Barrier".

I think you should be able to shoot out a tire, maybe two of them.  But on the other hand the M3 - Ltv blow up kinda Fast.

LVT's are nearly impossible to kill when I attack them, and you used to be able to shoot our an M16's tires as well as an M8's.  was kind of neat.  But i agree you should be able to cap a few troops on a strafing run.

You can still knock wheels off of the M16/M3/M8. But as of yet, you cannot damage/destroy ordnance or payload on anything, be it a bomber, jabo, or vehicle. Ah well, maybe all the troops are smart enough to duck.

They put sand bags in them and hide behind them . you just cannot see them as they are cyber sand bags.

Besides if you can kill the troops it would only be fair that they could shoot back at you.

most of the troops ARE ducked down..scrambeling to retrieve the beers that fell when you made that sharp turn.....never want to be accused of alcohol abuse.. :aok

Imagine the frustration of repeatedly losing 1 or 2 guys to a strafe and the capture not happening. Guys getting strafed would simply despawn over and over until they just get sick of trying.

I think if U have troops in a M3 or LVT or even supplies, U should be able to see them sitting there until U leave them go.

filth your saying harder to take a base.  should be better for the smaller maps.  they might last a little bit longer.  but i do agree it will be harder

Capturing a base by LVT's is already hard enough, please leave the troops in peace and let them take your base ;)

When they leave the vehicle or land on the ground, they walk in a straight line towards the map room. They do not duck or run or return fire.

You're right... they should be even easier to kill.
