Title: Jeeps Loadout
Post by: BigR on March 21, 2006, 03:51:04 PM: Can we please get an option for not loading supplies on a Jeep. It kind of stinks that you cant up a jeep when supplies are down. I want to be able to scout around. THanks.

I also think Jeeps should be able to go with out supplies.

Post by: richard_rd on March 21, 2006, 09:55:54 PM: Be nice to have a TOW missle (Tube Launched, Optically Tracked, Wire Guided) mounted on a jeep to kill those pesky Tigers at 3.7K (max range) with one shot.

I would be willing to spend 500 perk points for that loadout (1 round only). Just think how cool it would be to quide that missle in through the optical site. You could even put effects in that if you shoot the Tow over water and the lead wires droup into the water the missle shorts out and goes off course. I got to shoot a live TOW round at Basic Training in the late 70's on the anti tank range, now that was probably one of the best minutes of my life when that bad boy hit target, turet flew striaght up just like the effects in AH2. :) :) :)

Come on, wire quided TOW's were available in 1970 , we are only off by 25 years historically speaking!!!

I was spotting Tigers ahead of an advancing group of Panzers today.

That would be cool. Run up on troop carrying M3's and stick a banana in it's tailpipe.

I was killed by 2 hits from a Tiger's pintle while facing him. Running away I survived 10 hits. Wooo....

Post by: Sabre on March 23, 2006, 04:08:00 PM: Yeah, how about the big recoiless rifle? Anyone got the specs on the one carried on the Willie? There's a private military muesem near me that let's guests in a couple times per year. They've got a jeep there with the RR mounted on it. Not sure what they targeted with it. Was it an AT weapon? Of was it used for softer targets or pill boxes?
