I think adding LST's would bring a little excitement into the game. This would really work on the island airfields that have no spawns. :banana:

And allow them to run like 50 troops... Hehehehe

can we have MG/AT bunkers on the shores too?

...and if they acted as mobile vehicle hangers once landed, that would be perfect! :aok

Now the question would be, how much damage would they be able to take before going boom? Since it turns into a hanger, would any damage it suffered before turning into one apply, or would it get a "fresh" hanger? And what of the player that controls said LST? Would he be stuck there, manning the guns, or will he be able to leave? The guns that he can no longer control, would they became AI ack?
I'm for it, don't get me wrong. :) Just some questions that would probably need answering. :aok
-
Damage - no different than any destroyer ship I guess but it is accumulative. No fresh hanger. If it got hit a few times before landing, damage would stay.
Control - once landed, bridge is abandoned except for the mannable guns.
AI Guns - I would expect it to have several AI guns no different than a destroyer.

There was already a terrain used in the AvA that had stationary LSTs on the shore that acted as hangers for tanks. You would spawn inside the LVT model and were able to drive out the front onto the beach (assuming it wasn't already camped). I can't remember if the LST hangers were destroyable though.. maybe.
-
Should there be a limit to the # of gvs that can spawn from it?
An endless supply of vehicles from a smaller landing craft seems a bit off, but then again that's what we can do from the fleets anyways.

I think you hit the nail on the head Ranger.

How about the load out being what a LST would have carried in one sortie :x

Load up the Italy map in an offline or custom arena and check out the ports about mid-way down west coast of Italy (think it's like p105 area). They are LSt's. Discovered them doing recon for the latest scenario. Very cool! :aok
