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.

How about dropping a single commando near the field who lobs mortars at the acks for a certaion amount of time.

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.

You're referring to special events though, that's entirely different from the MA. That would be a good place to experiment with the idea.
 But, I'm thinking of an scenario where lets say,.... you were in an enemy town taking down buildings, why would the red team want to drive a GV to hunt you down when all they would have to do is drop 5 guys in town and 5 at the spawn point. If it were me and I noticed my town flashing, that's the first thing I'd do. I could flood the town with troops very quickly I would argue.
