Title: could we get a landing craft
Post by: KNIFE on March 09, 2003, 11:41:39 AM

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?
