C-47s

Yes, 27 Troops may have fit in a real life C47, but how many would fit if each one had two coolers, and a sheep in each hand?

African or European sheep?

The thing is why does the amount of troops the carriers can carry have to be exactly the number of troops it needs to have to capture a base ('cept the jeep of course)?

Stop and think about it... if the goon were to let 15+ troops go, then killing more than 1 of the troops becomes a major event than just spraying a few MG rounds at them for the single troops kill and moving back to get the kill vs the carrier, or another attacking GV/aircraft.

I hope HTC at least considers the idea.

It is just a gameplay balance decision.

From looking at Cooldueds post, he was suppose to write "Told" not "Tolled" unless he intended one of the following meanings. So yes, he made a spelling mistake.

"toll 2 (tl)
v. tolled, toll·ing, tolls
v.tr.
1. To sound (a large bell) slowly at regular intervals.
2. To announce or summon by tolling.
v.intr.
To sound in slowly repeated single tones.
n.
1. The act of tolling.
2. The sound of a bell being struck."

What about the opposite?  Just make the requirement to capture a field 14 troops.  You would need more than one troop carrier.

Sound interesting?  Would it make things more fun?  Less fun?

like I tolled you before

 

how much did you toll him? anything over $5.00 is a total waste of money

how about this, we make the requirement 10 troops+3 sheep of European descent to capture a base. oh, and the sheep carry .50 cals fired from the hip

Don't forget the SAPP's standard blender (approx 37 lbs).  I believe it was Lute who got HTC to add that to the GoonieBird back in '08.

1 parson
2 imbedded reporters
1 camera man
4 minders (for the imbedded reporters and camera man)
1 "moral" officer
1 "logistics" officer
1 field secretary

I'm currently watching Band of Brother and in that series they have 8 paratroopers per plane, but I don't know if that is accurate in any way....
