I would fly goons a lot, if it not ruins bomber scores.
If you get the base take, it really helps bomber score

This.
A single base capture can be worth a dozen deaths in the goon, easily.

I can not believe HTC listened to a few whining players  that had very little to do with base captures.  Surely this is some sort of joke.

These same whining players would love to land numerous goon kills.

If true, this is a dark day for AH.

Also the whiners you mentioned actually enjoy base taking.. we just enjoy the fights that used to go with it.

Rather than slithering around like a snake in the grass to destroy a maproom, or run supplies because they dont want to die defending.

After the removal of troops from M3s, bases were still being rolled.  I'm all for keeping the resupply of bases, towns and strats with the M3.

What all can carry troops now?

1. - SdKfz 251
2. - Jeep
3. - LVT
4. - c47

So what is Hitech testing by removing troop carrying from the M3, the jeep cannot carry feild supply's, and the M3 still can. While the SdK is an M3 by another name untouched. Is he trying to test player response before a major pending change to a defacto game institution so he doesn't drive players away? I bet almost everyone who uses the M3 for GV\base supply runs and troops has it in their favorites tab, and has to go looking for the jeep, LVT, SdK and c47 in the other tabs. If their response is to find the next equivalent in the list to do the same job, at this point when you are helping people to change life style habits, you add another small change. A larger change is easier to accept if you have been in the habit of change up to it.

The arguments in the forums over the M3 have been game play ideological to say the least, rancorous and divisive at other times. Major game changes or lack of in the past have been responded to by some players leaving the game. Hitech gets stuck balancing a both ends stick stinky from it's center, while hoping for good results and not having to grab either end.

Lazerr is in the ideologically rancorous camp as you can see. :O

I can do that only when it has been on for a full tour.
Also, if things would stay like this, I doubt there would be any big change in my numbers. I can only discern between 'bomber' and 'vehicle' base captures, and most M3 captures will simply be replaced by SdKfz captures and not goon ones.

Take a bunch of the SdKfz 251s loaded with rockets and troops all over town...   and maybe a single M4...

Rocket the place then all let troops run from all different directions...

See I knew Lazer got the point... It's the resupply that people are complaining about not the base taking but I don't have a problem with either just for the record

At least tell them how to use the rockets. I just tested them on a range, level ground to the target.

23 degree rockets - 1000yds.
45 degree rockets - 2250yds.

You can only fire them from the drivers seat. Zoom 100%, the aimpoint is the top of the first black band from the bottom of the pole seen through the drivers window. At 1000yds the rockets spread about 20-30ft. At 2250yds the rockets can spread up to 120ft. Rockets will hit short and long of the range given somewhat, they are not very accurate.
