An idea for jeep and Kubelwagen
« on: March 12, 2025, 07:05:59 PM »

Beside the driver seat , the jeep and Kubelwagen have 3 empty seats .




Could it be possible to add a loadout of " 3 paratroopers " for these vehicles ?

So , they could drop the paratroopers in an aera to capture , for example .

Great idea, Draken.
Japanese Kurogane could benefit from this feature as well.

And while we are here, to remind that we can use existing players' controlled vehicles for artillery spotting.
Place the Arty object on the map and use the ground target padlock in the game.
A small Jeep can destroy a tank column. Isn't it great?  :P
Now, add some "Draken paratroopers" to the back seat, get closer to the enemy's air base (if it is capturable in the settings), call artillery support, eliminate AAA installations one by one, drive triumphally on the runway and drop the paratroopers and capture the base. SAS roque heroes in action! (On the SAS server, maybe?)

If artillery spotting is the goal , one non-driver equipped with map and
binos would be excellent in the front passenger seat.

Just a thought.

Well the FOO (Fwd Obsvn Officer) concept already exists in the C&C mod using the Stinson.  Look at target from aircraft.....hit key......artillery barrage appears on the area the pilot is looking at.  So I assume the same coding/config could be applied to a jeep?  Yes? No?

Probably, you mean "Arty" object/feature of C&C. After you spot the target, you need to use padlock (it should be active in the difficulty settings). Then you have on-screen confirmation and the "splash" warning.
Cool feature and yes, it works with Jeep, Kurogane and Wagen.
Unlike some other C&C feature, it works in multiplayer, in Ultrapack at least. It has been confirmed by the players of this mission:

Yes, Dimlee that's exactly what I mean.  I used it extensively on a Korea dogfight map/mission I put together in HSFX for our little group with lots of troops concentrations etc.  It worked like a charm the only glitch was the on-screen text has some extra characters but they don't interfere with the overall intent/function of the mod.  It is pretty much the only reason I enjoy flying the Stinson (which is quite slow and a relatively easy target LOL).

Tomoose, I agree about the Stinson. This C&C feature brings another life to the "second-line" aircraft!
