IIRC RealPara was mostly about data correction, and of course there'll be no need for that in LSA, will there?



... but remember those Jeeps with the Vickers guns?

Are they in LSA?

There is a AB Jeep, Vickers MMG.

[DasHoff]

yes they are, and they fucking suck. i stupidly deployed one; first shot took out the tyres, next couple of shots shot killed the crew. what a waste of 18 points

Don't want to be a wiseacre, but did the Paras really have that many MGs on their Jeeps? The last two pics looks more like 'Commando Cars', used by Special Forces, while the Paras had a single Vickers K-gun, like the 'better-used' Jeep on top pic... 

An interesting, but rather useless, fact: The guys from the Para recce used cookie-jars to store their ammunition, they were perfect for the round mags!

It's a unarmed car that is mostly open with an exposed fighting position. it's supposed to hit and run, using speed and surprise as it assets..against a prepared enemy well you know what happens.

7.92x56mm also is pretty much overkill on it.

[DasHoff]

yeah, i realise that. i would've thought it would be more for recon than open battle. but i decided to use one; thought it might be leet. aha

[7A_Woulf]

I've seen a few pictures of these guys fighting, and every time they are outside their Jeeps, fighting as regular infantry. (But the Jeeps are cool, I use them as soon as I can!)

[D.Ilse]

If I am taking a A/C out into combat, it's either a 234, M8 or Staghound

even then it's for infantry support and soft-targets. Not for engaging armour, even with something like the 251/22 or 234/4(both armed with 7.5cmL48 KwK)

Oddball just confirmed that the developers did tweak weapon and element protection values. And I think that most people in the MG42 thread would agree that this was a huge mistake. So to answer your question, yes, they'll be a need for data correction unless it's addressed in the upcoming patch.

do you find those jeepicons WAY to small? They are VERY tiny - at list IMHO

IIRC, in real life the Jeep column, which had been flown in at enormous expense, made a dash for Arnhem Bridge shortly after landing ... and was shot to ribbons en-route. However, in CC II RealPara they made useful machine gun carriers, as long as you kept them back from the front line.
