Whoa! brainstorm!

[fephisto]

Just got an idea, tell me if you think this is a good idea to include in a mod.

APCs

Something that isn't a helicopter, that's as defensive as a tank, that can hold maybe 6 infantry and move really fast across the land to transport infantry fast.

What do you think?

It would be valuable to support your tanks before MI.

 

[GenMarshall]

Sounds good, though the bad part would be that you cant load a transport unit into another transport unit (Example: You cant load a Land Transport onto a Transport ship)

However, isn't the Mech Infantry already a company of infantry in APCs? THe graphics would seem to indicate that this is the case. However, I wish that Mech Infantry had more movement, maybe 2. This would allow a more rapid attack if you are bringing MI along with your tanks/MAs as defense.

 

[Angmar]

the Mechanical Infantry is Infantry in APCs. And they do have a movement of 2

Oops, i just checked the units section and you're right. I have never used Mech Infantry on offense, i just station them in my cities as defense while I built the spaceship. Since I had railroads it never occured to me to check their movement rate. But the artillery will still slow down a concerted assault.
