Trucks and Transports

[K K Rossokolski]

These are all good thoughts, and certainly remind one of ploys used by you people in gameplay. Not I, of course.
But why be serious all the time, even though the MB behaviour commissars are watching, sleeplessly recording missed commas or misuse of a parsed preparticipular pronoun gerundic clause.
Let's lighten up, move away from serious stuff like truck crimes, and get to something really hilarious like truck values and the plethora of exciting new capabilities such as trucks with and without covers.

I really like the doubling of truck capacity.... 3 trucks can now carry 6VPs. Great. Uses less petrol, keeps the QM and the greenies happy. And less stuff to move around.
Love the way other transport types are so treated....1/2Ts, crewed boats, ferries, AUVs, amphibious landing craft etc. (I am only using US OOB examples)
But why ignore DUKWs, rafts and uncrewed boats These are still 1 to 1. Makes no sense to me. I hope it is just an oversight in a very complicated data operation

I think the matter of transport VPs needs more work. (That's not saying Talonsoft got it 100% right all those years ago, although I think their relativities were generally good )..
To me, doubling truck capability....which is the keyword....means doubling VPs...from 1 to 2...NOT 3. From that basis an evaluation can be made as to relative capabilities of other transport units. A DUKW used to be worth 3 to a trucks 1. Now it is 2 to a trucks 3. And while the truck capacity has doubled and the DUKW has not (see above...overlooked?) the DUKW can still swim and the truck still cannot.
It may be more difficult to decide the relative value of the covered vs the uncovered truck, I fear. What about an uncovered duck?
Enough...you see my drift, I hope.
Really bad of me to break up a serious post and try to introduce some humour.:stir:
