8 x 8 small amphib ATV

As used by Brit paras. Can be heli dropped.

Slow speed, can carry, eg, 4 blokes. Amphob and can go where no other vehicle can, except cliffs. Pros - surprise attacks, sneaky stuff. Cons - VERY slow, no armour, no guns except inf personal weapons... easy taken out with grenades, or HMGs, even claymores.

Thoughts?

Erm. How is it any better than a heavy jeep?

i like it. It would be extremely fun but i would fear every single 7.62mm round fired and hope the man was not a crack shot.
It would be appropriate for infantry only levels but not full scale armoured battles.
It looks like it could carry 4 people comfortably and quickly but it does look at little wierd...........it is like 4 quad bikes stuck together and therefore it is very coool. thanks

1. Amphibious.
2. Slower (a lot).
3. "Go anywhere" capability..

Thanks for all the constructiveness, guys...

Just throwing ideas about, is all, no need top be so hostile or negative, please. I'm all sensitive...

My point for it is as a go-anywhere tool, faster than walking, for a squad minus.

If its a no-go, then fine, but please help point me in a direction for any suggestions, as at the mo, I don't feel as if any are "Welcome".....

Ta.

lol dont feel bad!

the Gb forces have been drawn up a long time ago in what we were going to include in PR 1.0. I actually think this vehicle may have been brought up as a post 1.0 project, as we are planning on focusing on more logistical vehicles and team orientated vehicles. (Ural anyone?). But no, its a good idea, dont feel that your idea hasnt been taken into account.

lol dont feel bad, thats the risk you run when you have 51 pages full of ideas for the mod! At least your not the ones who have to go through them with a fine toothcomb every so often!

I alwayws make sure that any of my comments included both the negative and positives from my eyes adn then i sum it up with a mini conclution and add any extra ideas.
This avoids just meaniless coments and ensure that it is construtive to creating a more realistic PR.

Agree. Hence is why I made the "its slow with no armour and can be taken out by blah" ideas, mate.

As for a fine tooth comb - why would you comb your fine teeth...?

It's that time again! Start to trawl through the suggestions forums for each topic, and pick out the ones you like, posting them into the idea generator. Work begins as of April 6th 2006. All 51 pages perople!

On a lighter note, eggman is close to finishing his new game mode, paperwork. The layout has changed somewhat, and now pits users against each other to see who can fill in thier weapon forms aswell as SAT-12's the fastest. Post battle reports had to be scrapped after Archenemy found a Ctrl+c Ctrl+V glitch. This is realism at its best!

oh man at first i was like "oooh they are giving away another .3 secret!"

and i think this isnt a bad idea, they had something similar, if it was not the same vehicle on POE, it could rearm and heal, and went at a decent speed... dont think it was amphibious though. although it blew up if you drove into a rock.

not a bad idea... as long as it was faster or as fast as the boats, amphibious, and at least 75% faster then sprinting on land. and hopefully very quiet so you could actually sneak. although, i really just see it as a death trap for the most part.
