Ok heres my idea I was wondering if it was possible to have a Tracter trailer truck that could carry some supply crates to set up a fire base and other structers for the base and a vehcile of some kind like a abrams,or 2 humvees, for those big maps that require a lot of traveling time. I think it would be a cool touch to the game cuz the army does use them.

Uhm, there is allready trucks to transports crates to the area where you want to build firebases (if you've played more than ½ a round you'll know that) or did you have something else in mind?

Humvees and equivalient used to spawn on firebases in previous versions but that was removed.
Moving a vehicle on a truck is afaik hardcoded.
And seriously, if you really think you'll need a vehicle, just spawn at main and drive it there directly, much easier. Yes, these trucks are used irl but that's for transporting to the mainbase itself, not 800m to a smaller fb.

Semi-tractor/trailer trucks have been suggested before. Unfortunately, articulated vehicles like that are not possible in this engine. Please use search in the future. :)
