BF2S Forums Landing Craft

Sounds like a better idea than those friggin boats... Have tanks spawn in the loading bay and load em on, drive them to the beach (I'm a Wake fan....) and blow the shit out of everything.

I reckon that in Iron Gator, the MECSF should get grappling hooks. There is only one way into the ship, except by chopper, and if you're lucky enough to get past the AT troops and Snipers on the flight deck of the ship, there's always an AT guy waiting for you, and the thing is, you're a sitting duck!

i agree i reckon a hover craft would be cool with a TOW on the back and couple of AA on it and room for lots of troops it would stand more of a chance and this isnt part of tis forum but how do u get signatures?

What you want ,but don't even realize, is the US Marine Corps AAAV.  Advanced Amphibious Assault  Vehicle.  Finishing final testing and design in 2006-2007, we have been told that it will start entering the fleet in 2007.  It is replacing the AAV originally produced in 1976. 

With a crew of three, a 30 mm bushwhacker cannon, with the most advanced targeting system for any armed vehicle, it will do over 25 knotsin the water, weighing in over 72,000 pounds!  Fully loaded with 18 combat ready Marines, and hitting any beach from "over the horizon".  In water mode the hull is almost boat like, then coming up to shore, just like a transformer toy the tracks deploy and it hits the beach!  Powered by an engine with over 2500 HP, she  can reach speeds over 65 mph!
