DUKWs for US Army?
« on: 08-07-2012, 06:07:28 »
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DUKW

Used in landings on Italy and France, also used in later battles, and according to Band of Brothers (the book), used to transport the 101st Airborne on ground some point after Operation Market Garden.

Also plenty given to Canada, British, and Australian armies, Soviets too.

How 'bout it, will it ever make it in FH2? Either as a landing vehicle, same use as Schwimmwagen, or as a supply truck (due to role in bringing supplies to front).

They'd definitely be nice to see. I could see a DUKW on some maps with rivers, like Cobra for instance.

No doubt that would be great to see in the mod. I don't want to be a spoilsport and I have nothing against this idea but I wish the developers would give their full attention on creating the Eastern front and leave the West front alone for a moment after 2.45 is out.

Agreed. Also looks like we have a similiar vehicle. There should be a reason that the Ford GPA isn't used, right?

If only Cobra wasn't failed with terrain height. It was accident that all waters are so shallow wasn't it?

Is that thing amphibious ? Or is the water just shallow enough to ride through ?
