aw mech

one of the best things in the game. deadly in many ways.but regular mech SUCK ASS. ONE BOMB AND YOU TAKE ALL OF THEM LOL!!! MAINLY USED AS NOOB MECH.BUT, to do somthing with this you should say like you can take guys put them in the half track and when enemys come they get out and atack at least 1 half track for 8 guys. NOw realy, they got mech in the game for atacking, when there main purpose is for carrying men and supressing fire not up in the front shooting tanks.IN real life theyd blow like shit on tanks. Someone got to get a expansion pack for this game some day. O ps there are NO JEEPS IN THIS GAME.Screen shot below all those infantry should fit in those half tracks.

yes i agree, it would be nice to be able to have halftracks carry soldiers.. I wonder if there is a way to mod the sea transport for use on land??

I still remember my surprise-- when playing this game the first time. "wait, if it's a mechanized infantry regiment why on earth are there soldiers WALKING?!?"

It's military duh that's why they are walking.

after looking at the code for Kohan 2 it's theoretically possible to give halftracks the ability to summon infantry units. (the game engine for Kohan 2 and A&A looks almost identical)

I haven't solved the coding problems for this one-- but I'd love to see this get implemented in the "Uncommon Valor" mod.

perhaps it would be better to leave the halftrack units with artillery and anti-tank regiments unchanged. this way the vanilla halftrack regiment would have a unique ability that makes it worth recruiting. it'd be nice if each halftrack could spawn four marines for close-quarters combat. that would give your four halftracks and 16 infantry units for fighting.

with a bit of help from studying a Chinese mod I figured out how to get halftracks to summon infantry. the problem was that it made mech regiments nearly invincible. so I restricted the infantry spawning halftracks to the vanilla stand-alone halftrack regiment. gives them something unique and useful.
