Tarantulas have proven their usefullness being able to deploy multiple types of units in matches but heres my idea :

Tarantula ability to load veicules after spawn :

-how ?

If a player spawns with an empty cargo hold, it would present then with a menu stating wich types of units to favor acess to cargo hold, upon choosing such the player then takes off lands in a convoy of moving veicules and the choosen veicule type will climb in the bay, giving the player the option to deploy them elswhere.

-why ?

Units in NO since they are land based veicules, are very slow, taking a long time to reach target and oftenly getting intercepted before even getting close to the target point, this would make tarantulas more menacing being able to deploy mbts in areas closer to enemy fields or weak platoons

-balance ?

Tarantulas are limited in storage, only being able to pick 2 veicules in the bay, this would make teamwork more rewarding as a group of 3 VL-49 could transport almost an entire platoon into enemy territory way faster, veicules such as recon trucks and lower weight veicules can be taken at a maximum of 2 per bay and, high weight veicules such as aa batteries and tanks in a singular exemplar due to weight limitation and as to not destroy balance. This would be a very usefull tactic in the new map to move units at places way faster then they would get.

-what about pala ? For the futur and faction specific airframes ?

No idea for the transport heli but imo it could have ropes to move veicules in single examplary

true

i just feel like your idea in its current state could be better or at least better rounded out
maybe there could be a depot that some vehicles go to to get picked up by tarants

In that case i would simply be better to make every veicules be tarantuals job

My idea here is for example

2 taras deploy with heavy priority enabled
They pick up tanks from a platoon thats far from its destinations
Move the tanks to a location filled with low recon trucks and empties it

Basically im going more on the idea that taras are supposed to be transports, and should be used like actual off road able tranports wich gets infantries out and in missions areas

you're only ever going to be able to carry what's on the tarantula armament right now because the max load is 20t. saying to carry tank is asking to carry 70-80t

you're going to break the damn thing whatnow

I can see this being usefull if there is little money for ground vehicles but 110mil just to move troops around seems odd to me maybe I'm missing something

#

But either way it's easier and faster if you just spawn a vl 49 with vehicles already inside

Yea tanks are maybe a tad bit of a bad idea but im thinking of being able to do something after having deployed your 2 trucks, whithout having to instantly go back to base, being able to pick up some more recon trucks or aa guns while going back could be nice

Tanks are too heavy but yeah I remember bugging devs to let us pick up vehicles too
