Am I the only one who uses truck mounted infantry regularly? Early in the game, it makes it REALLY easy to rapidly capture facilities and quickly boost your funds. You can always disband the trucks later in the game if necessary. The ability of infantry to dismount at the end of the truck's movement and still move 3 hexes and capture a facility is rather handy.

Plus, it's awfully convenient to have a few infantry scattered about behind your front line when the enemy tries to sneak assault helos around to capture some of your facilities. Surprise SAM attacks on enemy airmobile infantry are always nice.

As the game progresses, I sometimes find myself buying a transport or two to bring these infantry back up to the front lines, if they're needed.

Transport copters I found more useful, and they carry 2 units.

I find myself using the machine guns on trucks for mop-up duty once in a while.

I don't think busy was the word for it. Laughing

Insane...lucky...but busy doesn't really seem to fit. Though I must admit, there were a few times that truck got supplies through in a pinch.

It died last night. Russian close air support (Su-25 Frogfoot: Rank D) came in and was wreaking havok in my lines. My Air Defense was getting overwhelmed (a half dozen attack helos will do that) and I couldn't protect it. It had just made B rank too. Sad

Hmm thats interesting,never knew that a few machine gun bullets could do so much...By the way whats with the infantry and men,they seem so hard to kill,especially with machine gun fire rifle rounds,or carbine shots.What is the most effective weapon to kill them with
