You know I never thought of using the tank transporter to save an immobilised tank lol. Thanks for the idea.

In at least single player campaigns I try to save the crews by having either M113s on standby or a heli or two.

I try to keep my designing of User Campaigns as faithful to the historical TO&E as possible so had to come up with a way to simulate it. I forgot about the Pionierpanzer icon in the other OOB till Don reminded me.

Never actually used them in any game, but I can't think of anything else they'd be good for.

But what are the odds that some 2-wheel drive tractor trailer isn't going to get stuck in the same mud/marsh/stream that got your AFV or 4x4 stuck?

For laughs I once transported 8 tank transporters and one tank in side a single tank transporter. Another time I keep loading snipers until it couldn't carry any more, the odd thing was that the limit was reached before carry capacity was reached, perhaps some hard coded thing.

On a serious note, I have used them for holding about half a company of infantry and advancing along a road. It can be convenient to have all that firepower concentrated as long as you don't get attacked while in transit or before they can deploy and spread out.
