Please note, NOBODY had an "bright ideas" about how hovercraft should be handled previously to this and they have been in the OOB since Sp2 was released using the "amphibian" classes with all the drawback of associated with that AND if you check out the "Military Hovercrafts " thread I started in the OOB's section you'll see NO feedback whatsoever. So how much REAL interest was there ??? None.

As per your request, I did ask some friends who might know. unfortunately none had been near a Griffon, so I had no data to add.

Yes, and I do appreciate that you asked around but the end result, even with this inquiry, was no feedback on the questions I asked

The hovercraft in the game are really great. They add an additional dimension to the game. Just a small note on the US Navy LCAC. These large hovercraft are able to carry the current (and I expect the next) AAV. The game currently does not allow for hovercraft to carry any type of amphibians. Prior to the development of the AAAV/EFV, there was a plan to use LCACs to carry amtracs for Over the Horizon assaults (since they have a water speed and range greater than the amtrac).
Thanks

I know an LCAC could carry an M60 tank. Since we didn't have the M1 when I was in Norfolk I don't know if they can carry one of those. But that's a matter of mass not size. Unless the new EFV weighs more then an M60 did (witch it doesn't) there would be no problem carrying them. Tho I'm not sure if they could handle more then one due to the size of the well deck.

Shuhiir, you are correct about the capacity of the LCAC. It can carry the M1A1, and the AAV. So it should have no problem carrying the EFV, however only one of them. I think it can also carry four LAVs.
