"The idea that American soldiers widely traded Jeeps for German Kubelwagens during WWII is largely a myth or exaggerated anecdote; while some isolated swaps might have occurred, Jeeps were prized American assets and Kubelwagens were unreliable, cheaply made German vehicles, making a large-scale, beneficial trade for Americans highly improbable, with the story often serving as a myth about battlefield exchange or wartime resourcefulness rather than reality"

The attractive part pf the story, to me, was low weight, lower ground pressure.

We don't have, currently, the game mechanism for that.

But, a four space light ground vehicle, is half the shipping volume of an air/raft, and a lot cheaper.

Either an eight or four space ground vehicle is going to be cheaper, especially if the area of operations is in the neighbourhood.

And if you double the cost, you get the airborne feature.
