Back to the original posts, the MSP maybe old but it works(most of the time). With type V you'd need many more aircraft to deliver the same amount equipment. eg. A MK1 with two MSP's could deliver up qto four TUL Land rovers (Piggy back 90's) or even two 105mm Guns and Two prime movers as well as enough ammunition to start the war.
With type V you get one Vehicle and no side stores.
I say, make an MSP 108" wide and be done with it.
I know QinetQ tried this and gave up in favour of type V.
