Can 2 wildcat deliver the same number of pax into a urban environment as a single puma possibly?
By that argument we may as well use squirrels and drop them off in pairs

Clearly the aim is to get as many boots on the ground as possible at the start, and I think that when dropping into a hostile urban environment into a landing site which is too restrictive to fit a Chinook into that most commanders would prefer to get 16 troops on the ground than 8(?) then another 8. And then there's the hot/high performance, where Puma 2 outstrips just about anything apart from Chinook (yes, including the woefully underpowered Merlin).

Can puma do the wildcat job on ships no.
What job? What ships?
