A squad of 3-4 people of only radiomen (maybe 1 engineer ) with the ability to call in a locust by airdrop ( taking the same time as a bombing run ) where they would be teleported into the tank once the tank was in the air dropping on any road ( 75m from active objective ) or vehicle spawn point. It would teleport you the same way a pilot would if they were far from the battle field showing text on the screen saying Locust inbound.
Another way to use the squad would be from the squad section screen and being able to drop in while inside the tank without having to be on the ground but you’ll only have 3 troops available.

At best this vehicle would be added the regular way. Maybe RT or event or maybe premium

Then just suggest adding it to the tech tree, maybe throw in some SPAA and British tanks as well
I just saw that the t22 locust is also called the m22 and theres plenty of posts about it also someone recently made a post about SPAA
Hahaha imagine at an event the launch of the M22 Locust and the other event being the Soviet flying tank, the Antonov AN-40, which is a T-60 falling from the sky launched by a bomber, hahaha my god it would laugh great although problematic, I liked your idea master, I give it a 1000/10

I mean a glider squad seems more fitting, have it come in the same way as paratroopers, but you need to select an open area for it to land, if you make it a BR3 squad, that seems fair then, since its weaponry isnt powerful enough to be OP even if flanking.
Maybe make it a BR1 tank, so if brought with another squad, it can be used in BR1 as a normal tank, or you can use it in your BR3 locked glider squad hence making it airmobile?

Was trying to look for options for other nations then, the german Me 321 Gigant could in theory carry a pz4 but, I dont know if it ever did so in combat operations, not pure cargo operations.
Perhaps just normal glider squads with lighter MG equipped jeeps could work too? Either way, an interesting idea, though I dont know how well it would mesh into the balance of the game.

The funny thing is that it launches something for which that freighter was not made and the M22 was and the AN-40 were also designed for that.
