I did a little research and discovered that historically, the Willys MB Jeep equipped with an M1919A4 .30-caliber machine gun on an M31 pedestal mount could carry up to 5 personnel, including the machine gunner.
However, there is an important distinction between seating capacity and combat crew configuration.
| Position |
Personnel |
| Driver |
1 |
| Front passenger |
1 |
| Rear-left passenger |
1 |
| Rear-right passenger |
1 |
| Machine gunner (standing at M1919A4) |
1 |
| Total |
5 |
Historical clarification:
- The standard Willys MB could carry a driver and three passengers (four seated occupants).
- The M1919A4’s M31 pedestal mount placed the gunner in a standing firing position between the front and rear seating areas.
- The gunner was an additional crew member, not an additional factory-installed seat.
My proposed count of 5 personnel (4 seated + 1 standing machine gunner) is a reasonable maximum crew configuration for the Enlisted Willys M1919A4 Jeep.
One qualification: five is a possible crew complement, not a universal official passenger rating for every armed Willys MB.
So would you like more seats added to the Willys M1919A4 Jeep?

To all Jeeps, Reto showed us that you can fit like seven soldiers in total on them.

I would rather only 4 personnel on all TT squads to differentiate between Event and Premiums.

I’d rather have the squads be as bad as possible to make people avoid using them
Unless you want the same angle limitations to aim as motorcycles, it’s not viable. The only solution would be to fit a 4th member as a loader.

This would make jeep squads much more viable, I’ll add other nations jeep squads need more soldiers too.
Why? That’s just mean to those who use jeeos. I use the event American jeep and it’s not too bad.

No. I hate gimmicky slop.
This update quite literally negatively affected every match in which people spawn jeeps… they are a complete waste.
So are some other squads to others opinions. I respectfully disagree that every class besides the Sabatour offers something. The jeeps can provides more heavy fire support, the Gurillas/partisans can go into the greyzonw and take care of grey zone tanks, APCS can act as mobile rallys and provide fire support, snipers can pick off enimes on encamp positions from a far distance, and so forth.
The American 50 cal browning jeep is very good at it’s BR for Japan’s maps

Oh no your 50 cal is shooting me when I can just wipe your entire squad with small arms… no, they aren’t IFVs.
I don’t know why you included this, APCs aren’t even the slightest bit bad
Too bad in most cases you can’t even do that of the tanker is mindful
Means nothing, I can pick off enemies from afar while also being on the objective… the fact you just defended snipers I don’t think I’d like to continue this discussion, you’re already too far gone.
About the only use these have is throwing soldiers somewhere quicker… when the same can be achieved for the entire team if you’d just build a rally point!
How many had a mounted gun
