Yes, I'm quite interested to see it in action.

I kinda doubt it will work vs ground but it would be interesting to see how it performs against A2 Bombs. Regular PDS seems to mostly ignore them right now.

It could be really useful in the future but I don't have high expectations for this patch.

Probably not. Ground Vehicles are usually quite expensive for how easy they are acquired ingame. But I will test it out for sure with the IAE rental and the subscriber test flight.

The workaround that worked for me is to not stack any crates on top of each other and send it down multiple times.

I don't think I'll trust it and still get naked. Or wear stuff that can be easily replaced.
