>It's weird that Pelicans are actually C-130 sized but have such a small troop complement. It can only carry a couple squads.
It makes sense when you realize the Pelicans need to be big enough to haul scorpions around. If you extended the troop compartment (and add an extra row of seats inside it) you'd get something that could more reasonably hold about a platoon of dudes.
