I had them used for dispatch and "get arounds" in the XI Corps cantonments in my USMC cavalry campaign (pre-2000 summer offensive). As a gag, I made a point of having the players being constantly awakened by them while trying to sleep after night duty when they were learning the fatigue rules. That's what I always thought would be the biggest drawback: they're just loud as hell. Particularly in Twilight Poland where you don't have all the ambient noise of a modern society, those things are going to give huge bonuses to opponents RCN/OBS rolls. Great mobility, great range; just too loud to be tactically useful. My two cents.
