i pissed off a panzer II and half of my squad included the driver and gunner were dead.
so i just switched on the driver as an assaulter and i was able to reloace it even if the driver died.
but lost it’s ability once hopped out.
otherwise if your driver dies and you would be stuck in the middle of nowhere might have been the worst that could happen. and hence, devs at least though about that.
he casts a spell on the vehicle and grants the power of being able to drive it to everyone inside the vehicle, but the effect vanishes once everyone goes out
like a magic wipe memory
it is dumb.
but i truly believe it was done for balance purposes i guess
also, as said, maybe that’s for the best so that you can grind the apc squad faster while keeping your vehicle near i suppose.
but undeniable cumberstone and somewhat time consuming…
I think I’ve exposed their logic.
Because if you have a rally point and you want to build a new one, you need an engineer. So they just used the same logic here, if you want to move this “mobile rally point”, you need an APC driver.
Completely ignoring the fact APC is so easier to spot. APC driver just weird hybrid of rifleman/assaulter, definitely not so versatile as engineer which can build structure to solve basically any problem.
And mainly, you can have only one APC driver. At least if I remember correctly.
Make the squad spawn withaut it as normal infantry like paratroopers easily solve this problem, aslo this should be applied to rider and tanker to, just for the sake of option
Which is something they could have block “for balance reasons”. If you have APCs deployed, you can’t build a rally point and vice versa.
It would make both things more unique, not so spammed. And mainly, APC would be more player friendly. You wouldn’t have to stressed out about death of APC driver.
Exactly, they need to stop this approach to things. I do understand it’s healthy for their financial income and so, but it’s definitely not healthy for the game overall.
I think they should let us move them, at least let the owner do it.
Anyone can steal a tank if the settings aren’t right. Anyone can fly a plane on airfield in normandy. Anyone can drive the busses in tunisia and the jeeps elsewhere. But, for some unknown and eldritch reason, only this one guy can drive this…bog standard heavy lift truck.
There’s no balance reason for it, either. Maybe, maybe the armored premium ones, but honestly they’re more useful as silent rallies than as gun platforms.
