Add high BR vehicles to the rider class

Riders are a gimmick that aren’t worth anybody’s time. They should possess armored fighting vehicles at higher BRs to make them more interesting to use.

In order to balance these vehicles in respect to each other, the ammo type and ammo availability should be kept in consideration

Some random suggestions for high BR rider vehicles:
Germany: Sdfkz 222
USA: M15 MGMC
USSR: BA-6
Japan: Type 93 armored car

I’m sure there are plenty of options riders can use, I just quickly came up with a few examples to provoke some discussion and feedback

It would still be just a:

Especially with every faction having Ofenrohr in basically every squad.

It would make them more interesting regardless. The rider class needs more attention

Honestly I dislike the idea of giving heavy cannons to APCs, they should be restricted to nothing heavier than heavy caliber machine guns

Well I would like to see different APC models in the game, players should have more choice. We need more TT, Event and Premium APCs.
Cannon APCs and AA APCs like Sd.Kfz.251/21 can stay as evetns.

this is not tank?

nuh uh

:crossed_swords:

i don’t agree with the premise of the suggestion.
or rather, foundations.

but more vehicles for rider IIs or whatever, THAT i can get behind.

although i have a strange feeling the next update will not be about these ones.
hope to be wrong.

not to crosspost, but i think riders II should cover more:
( mainly logistic support as well and other few things. fore more, Because of Jets, Create Rider II And give them AA Vehicles alongside Ground Vehicles ( Major Content Update Material ) )

I do want those things…but when you say high BR…
How high?

it’s SPG it’s inferior to tanks both in speed and armor. It couldn’t do much vs vehicles (unless you had suicidal wish with Stielgranate 42) as was mostly used as anti infantry/bunker crushing support vehicle

So it would be a cool vehicle for a Rider as it would be even more fragile and less versatile than Dicker Max or Marders. Plus it’s damn huge you will see it from miles away.

br3 at the very least, while they are basically br1 tanks, they wouldnt adhere to the tank limit of each team

if riders are forever stuck with motorcycles, they will forever be left behind in favor of more potent squads

perhaps jeeps with machine guns could be a good compromise - especially if they allow a larger squad size

it depends how you use them.

just because the W + LMB strat doesn’t always work doesn’t mean it’s bad.

requires a bit of brain and map knowledge.

ideal to flank, secure paras landing zone, place a rally, ambush enemy tanks and much more.

so, no.

but yes, more is always welcome.

Personally, the rider class IMOP has little value, especially when you can use an APC transporting more soldiers then a motorcycle. They just need to drop the rider class to level one since there is no APC there, and although the value is still small, it’s better then nothing at level one. I would possible use it in level one, especially now since I have nine slots reserved and have trouble finding nine at level one. Take the premium riders, change them to interchangeable weapons and drop the entire class to level one. Those who like them at other levels can just change the weapons. And DF while your at it, change all the other damn premium squads to interchangeable weapons so we who paid for them can use them where we want. :wink:
