Generally, teams in squad matches are brain dead. They dont try to protect the tank from nearby enemies or tanker just rush into enemy line and blown off. in Maps like berlin and stalingrad, using tank can be nightmare. Some dudes from community say adding other lighr squad vehicles like half tracks will be good. i dont think so. Even the heaviest tanks cant survive from that explosion/panzerfaust nightmare. Half tracks will end up moveable coffins for multitude of soldiers. I think devs can scatter out some of them in open maps like tunisia moscow same as jeeps.

They already have this in game though, I believe the motorcycle squads fit into this category, I think what they’re planning according to what I’ve heard through the grapevine is that things like half tracks would be added in the same category.
I agree that most people lose their tanks very quickly because they run them into the point and they get blown up with some kind of fantasy Death dealing tnt bundle.
And a lot of the campaigns have maps on them that are completely ridiculous because of how much crud is cluttered all over the place, in my opinion they were not designed with combined arms in mind, they’re definitely more of an infantry centric map because using vehicles on them is as you say something of a nightmare.
But I can even take the motorcycle combination and if I’m careful with our use it I can get quite a few kills with a machine gun by standing off a little ways, I would imagine anybody with a half track like a 251 could do the same thing.
This would also open the way for things like AA vehicles, and I believe they would probably go into the same slot.

also you didnt mention that tanks inside the game have shit movement that isnt track based. and some small pieces of debris can stop tank even though tank (or any other vehicle) shouldnt have problem going over it.
the pizza boys well never fail a delivery

I actually want to see mechanized infantry on halftracks become a thing in this game. Make it the same as motorcycle squads in that you can only have one active at a time, and fill it with a 9 man infantry squad that can zip around and cause a little havoc.
I think it would change so many dynamics on some maps though they do need to fix vehicle traction a bit, its still a bit wonky.
I think adding another vic would be a bad choice.
