Tankers already have way too many vehicles. They got spaa, tank destroyers, light tanks, medium tanks and heavies. If these would be put in tanker 1 nobody would use them since even panzer 2 would be better. Having lightly armored infantry support vehicles in rider is the bets choice

What is the rider squad purpose?
Inferior tank but wont take tank slot in match, sounds good right?
Armored scout car is fit for the rider criteria to scout and flank enemy in such a high speed
Nothing.
And this suggestion changes nothing.
All squads cost the same number of tickets to spawn, regardless of how many squad members are present or in the squad.
You would still be spawning in a 3-4 man vehicle crew with maybe a machinegun and some different classes inside.
- This will not produce as many casualties as a tank.
- Will likely not have as much crew as a tank, so you’re still undermanned.
- APCs perform the role of mobile spawn point/troop transport better, and they already exist.
- If the goal is perform flanking maneuvers, wherever you’re driving would require that it be accessible by vehicle, it can’t magically scale cliffs or ford bodies of water that are more than 1.5m deep.
Alternatively, you could just run around in an infantry squad that isn’t limited to roads and other vehicle-accessible paths and inflict much more casualties with the fact that you have an entire squad, and not have to share between a single MG.
Well having a armored car with MG, and inside with an engineer and even a AT soldier - yeah that would be a good tool to reach flanks, build rallies, give some support fire and even hunt down tanks with AT launchers.
I think it would absolutely be an interesting squad for sure, especially when those bigger cars can fit more soldiers than a bike.

It would make the fact f2p worse as they have but 4 slots making vehicle spam even worse, who but f2p will play infantry when you can spam vehicles
I will say I have thought that maybe Tankettes should be given to Tankers. I view the Motorcycle and Transport to be more infantry than vehicle class. But a Tankette isn’t meant to be a taxi. Armored cars too are a little complicated
For now I think the next step is Rider 2 with basic unarmored cars

So why not just use a truck?
Same mobility
Can also carry a variety of soldiers
More stable and quieter spawn points
Large-caliber cannons can be mounted on it
Can use anti-tank rocket launchers on vehicles
Isn’t it better than armored vehicles in every aspect?
I agree that the armored vehicle concept is interesting
But I hope he’s not the new big iron coffin
I don’t want to see parasites driving these armored vehicles and shooting uselessly from behind.
They need a high caliber gun or a flamethrower
Otherwise they are useless except as roadblocks.
A special ability can be considered to buff these vehicles for example being able to go in the grey zone like guerrillas, this will extend the usable range for these vehicles instead of limiting them into the normal small battlefield.

Sorry, Truck is suppose to be a APC squad only
Yeah armed car for rider seems fit in Rider class style and concept too. Just like their bike, but they are more stable, quite fast, and not being a pain in the back to defeat it as infantry.
Do you want to see Gray Zone Machine Gun Tank 2.0?
Or have you seen people using a large number of armored vehicles as suicide barricades?
not exactly, you could have one as transport

yes
If most players have normal IQ, I would also like to see these things used by players.
but
At least 80% of the players in this game have the same IQ as the soldiers in LOL
So this kind of worthless equipment should not appear
it’s rather funny and apparently clear from few years by now.
it appears alternatives are a foreign concept to you.
not sure if anyone should reiterate to you at this point.
but;
it doesn’t have flaws.
one does not judge a fish for his inabilities to jump.
riders squads are a strike team.
or, use them for ambush, get somewhere quickly, place a rally on the flanks, and with the new update, be a support class.
just because YOU don’t use them, doesn’t mean others don’t. lol.
and just because it doesn’t suit your own playstyle, it doesn’t mean it should.
unlike what you believe, armored cars, tankettes or even just jeeps improves and gives alternatives to the rider class it self.
somewhat to appeal to a different play style or expand it’s capabilities.
since it’s rather pointless making a new class for such vehicles, the riders are the perfect choice to integrate them and expand their arsenal.
while still a niche class, it can provide and suit more playstyle for different people.
but you are quite naive to think that riders should be equal to tanks.
matter of fact, light vehicles weren’t used as tanks.
i know. shocker.
and as you are still probably wondering why people should switch to bikers from a tank with 3 slots,
they don’t have to.
they really don’t.
if they chose to do so because of the support role aspect, the speed or what else, it’s more than welcoming for them to do so.
but i digress with your understanding difficulties.
p.s. yes, unlike the apc squad you can take out the rider it self and place a trooper instead.
does make rider them selves pointless? no. because riders gets access to better driving perks to control the bike more easily while also getting access to better repair perks etc. making it an extremely good class for support as you would theoretically being able to repair vehicles, place ammo and medkits.
as it goes for the suggestion it self, it is somewhat of a plus one from me, except the introducing a new squad for it.
to be completely honest, a rework to riders 1 would be ideal. if not, riders type II could simply be just that. while riders type 1 could get access to other type of bikes, or tractors ( for whatever reason. i bet grinding is one. but i digress ).
while the second type of riders would ideally get access to weaponized ground vehicles such as tankettes, armored cars, scout cars etc.

Finally someone who could understand, I wanna give a rider squad a go but Bike physics are janky in this game and it doesnt fit the “offroad” style of harsh battlefield, Having a 4 wheeled vehicle tho makes more sense on that muddy and dirt road.
Its rare to see bike being used on Frontline than 4 wheeled vehicles. Tankette is a no go for rider class, people will miss used them as a tank and not as a recon vehicle. Same problem with armored car tho, people might use them in the middle of battlefield and become another roadblock. But jeep will be a good choice to live up the Rider purpose as a flanker and recon.
My idea to give Armored car to rider squad is to get them some protection againts small arms fire while they do their work in mid to upper BR without harming the balance, Best of this armored car to appear to me is on BR II or BR III.
