Then, again, you need to do, as in heroes and generals, add personal transport,armored cars,apc,flaks at truck and other.
you don’t.
enginners can already build AA and they got buffed from before.
trucks and cars are already present, and more of them are yet to come placed on the map ( based on what devs said )
Well, the files are full of anti-aircraft guns on trucks
(2-3)xD
yeah, those eventually will be added.
not sure how though.
because they can furfill the same role as anti air and anti aircraft.
but, according to war thunder, the Sdkfz 222 it’s an anti aircraft scout car.
so, as said, 2 halftracks and 1 specilized role fighting vehicle.( i think )
what I “could” imagine, armored cars being limited to just one per team and then splitting said car into 2 groups:
-
very light armored vehicle with just a machine gun- needs to be possible to take out the vehicle easily by infantry tho.
-
better armored light vehicle with even less firepower, working as a troop transport/support vehicle, with the main job of bringing your teammates troops to the frontline, basically working as a taxi for your team.
those 2 “could” make sense, however the maps are small, and placing spawn radios sounds to be more effective than wasting one entire squad that could be playing the objective instead.
and light armored vehicle as an infantry support unit, sounds like something that would definitely have “abusive potential” ( ppl riding in cars behind tanks, doing TNT and then dropping off behind enemy lines to spawncamp etc)
So I guess, I just dont see the benefit of adding them in general, but I could be wrong ofc.

Anti-aircraft guns are terrible now, and such a machine would be more effective against aviation and infantry.
In War Thunder, anti-aircraft guns could destroy tanks like?
Yes m 8 it is tank and armored car
Ok, now you are talking about halftracks, though. I can’t think of a single WW2 example of an armoured car, that is usable as a troop carrier. Without that functionality they would just be a mobile machine gun. And tanks already provide that and more. The added mobility isn’t much of an advantage on most of these small maps, with some exceptions. Basically I would have to know ahead of time, which map and mode I am playing for armoured cars to be an attractive option.
As with everything else
transport vehicles in normandy and moscow are usable so i think they will be essential when they combine all the small maps of a campaign to move the infantry

even in the main thread speaks about halftracks.
that’s the point. there should be different squads for different specializations.
like, recon battalion that has scout cars,
anti air regiment with AA trucks/whatever,
and mechanized infantry with transporation vehicles.
it’s quite simple.
the m3?
the sdkfz rad?
the russian beefy armored car having 5 sits with a cannon on the back?
they can still be used as transport, but that’s not their main priority.
that’s the main point, innit?
yes, and no.
yes, they can do that, but they are slower and clunky.
that’s why more variety does not hurt.
and after all, people can bring what the want. they are not forced to use them.
i can name lots of maps that could benefict from those armored cars.
you kinda use them like a puma, peak, shoot, and relocate.
that’s basically how armored cars works.
not necessarely. just like tank and planes for non premium people, you adapt your self.
learn new strategies, and in the meanwhile, you gain experience.

And add a respawn function to halftracks as in heroes and generals
nope,
because you wouldn’t be able to customize them, and therefore have them as your own squad ( eventually, upgrade them ).
to do the simplest thing and have halftrucks as random vehicles on the map? bad idea right

it’s a bad idea because of the things mentioned above.
just because it’s a " simpler " idea doesn’t mean it’s the best one to " solve " the problem.
But this is not interconnected in any way
yes it is?
