Devs are lazy
Maps are too small they would be uselles rn.
The developers jumped way over the IFVs/APCs unfortunately and skipped right to standard light and medium tanks so I dont really see alot of room for them.

Why not just add them in as a part of the rider squads? I see no issue with that really.

You definitely could as long as they have solid abilities or infantry that spawn with them. However you are now food for every light tank which will still dominate the battlefield. Even the smallest light tank will kill any half track in seconds. I just dont see alot of people using them when they can either pick a real tank or an assaulter squad off a rally point just like why you see very few motorcycle squads
Lets also remember we are now in the 30s for levels so seeing a half track unlocked at level 35 would be a pretty big let down for most players I think

Don’t we already have transport trucks and buses?
I would love to have a Halftrack equipped Panzer Grenadier squad. I could rave to reinforce a point or attack a flank with a 9 man infantry group, or , lay some supporting fire and then dismount.
I think motorcycles, while cool, are used infrequently because let’s face it. 2 troopers in a squad vs even a 5 man sniper squad is putting you at bad odds.
I do use them to occasionally race into the grey to nuke a camping tank with det packs, or to get a fast new rally point up while my team still has momentum from a previous capture , but beyond that they don’t get out much.
A full size motorized infantry squad however? Sign me up.
Just look at how many of us take the bus or cars to race to a point in Tunisia.
I think they’d find there place quickly once players realized the potential.
And they would be balanced enough given that any tank so much as looks at them and they are dead.
No…
Just no…
There are more pressing matters that the relatively minor issue of no tail gunners.
Again, no.
The motorbike class are exceptionally good in Tunisia in getting into position and flanking enemy units, remember that some campaigns are larger and more suited to these than others.
Not necessarily, they have said in a live stream they will come, likely as a “Rider” style class, and possibly not limited on numbers like tanks themselves.
I specifically use them for Rally Points and flanking moves, and for this, they are perfect.
If i use the bus, its usually to block an entrance to a capture point, more than to get into position.
Especially when it creates a nice death funnel 
yeah and its because of the “more pressing matters” that the fw 190 was bugged for 6 moths?
yeah compare an agile fast and small vehicle to this
Motorcylces may be agile and fast, but they get two whole soldiers and are abusrdly vulnerable to small arms. While they are tactically valuable anyway, I think there is definetly room for slower but more protective vehicles that spawn with a bit more troops than a motorcycle does. Could also have stuff like smoke launchers that let it offer more support to nearby infantry.
Different playstyles for the bus. For me its to get to the point with as many troops as I can manage.
I usually use mine to form a barrier and build a rally behind it. Not one person to date has nuke my rally behind a bus tactic.
And just in case they try, I usually mine the area at the corners since most people try and shoot it instead of grenade it.
For the Motorcycles, I was just trying to surmise why they are not popular.
I use them too as described in my previous post, but they are not the most viable tool when I can just hijack a car or bus and accomplish the same thing without a small pebble or little bump flipping me.
These two things are why I think mechanized infantry have a solid place in gameplay.
I could push through small arms fire and then punch a hole in a defensive line from behind. It would change the entire dynamic of the game for me.
Definately as well would make me and my friends build AT guns to counter as well.
I love move and counter move in this game.
Its a game of chess in the grand scheme of it all, and the more pieces I get, the better.

Perhaps if there was a game mode that uses all of the map at once instead of small sections the current maps may actually be big enough.

the master map is updated continuously and slowly it will take years to complete but that does not exclude that they can merge some maps: like d-day, ver sur mer, ruin de roux (all beach map) and make a great landing in normandy with more than 60 players
(In war thunder enduring confrontation style with player able to exit and re enter from the match thanks the fact there are no xp gain only fun)

smoke launchers and an lmg maybe
tbh the main problem i have with the jeeps and buses in the game rn is that when i get into them their either almost empty or cant fit my whole squad so if i were to just spawn with the right amount of troops already in a vechile i think that would be great
Maybe they haven’t found the cause of the bug? Maybe they have other issues to address, that one vehicle?.
Just because something isn’t fixed as soon as you want it too, doesn’t mean the Dev’s are lazy.
Again, Moscow, multiple maps would suit an armoured carrier like the M2
Tunisia has maps that can accomodate an M2
heck, even berlin has some maps that can easily factor in the M2
The bikes are neither fast nor adgile at the moment, which leads me to assume you’ve never actually played them. But having stated this, the M2, if added, wouldn’t be lighting fast like you would assume, it would be slow, vulnerable and lightly armed. BUT would provide cover and be an effective pushing force, something some teams could really do with RN.
Yeah I don’t have money to waste but sure they are faster more agile and smaller than an halftrack
Good when the will rework ALL the maps for making the halftracks viable i will not have anything to say
Cas and artillery disagree
6 fucking months, it’s like saying that the run command is broken and after 6 moths isn’t fixed its OK bc they didn’t find/have other thing to do.
Idc 6 months are an exorbitant amount of time, actually 6 months it’s basically half the life span of this game.
And the p-38g still bugged

I think those vehicles could be just scattered around map, near spawn points like Kubelwagens are now and everyone could use them for transport. I think there is no point for special class because they could be too easy 8-9 kills for every tanker and piat/panzerfaust carrier.

I wasn’t even referring to those, I was talking about the campaign unlock ones.
The only CAS I see is Suicide bombing, but even then, the roof mounted M2/ MG42 would be a good deterrent to CAS, artillery would be an issue, yes, but there are ways to avoid these.
Bethesda have bugs existent from Fallout 3 in their newest releases, soo, I mean, 6 months is nothing really.
