Concept Squad - Half Tracks

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

@VoyoMayPL

It’s not my fault darkflow is an idiot.

time for redemption ehi.

@VoyoMayPL

You can already have it. We have:

• lmgs with shit dispersion and not functional bipods
• mg nests that are expensive and require a bunch of grind and have shit dispersion

not iconic mobile mg on tracks.

ain’t the same thing i’m aftraid.

beside, that’s on dev part for the dispersion ( which it’s mostly only present in stalingrad ).

the others, i think they can get the job done.

beside, halftracks are much more usefull than just being a mobile mg.

provides mobile cover ( which, yes, not many would use for one reason or another ), possible customization,

it’s a win win.

you like it, use it.

you don’t, you will not use it.

heck, free xps after all

@ErikaKalkbrenner

provides mobile cover

happy detpack + throw range noises

@ErikaKalkbrenner

you like it, use it.

you don’t, you will not use it.

I’d love to use them but imo they will be useless in current gameplay.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

@AchtColaAchtBier

I would not be surprised that much, if they bring them. Of course 64,99€ Premium.

well i hope that halftracks won’t be premium beside the ones with cannon versions.

such as the:

this one, i’ll might consider buying it.

I want that, Stuka zu Fuß

how different is it then a tank?

both can be taken out easily

@VoyoMayPL

I’d love to use them but imo they will be useless in current gameplay.

wellllllllllll

the same could be said by alot of things.

for example, shovels in stalingrad.

or, binocles and flasks.

people find them useless, i don’t, someone else doesn’t, and so go on.

a matter of opinion i suppose.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

if this will ever come for pve or anything, it’s a must buy for sure

[VoyoMayPL]

@ErikaKalkbrenner

how different is it then a tank

Tank can camp in the greyzone and still be usefulll.
Halftrack has to get close to be usefull.

@ErikaKalkbrenner

for example, shovels in stalingrad.

or, binocles and flasks

I have never seen any ot those in use.

Except shovel being used by my friend. He likes to fortify capture points and dig trentches.
He often gets <1000 exp for the match for his effort.

@VoyoMayPL

Tank can camp in the greyzone and still be usefulll.
Halftrack has to get close to be usefull.

i mean, to provide cover fire, you don’t necessarely need to be close.

you are not using a flame thrower tank.

which speaking of, all tanks have somewhat of good coax, hence, just mount one on it, and call it a day

@VoyoMayPL

just because you don’t see them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

and… the reason why they are in the game, it’s for the first reason of, allowing choices.

there’s quite enough, and as someone said better than me, kinda ironic that prototype weapons are in the game, yet no iconic halftracks are innit.

[AchtColaAchtBier-psn]

Now i have a bad feeling…

Flamethrower tank…

Sdfkz

Ohoh i guess it will be the lazy and simples Sdfkz

[VoyoMayPL]

@ErikaKalkbrenner

i mean, to provide cover fire, you don’t necessarely need to be close

That’s not what APC should do though. I’t not supposed to sit in the back with 5 soldiers in it and spray one MG.

It’s supposed to transport said 5 soldiers to the battle.

@ErikaKalkbrenner

allowing choices

More like an ilusion of choise.
Yes you can use a shovel, the game allows it. But if you don’t kill, you don’t earn exp.

Yes, the game allows for different gameplay styles. But it rewards only a few.

@ErikaKalkbrenner

there’s quite enough, and as someone said better than me, kinda ironic that prototype weapons are in the game, yet no iconic halftracks are innit

Don’t convince me that halftracks would be nice. I already know it.
Convince darkflow to change the gameplay so they can be more than a gimmic.

flametrower halftrack:

that’s the solution

@VoyoMayPL

they are supposed to provide cover for infantry, provide cover fire, and transport infantry.

beside, they can still be used for editor maps as well, where some of us make big maps.

but … i find a bit idiotic say that they have no place in the main game.

@VoyoMayPL

More like an ilusion of choise.
Yes you can use a shovel, the game allows it. But if you don’t kill, you don’t earn exp.

i mean, it’s a secondary tool. which allows me to get more kills if utilized correctly.

same goes for the binocles.

it provides me info. which i can share with the team, or keep in mind, and allow me to see and prioritize enemy reinforcements.

@VoyoMayPL

Yes, the game allows for different gameplay styles. But it rewards only a few.

which… do you really need a reward to do stuff that might help you?

you do it because you feel like, and it can actually help you.

beside, you are… not thinking for the future.

sure, we shouldn’t suggest everything based on " might come / will come ".

but it will at some point become usefull.

the sooner it gets, the latter we will not have to think about it.

@VoyoMayPL

Don’t convince me that halftracks would be nice. I already know it.
Convince darkflow to change the gameplay so they can be more than a gimmic.

yeah, not sure that will happen, but hopes and times will perhaps.

[AchtColaAchtBier-psn]

I would like it, not so much its the easy and lazy Solution for Devs
Better then nothing, like everything inGame.
Bigger Maps is the importants thing
BTW i did get a 200xp Boost, i’m scared before my First Match today. But maybe its a already started Conquest

good luck brother, you’ll probably need it

[VoyoMayPL]

@ErikaKalkbrenner

they are supposed to provide cover for infantry, provide cover fire, and transport infantry

cover - you are a magnet for AT weapons, that everybody has

cover fire - one inacurate mg, just get a tank

transport - 50-100m trip, more for a cool factor than actual purpose

@ErikaKalkbrenner

which… do you really need a reward to do stuff that might help you?

you do it because you feel like, and it can actually help you

Sadly the game is about grind and also the game doesn’t reward fun, it rewards killing.

@ErikaKalkbrenner

beside, you are… not thinking for the future.

Every time I wrote a suggestion on the forum, I thought about the future. And all I can tell is that the future sucks.

[gastanofrizzi]

@ErikaKalkbrenner

but … i find a bit idiotic say that they have no place in the main game.

If the game keep be played in small map wen a veichle need 5 minute for do 50m avoiding all the shit on the road, there is no place for them outside premium and event veichle, same go for AA veichle, obliviusly they can make a campaign were add them and make them functional but this mean old campaigns as to be erased because they cant use the new addition

[doshskia]

@ErikaKalkbrenner

they are supposed to provide cover for infantry, provide cover fire, and transport infantry.

well no
they are armored trucks, ment to not be disabled by arty
the MG on the german halftrack is infact a MG that will be removed when the soldiers dismount
the americans used theirs as make shift sleeping cabin, AA defence or armored logi
they are not made for front line combat, they are made for front line support, things like saveing the wounded, moving ammo, transporting, AA or radio networking

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

@VoyoMayPL

cover - you are a magnet for AT weapons, that everybody has

same goes for tanks… no difference.

@VoyoMayPL

cover fire - one inacurate mg, just get a tank

we… don’t even have the mg.

as… it will probably have the tank ones, which are quite accurate the tank ones… and considering that the 15 cm panzerwerfare has the mg 42, that one it’s quite accurate.

@VoyoMayPL

transport - 50-100m trip, more for a cool factor than actual purpose

we’re riding in style

but actually usefull for place some rally somewhere else.

yes, it isn’t small… nor " quiet " to not be heard or seen, but it has many uses.

just because you don’t like them, or find them useful, doesn’t mean that they are useless.

heck, we have bombers in stalingrad

where literally in all maps, there are only 2 open objectives. ( the fallen’s fighter square, and the open building near the universmag building )

@VoyoMayPL

Sadly the game is about grind and also the game doesn’t reward fun, it rewards killing.

well,
to get things done, don’t necessarely need an xp or stuff.

which, can be given to any moment for transporting other troops and what not.

as i said, i’d suggest my thread about it, that makes the halftrack usable for medkits, ammonutions and / or enginner trucks. that can be used for everyone, and parked somewhere near to objective, or used for fire cover.

nothing new that we haven’t discussed about:

Suggestion for a Rider's Class Rework - Concept idea

This Suggestion is not a priority. it can wait. but something that i would love to see in, and for the future, plus, it doesn’t have to be necesarelly what it’s being suggested, but it would be highly apreciated as it would enhance the whole experience [1(1)] the reason why this suggestion exist in the first place, it’s because currently the rider squad is probably one of the worst squad in this game in term of usefulness ( and in my honest opinion of course ). the premi…

you are just being pessmistic

( as… am i many times on this forum , but i either manage to lie to my self pretty darn well, or see a glimp of good things that can come )

well, train mode it’s the perfect example.

so the confrontation mode.

they have their uses.

not sure what are you on about regarding the first points that you made to be honest,

i guess that’s what they did in real life, but enlisted is not real life so…

yeah, not much of a valid point of you ask me.

well lets add lazer guns as enlisted is not real life so any counter is not a valid point
