At the moment guerillas are forbidden from driving generated vehicles such as jeeps and Opel Blitzs, as well as player motorcycles that have been abandoned.
This needs to change.
There is for example a Tunisia map where the Allies spawn behind a sand dune and use generated jeeps to drive across a big expanse of desert to get to the outer buildings of the objective, under fire from the enemy.
Guerillas are forced to run the whole way so naturally get killed given there is zero cover.
It’s also just useful being able to drive vehicles.
Now I’m guessing the devs thought guerillas who could drive vehicles like Kubelwagens and jeeps would be OP. I question this thinking.
As far as firepower, guerillas are no different from a standard assault squad in a vehicle (they dont have AT weapons or LMGs either).
Being able to drive around is helpful, but not so advantageous to render a squad OP.
Remember, we’re relying upon generated vehicles that are not always present and often destroyed by artillery fire. Squads are still open to be killed.
Is more a map issue, some map aren’t suited for flanking instead other let you do it, some map aren’t suited for paratrooper and other yes, same for tank, plane ecc… All specialized squad are situational and work just in a determinate map or moment of the battle
I’ve been thinking about this lately. Guerrillas / Saboteurs are here to stay, we have to accept that. Now, how about we look for different ways to make their gameplay more interesting and not as gimmicky. Being able to find a method of transportation should be possible, specially for wide open flank maneuvers.
but that is irrelevant to them being able to use car or not cause who care? if someone want to use car they gonna use it even if the map is open wide like stalingrad factory map
je veux ma voiture d’accord? (i know it french but i learn that italian could understand it a bit so im testing it)
Is relevant for avoid spawn camping, Moscow museum conquest map let you flank toward the enemy spawn with cars, now this is half possible with normal infantry but guerilla can simply encircle the area and fire from behind the people who are spawning, now if you let them use a car they can do this in the first 30s of the battle, and if one player is just a nuisance 4 people who do thath coordinated become impossible to beat, just immagine a car Who keep ram people in your grey zone, again and again
It’s specifically OP with guerrillas because they can blitz to behind enemy lines with little risk to set up shop. There’s a thing called high risk, high reward for game mechanics to be balanced.
Something that has little risk and high reward in game is over powered. There has to be a high risk element to get behind enemy lines for them to be more balanced. You’re just trying to twist logic around here by saying its an ability problem. That IS the reason they cant drive
I’m 99% sure that guerilla can’t use vehicles because devs were affraid you would take a tank from your friend.
Tbh I don’t know if it would be any worse than what we already had.
Ive been playing for over 3 years now and Ive never really seen tanks taken except once or twice an abandoned M13 (usually stuck in a trench but still useable as an AA gun).
From my experience a soldier build for speed is faster than any land vehicle. Both beause of piss poor vehicle parameters (like acceleration, max speed and torque) and because of maps being awful.
But maybe I’m just a bad driver.
