Would like to meet the person here that thinks I am a normal pleb.
idk… me?
granted, you’re way pessimistic on some front ( and maybe, so am i )
but… whatever
We’re already accustomed to such pointless things. I suspect they’re just Darkflow’s way of fobbing us off. Darkflow does this kind of thing all the time. At least, motorcycles aren’t suitable for our game, considering the rugged terrain and intense firepower. I hope cavalry units on horseback can be introduced into our game. Even if they might not be more practical than motorcycles, they’d be really cool.

see, that’s where our opinions differ.
bikes are perfectly usable for this game.
just not alot of people learned how to drive them.
or use them efficiently.
which it’s another can of worms.
but my point was, riders aren’t popular. nor should be.
these new bikes will not change that. ( where i was a bit hoping that they would )
I love them tbh
Call me crazy or whatever I’m still using jap and Russian bike in high br (I just use it as discount APC tbh)

are you going to swap them with any of these new ones?
Of course once I max them (and depends if they are premium or not)
Ok I guess I should be a bit more specific I really love the Russian one definitely will swap once I max the TT one
like, you’d think the type 11 would be TT and te-4 as an event/ premium.
and kinda the same with the soviet one.
but on second though, probably best for most people for the dp27 being in the tt, and… funni at rifle event/premium
The PTRS one would be a nice meme machine to troll German tankers a bit.
However i don’t get the fact that only the soviets get an event motorbike and all the Japanese are getting is a worse version of the already existing vehicle that they’ll have to pay money for (Soviets will be also getting their premium counterpart).

I like Riders. I welcome more bikes!
this happens with tanks, so anyone actually playing the game will understand…
I have yet to be warned/bonked for posting stuff from the test server and my post about the preferred MM leak from the server itself is still up even if that officially is still unconfirmed with the details.
New bikes can be interesting but as you also said these variants seem rather poor
The only interesting thing about the upcoming Japanese-Russian event is the tiger 1 but we still haven’t understood if it is paid or not since you have to buy it with gold but it has the event symbol (I pray to God that it is not a new FOMO system)
this is the main reason why I want to see a community-created content system like WT has done several times
DF doesn’t seem to have the ability (or the desire) to do this stuff? Then let the community do it!
not only would it save DF a lot of time and resources (and improve the already very deteriorated relationship with the community) but it would give the possibility to introduce a lot of minor content that the community is constantly asking for
it’s basically a win for both sides !
the armored version with anti-aircraft MG would be a lot of fun
P.S.
I wrote this message at lunchtime but due to the activity obligation I posted it only now at 10pm can we remove this damn obligation or at least extend it

A big pro these bikes will have over their TT counterparts is that the engineer will have access to the various weapon emplacements. This will kind of make that AT gun more of a gimmick. Why dent the enemy tank when I can just hop off and build something that will kill it?
And I’m not sure how I feel about the different weapons. On one hand it’s cool because they’re something different. But on the other it seems like the devs are doubling down on the idea of not allowing any alterations of the weapon which is a definite con. Or maybe it’s just about consistency, giving every nation 2 biker squads… who knows.
I’ll definitely add these to the lineup assuming it’s going to be a free event squad. But you are right… most folks will not. Bikers will probably never be a popular squad unless we see a huge increase of game/map size.
No one; they should’ve added the ones everyone wants to have:
Meaningless slop for the sake of vehicle “diversity”. They want you to think they actually be putting effort into the game when it’s all just lazy copypaste nonsense
Besides, they have little to no utility whatsoever
3 guys on a open-topped bike is just asking to be sniped/blown up/strafed
It looks similar to PZ IV J “battle scar” which was event tank that you had to buy it so my guess is that its gonna be like that
Meanwhile bren carrier still can’t aim correctly and boys ATR is even more useless in BR2.
Everyone seem just accepted that the light armor car with MG is just useless in this game.
Implement suppressive may be a turning point.
i had the same thought. instead of adding actually good bikes, especially ones worth using on higher BRs, DF just added useless low effort stuff.
also the bike squad principle can be used to add strange vehicles which are between a bike and an apc, of which ww2 had countless of, more underpowered stuff that no one will play except for new players is not how to make an upcoming update exciting.
