Why Tankettes?
I believe that introducing tankettes into Enlisted could significantly enhance gameplay and provide a more dynamic battlefield experience. Tankettes, as light armored vehicles armed with machine guns, would excel at providing infantry support with agility and speed,
Here’s why-
1.* Enhanced Mobility:
- Tankettes are built for rapid movement across diverse terrains, allowing players to quickly reposition, flank enemy positions, and execute swift hit-and-run tactics. Their ability to navigate tight spaces and perform quick evasive maneuvers makes them excellent
- Light and Maneuverable:
- With their small size and light armor, tankettes are highly maneuverable, capable of outmaneuvering larger, slower tanks and then ramming enemy vehicles and setting TNT charges ( * * inspired by my own experience with the Universal Carrier in the game.)
- Infantry Support:
- Equipped with machine guns, tankettes can lay down suppressive fire, (better alternative then that rider class bike)
and obviously they should have limited spawns like tanks (To ensure that tankettes do not overwhelm the battlefield
