Introduce Tankettes into game

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
  1. 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.)
  1. 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

Here are some examples:

Axis :

1]
Panzer I Ausf. A/B:
A light tank often used in reconnaissance roles, armed with twin 7.92 mm MG 13 machine guns.


  1. L3/33 (Carro Veloce):

A small, fast tankette armed with twin 8 mm Breda 38 machine guns, used for reconnaissance and light infantry support.

(it has many variants like anti tank flamethrower , mg , autocannon etc.)

Sd.Kfz. 221:

A light armored car for reconnaissance, featuring a 7.92 mm MG 34 machine gun.

  1. (maybe )

Panzerjäger Bren (e):

A modified tankette equipped with a 7.92 mm MG 34 or a 37 mm Pak 36 anti-tank gun, used for light support and reconnaissance

Japan :slight_smile:

  1. Type 94 Te-Ke:

A nimble tankette with a 6.5 mm Type 91 machine gun, perfect for reconnaissance and light support roles.

  1. Type 97 Te-Ke:

An improved tankette with a 37 mm Type 94 gun, offering better armor and mobility for similar roles.

Soviet :

1.* T-27:

A versatile tankette armed with a 7.62 mm DT machine gun, perfect for reconnaissance and light support.

2.* T-37A:

An amphibious tankette ideal for operations in varied terrains, equipped with a 7.62 mm DT machine gun.

3.* T-38:

An improved amphibious tankette with enhanced armor and mobility, also featuring a 7.62 mm DT machine gun.

Allies:

  1. T7 Combat Car:

A light tankette armed with a .30 cal M1919A4 machine gun, suitable for reconnaissance and support.

  1. Carden-Loyd Mk VI:

A small, agile tankette armed with a Vickers .303 machine gun, ideal for reconnaissance and infantry support.

Suggest that one apc, two tankette, and 3 bikers will be great because on some big maps, its kind of headache to reach point a to b

Tankettes and Armored cars should just be part of the rider class

We already have a rider class they should repurpose them as a new lightly armored class with tankettes, armored cars, bikes and also add event SPAA there.
It’s a silly that to spawn my flaktruck i need to take one vehicle slow, they haven’t even received recent AA and they still overheat all the time.
They also needs to add a new perk which would let you and only you to respawn on them after you die with your squad, ofc infantry squads only.
That way we could have some competition to the paratroopers. And have guaranteed a quick spawn when a rally you just built is contested by the enemy or because your entire team wants to spawn there.

idk why but no one seems intrested

Useless, would be only blocking vehicle slots.

i am saying there should be different slots for this, 2 for tanks ,2 for this, 2 for plane and 3 for apc

Progression and players’ choices show one thing: more armor & bugger gun = more good. Mobility is maybe on the 3rd place.
I expect tanketes would be used only by a bunch of crazy ppl, everybody else won’t bother.

(To be clear, I don’t oppose adding them. I just think effort to result ratio is not the best.)

Well, they still going to have weak MGs with overheat. There’s no way something like that could be useful at any way.

I’ve tried to play T-60 again few weeks back, I know what I am talking about.

You’ll be more efficient with basically anything else.

so whats the problem with this new type of thing, it will give more fun

It won’t be fun, they would be borderline useless. Vehicles do have MGs with artificially lowered dmg and overheat.

You should try play premium flame tanks, but don’t use theirs flamers at all. You’ll find out pretty quickly there’s no fun in that.

And what about mobile aa

or pacific br 5 HVAR spam because Japs dont have,Germany in high br dont have,medium and low yes,soviets high br neither,low and medium br yes, and americans can spam 3,4 planes with premiun, so … yes

useless?, it will be fun if u know how to play with them, i m not like avg tank camper… and i need more vehicles like flamepanzer, universial carrier or ha go, …

I think it would also be interesting to have some beutepanzer tanks like the Polish TKS or the Renault UE Chenillette, the latter with some modifications such as the attachment of a mg-34 or the addition of a pak-36 in addition to as you said the cv but in its variants to support the infantry as the anti-tank and flamethrower.

mobility is relatively useless in the game that has limited size of maps, maps that are full of obstacles that are impassable by vehicles, not to mention shit vehicle model that gets stuck on smallest things that should actually be passable by most vehicles.

this thing is to make enlisted step forward rather than fighting same boring thing, idk what’s the problem with u guys… play that Bren carrier u will know what mobility is… i out maneuvered many tanks ,. rammed them killed them by tnt… killed many enemies with that mounted Bren… and the problem u listed is temporary and can be fixed…
