it would both allow players to reuse their own apc that was deployed, but died a couple of times, and no longer are able to move it with other squads without the needing of respawning a new one too.
( or… remove the apc driver restrictions like riders )
and as secondary, would allow players to grind the base squad without having to use the vehicle
( be it because it’s slow, or in closed maps like berlin opera / tritler offices )
more and more squads are becoming assaulters, that is: medics, engineers, paratroopers… why would we care at this point? just let everyone run with assault weapons and turn this game into one big pile of trash.
I had to read your suggestion a couple of times to try and understand what you actually meant.
So in the first instance, I think they should allow an Assault squad in the APC owners line up to take over the APC, that’s IF the APC is fine/repairable and its just the crew that died.
Given that the driver is a “subclass” of the Assaulter, stick the driver option into the Assault Squad upgrade tree and I can chose the driver as a soldier slot (same as Eng or RO etc…) and effectively promote any of my 21 currently owned Assault Squads to Armoured Infantry Status. So if your original squad dies then your alt squad can pick it up.
WRT the second part of the suggestion, I’m not sure what the point of it would be… its just another assault squad. IF you don’t want to use the APC then park it near the objective so others can use it as a spawn point and fight on foot.
i’m afraid you’re the only one. that had to do that.
personally, i don’t mind the limitation that you need an apc driver to drive apcs.
i just find annoying that when i have the apc squad ready, and one apc already being deployed, i have to spawn another when i could just use the one i already had on the map.
that would make them even more meta
and too convinient.
so no.
no.
because if i already have one halftrack placed, i can’t simply spawn with the halftrack squad on foot on my already parked halftrack.
i’d have to drive again, park it, dismount, and might give away my position.
matter of fact, the strat that i have used in berlin would be, go around the gray area with the fast truck, and my idea was to then use the premium halftrack squad on foot.
but once you spawn with the premium, the older halftrack will be destroyed and you will be forced to drive a new one.
hence, i don’t see why i can’t just use the halftrack squad on foot if needed to.
