Mechanised infantry?

I think mechanised infantry squads would be a great addition, especially for Normandy campaign. The M3 half-track for Allies and Sd.Kfz.251 for Axis. Already there’s half those vehicles in the game files (Allies M13 SPAAG from Pacific and Axis MLRS truck from Normandy) so wouldn’t be difficult to implement and I think it would be a fun addition to the game.

Yes, more vehicles besides mostly just tanks would be nice

I’d like to see riders (remember riders?) expanded to things like the bren carrier, but half-tracks seem excessive and prone to clutter up the map quickly

Bigger maps that are vehicle friendly would work better, to have to use transports to go from point A to B instead of running everywhere.

Could work as a big operation sort of like hell let loose. If mechanized infantry was implemented here’s how the squad layout should be.

Example (M3 Halftrack Squad; Driver, Assistant Driver, Turret MG Gunner, 1 Rifleman, 1 Engineer, & 1 AT Gunner), sort of how like the Ka-Chi is for Pacific with 7 Crewman.

Or they could come pre placed on the map like jeeps and boats

I remember reading about these… in the ancient scrolls.

Those vehicles will be easy targets for normandy. That place is literally an explosion nightmare.

There tons of different variants of half tracks and other vehicles during the war with many different capabilities used by all sides. I would love to have lots of more vehicles

Tunisia already has Motorcycle riders

That’s the thing I want to avoid though. You can spend ages looking for a vehicle and not finding one, so I think a dedicated squad equipped with the vehicle would be good. Perhaps they could just generally add more vehicle spawns

We also have the half truck 251/10 chassy in the game :slight_smile:

So it shouldn’t be hard.

And yes, perhaps as rider rework ( like I made a thread about in the past ) and newer vehicles are always welcome from me.

Wow, that looks awesome! Hope it gets added to the game. I don’t even care if it’s a premium squad, I’d get it anyway
