Mechanized Infantry

Could we please get Mechanized Infantry in the game, you already added Motorcycles to Tunisia but It would be nice to have Trucks and Half-Track Troops Carrier squads to the game.

Tracks are already in game, just randomly placed on certain maps. Squad base purely on them would be pretty lackluster. It would need some kind of special game mechanics.
Halftrack are already in game as well, they’re used by tank squads (normandy/pacific)

The roadmap did mentioned “new type of ground vehicles with unique mechanics”. Maybe it is referring to mechanized/motorized infantry.

AA vehicles, some of them will be tracks in fact, some of them on tank chasis.

The aa vehicle is already in this game.

Yeah, but it really doesn’t matter. There’s so much unused models for AA vehicles in game rn, its definitely going to be it. :tipping_hand_man:

They literally said new type of ground vehicle. AA vehicle is not a new type of vehicle.
AA can just be added normally in the tech tree after the tech tree is released.

All we can do is wait. :tipping_hand_man: I can bet it will be AA vehicles. But who knows, I am not a dev and I can easily be wrong.

These Half-track are not troops carrier but gun platforms.

That’s true.

But how exactly would they be useful as troop carriers in game? They’re so easily destroyable and they are slow af. Even game mechanic as moveable rally point would be pretty much inferior to normal rally points.

I just don’t see any good point why to add such squad. Even bikes aren’t good currently.

But I am not completely against it, I just don’t see any good way how to implement them into game. Seems pretty much useless for me.

cuz it wouldn’t be a true ww2 game without them.

moreover, mechanized units can still be useful in mods.

and i guess in the basic game as well. like flanking. ( granted, not every map allows for flanking. but most of them do )

in my opinion, i’d find halftracks more useful if they could carry perhaps ammuntions and medkits.

so that people that do not have medics ( even with the merge ) or engy is dead, can replanish their needs.

why not build or place one instead? well, the idea would be that the halftrack would have more ammo and medkits than ammo/med boxes.

and can be moved as well.

but that’s just me i guess.

Without squads specialized on halftrack/tracks? Nah, I don’t agree with you. We can still have halftracks/tracks, but I don’t think we need specialized squads for them.

I think they would be still not worth the time, they’re just to easily destroyable. Ammo boxes and medboxes are way more comfortable.

Halftracks are too big for flanking. One engineer and his rally point does this job.
There’s just no room for them currently, that’s what I am saying.
They would be nice. But I don’t think they would fit into this game.

Plus majority of them were used as logistic vehicles to transport infantry to battleground, they weren’t used during battle/on battlefield. It would be completely wasting of resources to send them to frontline. In that case, they could even add cavalry class with horses (bad joke lmao)

I think it’s very disillusioned to insist on them if they wouldn’t had any good and relevant utility.

and i don’t agree because it would also give the ability for customization for players and add some $$ for devs either so.

plus, i do think we need them.

just like planes, tanks and many other things in this game.

they may not be worthed for you, but those are still viable options for those who are interested and wants to use it.

you know. choices?.

you can use the vehicle to travel an engy in a safe spot and deploy a rally point.

there’s planty of room in pretty much any map. except normandy ones.

heck, even berlin have more roads to approach the objective.

i thought the same about artillery pieces such as the vehicles introduced in the burning sky update.

yet, those are here.

sounds good enough for me if you ask me.

i mean.

are you really going to use " back in the days " argument in enlisted?

isn’t the same reason why you justifed all the other things that many members tried to use " against " you?.

sounds a bit of a double standard from you.

and for much i agree and understand it’s not realism. nevertheless as it’s " just a game " i don’t see why not.

more options, more diversion and more people happier.
( as not everyone wants to have a vehicle squad or a plane squad. a forth inf squad after all for those who do not have premium ).

you know alot about disillusions… right?

beside, not everything is to be made to please you. but to offer more choices.

anyway, mods would be more than a good start.

the rest, i don’t really mind / care.

That’s legit argument, I can’t oppose to. Enlisted is casual after game after all.

Yeah, it would be nice if this squads could use all classes (or most of them), that could be very interesting ngl.

I didn’t mean it literally lol. :joy:

Yeah, I can relate to that.

I just don’t one another pointless blank squad, that’s all. But you surely have your points. Especially variety is the most important one.

It does seem to be most likely halftracks, because AA is already in-game. The only other vehicles it could be are ambulances, and artillery (but seeing as artillery vehicles are used as tank destroyers and ambulances would be stupid probably not.)

Halftracks are already in game as well. :smirk:

We will see.

Mechanized Infantry is already in the game files.

Japan :jp: premium land ship is one, it’s more useful as 7 assaulter squad as standalone tank without mgs

what they could do, is something like you spawn in with a half track full of “Panzergrenadiers”, which you move up to the frontline.

Then once you leave your vehicle, it gets “deployed” and functions as a “harder” to destroy spawning point.

Motorcycles in tunisia work because maps are open and bigger.
Imagine driving one of them in berlin or stalingrad.
They will end up more useless than tanks
Their armor is thinner than m18 or m8 scott and we know what happens in bomb raids or little granade can do them.
In late war campaigns, so many destructive planes exist. You will end up losing all your crew or and/ vehicle even nefore reaching the frontline
Also there is another problem.
10 people is max number
1/2 of them can fill plane slots
2 of the fill tank slots
Are they going be to categorised as tank on slots ?
Like m13 in pacific ?
One team has 2 medium tankk vs other choose 2 sdkfz
So other player who didnt choose tanks will have to wait until those light armored to be destroyed, game lost
Are they going be to categorised as tank on slots ?
Let say they are seperate slots like tanks 1/2
This will significantly decrease the teams infantry power which chose to use light armoreds.
Game is not ready for them, a lot of things need to change before that
