It would be cool to see ski troops in Moscow capaign. For example a completely new assaulter or trooper class. This will give more faster and dynamic battle and ways to flank and surprise your enemies on larger maps.
-Their traveling speed could be like running/sprinting but with much longer stamina bar.
-To shoot weapon they need to stop so they’re not too OP/Ninja or even better - skis need to have some inertia for a limited period of time, so when going downhill they could use their weapons!
-There are some maps with no snow, so around those areas Skis couldn’t be useable. (e.g. the soil is too hard to use them)
Ski toops could carry skis as an item on their backs and use them on snowy fields.
Some new, larger and more snowy maps could be also added to suit ski warfare.
I don’t understand them, it would be great addition ,as long there is option to equip and unequip skis on different ground terrains. Only tanks would become more vulnerable because they would have a new , quite fast moving threat approaching from flanks. Solution would be to handing out skis to troops in equipment slot like parachutes to pilots so they couldn’t take too much grenades with them and couldn’t carry specialised AT weapons.
Just because it would be absolutely absurd in most maps (quarry, inside buildings in cities etc.)…
Yes!
Because that kind of absurd would be hilarious and thus, fun.
I think the game generally would benefit from more gimmicks like this, it is the ideal premium squad idea just like the original bike squads were. Another idea are ghillie suit snipers for the british.
