I think the Motorcycle Squads should require infantry xp for level ups instead of vehicle ones.
Generally I wouldn’t say a motorcycle squad outperforms infantry squads, as while you get a good mg, you are also extremely vulnerable and usually get shot out of the motorcycle quite fast. You also spawn much further away from the battlefield than infantry and many maps are designed in a way to make vehicle traversal very limited and difficult. However for some reason you need way higher amounts of xp to get one level in the motorcycle squad.
So with all of this in mind I found it very slow to level up the motorcycle squad compared to any other squad.
The motorcycle is the worst cannon fodder I have ever seen.
The terrain severely limits them
The US military’s tracked transport vehicle can perfectly replace him
It’s more due to the fact that after the merge, pre-merge exp requirements stayed the same.
The bike squad you unlock in Tunisia was unlocked around level 14-15ish, and consequently, was harder to level up by default than the squads you get at levels 1-10.
Doesn’t help that it has 2 squad members only, so acquiring exp is inherently slower than even sniper squads.
Didn’t have a problem with sniper squads tbh. Just gotta play it a bit more agressive with them and get into position to get the enemies getting to the point and not what I often see and have people camp far back sniping at enemies that come from the point after the enemies already have it under control.
Bike squads are just far worse to level, due to even lower squad number and worse mobility (taking into account spawn positions and most maps not being easily driveable).
The pre-merge xp makes sense as an explanation. Haven’t thought of this.
