@ErikaKalkbrenner

also, why can’t we customize bikes?

In the works.

[iso_seppo123]

How about apcs? We were promised about apc customization yet we havent gotten any news regarding it

[Bkworm07]

Onb I need a good looking APC please

[OзО]

Why do you keep updating the least popular things like bikes.

[Deus_Vult88]

The biker community will obviously be thrilled.

But for the majority, this release will go unnoticed by them. :с

Once Again Japan Motorbikes for Pacific

from my two previous posts about Japan, I continue with another post for Japan, I won’t get tired of asking for it for Japan and for the Soviets too, but not being an expert on Soviets, I won’t focus on them. Today I’m here to talk about at least two possible motorcycles to add to the Pacific campaign, one being premium and the other tech tree Rykou Type 97: it was a copy of a Harley-Davidson,let’s be honest about they used the license who they adquire it and worked between 1935–1945 and here…

[ShrimpTofu]

Still no event APC for soviet and Japan

[Naohmcete]

I think we should priorice they have a TT br 3 fighter, they don’t own one, if you wish have a br 3 one you need the event flame one or pay for premium

Very nice to see body armor finally arriving for Japan - the other major faction to use body armor to a larger degree!

Body Armor for Japan

Whats criminal is that Japan, with all the Samourai roleplaying and actual field deployed body armor (including leg armor!) has non of it in game: Come on devs, give us some nice Japanese body armor, would so help faction variety/flavor! Japan really experimented with body armor as a counter to superior US industrial base/firepower; lots of different designs have been documented: [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] …

How about apcs?

In the works too.

[CaptainSebekel]

Really weird premium release.

[CaptainSebekel]

@James_Grove

The squad includes two Rider class soldiers and an engineer with a submachine gun.

So technically inferior to a TT biker squad?

[ColdHeat]

Looks really cool. Will likely be completely useless.

@CaptainSebekel

premium bikers can build AAs and ATs though.

so… technically better from a certain point of view.

been saying that for a very, very, very long time, how difficult could it possibly be?

[ShrimpTofu]

The armour should’ve been given to a necessary event squad

[GiltBurrito7238]

@ErikaKalkbrenner

even a kettenkrad despite not being weaponized:

The Kettenkrad would likely be an APC

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

… how ?

i mean, sure, pulling out an entire division out of an universal carrier or a tank destroyer is questionable.
but i’m not sure how anyone would justify the same through a bike…

[GiltBurrito7238]

The Rider class is a mobile weapon platform, the MG bikes, PTRS bike, etc. An unarmed Rider vehicle doesn’t make sense because what’s the point

But it can work as a transport vehicle. We have some armed but unarmed transport vehicles as well. It could carry 3 people, 1 driver 2 passengers

well ugh.

historically it could carry anti tank weapons and artillery pieces as it was considered a " tractor ".

so… by using putting is as event tank or premium, through the engineer, it would be able to make AAs or AT.

that’s how.

but straight up bring a battalion on the front line ?.

that’s too much. don’t you think ?

which yes.
i’d probably be the only ending up using the kettenkrad.

but what ww2 game doesn’t have said kettenkrads?.
