Really weird premium release.

So technically inferior to a TT biker squad?
Looks really cool. Will likely be completely useless.

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?

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

The Kettenkrad would likely be an APC
… 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…

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?.

I wonder what the current stance of the devs on body armor in general is, you know anything? Because this new squad with its body armor is a good example why the body armor mechanic in general needs an overhaul.
10% damage reduction doesn’t really matter against US weapons, because they all deal very high damage per shot.
Alot of people actually want more armor across all nations, so its a relevant topic I guess, even if I personally don’t like the idea of all nation armor myself.

On this point, we still are missing the Assault engineer squads for US and Japan. They were promised like a year ago…
(Well Japan still doesn’t have an assault rifle yet…)

Was there no internal meeting when adding premium units? Did you spend the time and effort to add one of the most useless units in the game, the motorcycle, for a fee?
It is ridiculous that the US has two of the strongest Chinese units available for BR2 while Japan has useless motorcycle units!

it still interesting have Rider class, i just think it,s about time we move to Jeeps, for more soldiers to carry and better armor and mounted weapons.
also. i would make two changes in motorcycle, put then in BRI, and allow they to be deploy whitout the byke, whit in some cases may be usefull.
jeeps should be also being abble to deploy in foot, since in some circustances i mighty be usefull.

Hello good eve, it seems some of the bugs are fixed and some bugs have returned like that NPC that could snipe me from a while away, but regarding the rider class this could be potentially be very good for that type of squad as it doesnt get any recognition as it always gets overshadowed by APC`s or just plain rally point. But however I do have a bit of concern regarding the Machinegun at the Universal Carrier, it seems that using it is very awkward and very janky. I would appreciate it if it could be fixed and put a little grease on it
