Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
The annoying thing about motorcycles
Is motorcycles are annoying things!
Their machine gun is aimed at the heavens
Their wheels are made out of springs!
They’re bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Not so fun when youre stuck on your side!
But the most annoying thing about motorcycles is
They cant be righted.
T-T-F-N Ta Ta For Now! Hoo Hoo!
Like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, Enlisted motorcycles like to bounce and bounce and bounce!
This is ridiculous.
Even the slightest change in surface or brush against something causes a motorcycle to go flying around, usually spinning 180 degrees, tipping over, or worse of all flipping completely upside down.
With the recent Forest Shadows update I have found that, in addition to the problems mentioned above motorcycles will now flip about 45 degrees in the air and drag sideways until they run into something (and remain stuck at said 45 degrees in the air), as if dragged by an invisible force.
I understand that a motorcycle and sidecar is not as stable as a jeep for example. There are going to be times when they might flip. But this is happening way too often.
Furthermore, when it does happen there is nothing the player can do to rectify the issue.
In real life one man on his own can lift a motorcycle lying on its side. I would assume that a single man could also push a motorcycle and sidecar that is on its side right again.
If it is completely upside down then 2-3 men could easily lift it the right way up again.
Note that 4 men can lift a jeep or even a small lorry like in Japan.
And all of that is irrelevant given that Enlisted doesnt give a damn about realism or plausibility anyway.
Even Roblox has an easy function of pressing a button to flip or right a vehicle that has tipped on its side or upside down. I see no reason why this cannot be added immediately.
DF also needs to clear away a lot of the junk from maps. I agree with some obstacles, mainly as cover for infantry, but the current maps are just a plain mess.
As DF adds more vehicles they need to make maps more vehicle friendly. I was using a motorcycle in Stalingrad recently and found I could not knock down all the junk in the way so I was unable to use the motorcycle effectively at all.
It must also be noted that everytime one hops on a motorcycle the machinegun is aimed up, this makes no sense. My Soviet motorcycle particularly the DP machine gun sometimes glitches and seems to become detached from its mounting.
“Learn to Drive”
The Ey-Ore’s of the world have screamed skill issue when myself or others raise these points.
I would remind those people that this is an FPS, not a driving simulator.
It is impractical and stupid having to constantly do 3 point turns and reverse parallel parks under fire because the developers refuse to fix basic problems.
The flipping around or upside down is way over the top and needs to be removed.
Even when driving slowly this nonsense happens. The whole point of Rider class is to flank and I myself have been on a perfectly flat road and the motorcycle still ends up flipping for no particularly good reason.
“Dont like em just dont use em”:
The developers have added the Rider class. It is their job to ensure that all classes are perfect. Myself and others should be able to use bikes without issues, the reason I use them is it allows me to have a mobile machine gun at BR I and II (the MG34 on a motorcycle is better for defence at times than MG13).
