Rider class improvements

Yeah sounds viable to me, build flanking rallies fast (maybe still not as fast as Paras, but still okay)
Go for fast flanking runs to take out tanks with AT, and even call in arty strikes.

I can actually see myself using Riders with bolt actions as half snipers while providing flanking rallies for the team, but I “kinda” feel like Paras are gonna be able to do the same… well maybe the bike will be less obvious than very easy to spot parachutes.

This is a great update, and a well needed improvement that had been requested for some time. I see this as a big step into reworking old squads for the game’s QoL. Hopefully medics could be revised for some improvements in the future. As many others have commented, I see this as a possibility into adding specific vehicles for the rider class in addition to sidecar motorcycles. Jeeps, Kubelwagens, etc. I’ve read some great suggestions on the forums regarding this that could give you some ideas

Dear Major, there are some issues that I feel impatient to see forwarded to the Dev team.

The most recent onse are this Address APC gameplay inconsistencies

And this Make legacy squads purchasable for silver/XP

Could you please take a look?

And just as a reminder about all the other suggestions:

Especially BR 1 events. That has to be a priority. It would get new players to stick to the game = bigger player base = sooner implementation of ranked matches = new players don’t get clubbed by sweatlords

PS: thanks for the sound mods legend!

Maybe they shouldve add Medic boxes and Ammo boxes to the APCs, it would make sense after all that it is a means of transportation of both the infantry and ofcourse supplies but regardless this update makes the rider class a bit useful now.

Looks nice! Also this gives me an idea…
Merge the biker and the driver class into one, and add recon jeeps so it can be used with the new class.

theres two versions of the stinger… the one your thinking of is the offcial us made stinger thats in the end of the research tree the og stinger ie the one frakeinsteined with multiple gunparts carried 200 rounds

Good to know that the bike will have this feature, also consider having medkits available as well.

At present, destroying motorcycles does not seem to earn points and does not count as destroying vehicles. We hope that the authorities can address this issue.
And since the official is aware of the upgrade issue of the team, we hope that the official can generally reduce and adjust the experience required for the team’s upgrade. Thank you very much.

Yes, I always found that odd the fact we don’t earn points for destroying enemy bikes.

The issue is that the system treats bikes like other neutral drivable vehicles on the map whenever players
spawned one in the game

This is the main reason I have never used any of my rider class vehicles. They are all still fully not updated. Why put so much time into a squad that only has two or three troops.

Not to mention a 3 men sqd will be wiped out even by the ai’s potshots from across the map

I thought it is a game, so I played with the German premium ones now and then and did not care whether they’re maxed out or not (of course they can’t be upgraded, but I 'd use them regardless). When I fly over a tank bullet just to land upside down and die in next second is fun, and that’s it. With two guys it’s really not fun enough though.
