Tankettes for MotorSquads!

image

Imagine this you have a great mg amazing stability, the problem is that you will get blown off as soon as you leave the battle.

What could fix this -
Armour not enough to make you a full blown tank but just enough to keep you from experiencing the pain of 7.65 ripping through your head.

Germany and italy can get the L33 and the Panzer 1
Japan gets TE-KE tankette
the Soviets get the T-27
and the allies can finally get the long awaited Bob Semple World Destroyer
or the T16/T14 if you wanna lame gaijen

its a perfect fix and gives more reasons to bring AT rifles at high tiers

With how bad vehicle MGs are (sadly), tankettes would be very pointless in Enlisted.

They better remove overheat or at least let us shoot like 5 mags of small cap lmgs (~200-250 rounds).

true for this to somewhat viable they would need to copy the stationary mgs stats for these like a one shot kill with little to no overheat

But seeing a tiny clown car run through the battlefield is something I need to see

As BR1 gremlins, Id love to see them, especially if they give them a bit of a terrain buff, just watch these tiny tankettes go wild.

How about treating it the same as a vehicle (truck, jeep) in Map?

Maybe a jeep with a MG on top for that, but since a tankette is resistant to small arms, that is a step up.

Though on certain maps that could work, similar to how on the airfield map, you can hop into the planes on the runway.

Would you rather be blown away by anti-tank weapons or TNT?
If you’re in Germany or the U.S. you can also get Molotov cocktails for warmth

I think a good cavalry vehicle needs at least a howitzer or smoke launcher

no.

that’s a terrible idea.

because;

A. such vehicles has to be manually placed for all missions ( aka, more than 120+ missions )

B. due to being manually placed, you wont have any backs up once those gets destroyed

C. sometimes missions have dynamic spawns. ending up with situations where the germans gets americans jeeps and/or vice versa.

D. you can’t customize them. and you have to be very lucky to find some that aren’t shot off.
having squads of 6/7/9 with some left behind

so, on top of being a nightmare to do, it’s unpractical on so many levels.


as it goes for the suggestion at hand,
i wouldn’t be opposed as tankettes.
easy to deal with, reasonable magazines sizes and what not.

perhaps as an unlock and subfolder of the rider.
( but first, jeeps should be introduced, trucks, armored cars and then tankettes. that is, imo )

depends on what weapon they carry
for example L3 had in addition to the classic 20mm
versions with Breda SAFAT 12.7 and Breda Mod.31 13mm machine guns
against vehicles BR1 is more than sufficient (especially thanks to the limitation of BR1 it would not encounter other BRs) and also what ammunition they put on it can also make a difference

12.7

There could be like a tier system like the tanker classes where you start off with the simple machine gun tanks, before moving on to the more powerful tankettes armed with auto cannons and finally the flamethrower variants making them ever more terrifying on high tiers

And as an event vehicle they could add the famous bob semple for the launch of the Manchuria Campaign

Cmon gaijen look at these ideas they are genus
