When mechanized infantry and paratroopers got added one day

This is not a shitpost is a statement/suggestion

if in future mechanized infantry with halftracks become like bike (so separeted by tank) whe get a serius problem in the first battle we play

(This)

Take this as example and immagine 10 player spawning This at the same time

[It happen what is in the image up]

Q:Now how prevent this in a remote future? We can do it with this

  • add a special slot in squad management for special squad, mechanized infantry and paratrooper and let 1 player use them at time

This mean each team of player can have 1 paratroopers squad and 1 halftracks who act as mobile rallypoint and ammobox (i think is the best way for promote his using)

Q:But if this solve halftracks problem how this is correleted with paratroopers?

Is correleted because immagine 10 player do this

Not something good to see an entire defending team who is dropping and in meantine the enemy cap all point

Q:So we avoid this with the special squad slot?
Yes because in my opinion paratrooper other than drop need some special abilities like

  • drop everywhere in the map
  • can survive in enemy greyzone
  • can build special rallypoint in all map who can be used only by other paratroopers

And they become in my vision an alternative to halftracks where the first are used for frontline defense and push, the second are more suited for sneack attack on the flank

Anyway those my consideration about them free post other, other than additonal suggestion or complain on the matter

but that’s just common sense

( and what many people included yours truly, already suggested :slight_smile: )

( hint hint - Suggestion for a Rider's Class Rework - Concept idea . doesn’t need a new class either :slight_smile: )

dunno for paratroopers though.

sounds good, but… will it work?

I think yes if is limited to 1 paratroopers squad and 1 halftracks per team, more of them end to broke current Enlisted map, the problem here is more how the map are made for cqc with a low count of player than anything else

more that can’t be done or will it work?, is more that can’t be used freely for make it work

But how about the half tracks and other miscellaneous vehicles that aren’t necessarily squad spawns. Do they just count as a regular vehicle

Good question, is Yes for me at least for heavy caliber

  • military Bike and military car are more low-level motorized infantry for low level player, not good or bad easy to kill and cant kill enemy tank or plane so they can be used in the rider squad withaut be regulated
    (a map rework can open door for them)
  • all halftracks or truck/car with cannon or Howitzer they fit more in tank slot because they can fight other tank head one, or kill plane, something who make them too good for not be regulated (in the current map/gameplay)

Let me spam mortars while driving all around the map

M3 with 75mm would be way more useful than m10 and m18 that gets destroyed in single hit (or maybe not because it’s not war thunder and we don’t have overpenning)

i would like to have m16 in normandy, give me quad machineguns to destroy all german planes

it will come :stuck_out_tongue:

it was initially released with the pacific and was meant to be released as premium there:

too bad it’s the hatch is open instead of closed :confused:

but, we can still wish for the T48 / Su-57( even though has a smaller gun )

That’s kind of a feature of ww2 apcs isn’t it.

what i meant is,

the frontal plate being up.

instead of closed.

the " hatch "

It woudn’t have any depresion othervise, i own Su-57 in WT, even through it is fun to play, that depresion is really bad thanks to closed hatch on front.

But they could remodel those side ones at least to be closed.

And when we talk about open top vehicles, i would love to se SdKfz 234/4 and SdKfz 222 in game.

I love that this game will continue to expand with so many different kinds of vehicles. Especially the huge variety of half tracks with mortars, flamethrowers, assault guns, etc

But there are paratrooper units in the game. You’ve played too much red alert and H&G. Paratroopers are dropped behind enemy lines where they try to reorganize, assemble at rendezvous points and go to starting positions like in the TV series band of brothers.

This would only make sense if one side can only spawn as paratroopers at the start of the round. And one flight of 10 planes, one team jumps from each and then it makes sense, not like in H&G, that this plane was circling like a dive bomber and dropping one parachute at a time.

A landing is supposed to be a landing.

As for the mechanized and motorized infantry, I’m more for yes.

Why people like you like to group all half track as same thing?
Infantry half track and weapon half track are different thing.
We should group them base on their use, not how they move.
A armored car is using a tank slot in game. By your logic a car should also use tank slot because it has 4 wheels.

I think that mechanized infantry and motorized infantry should occupy the same slot as the motor and operate in exactly the same way as vehicles on the map. I get to a certain point and it pops up one or all.

The plus is that you can quickly move to another position.
The downside is that the HE shell, HEAT round or mine will give you the opportunity to deploy the next squad.

You reply to the wrong guy? I am not the one who talk about motorized infantry.

I just added to the topic the thought that regardless of whether it will be, for example, German infantry in kubelwagen or in sdkfz251. The problem is that when you put a 7.5cm cannon on a vehicle like the 251, it turns into a self-picking gun. and since it’s a self-propelled gun, why do you need a landing inside. Alternatively, you can use public transport.

Interesting suggestion, thanks с:

in enlisted, you don’t really need depression.

like, perhaps normandy maps, and somewhat tunisia ones.

but the majority are plain field.

and, it wouldn’t be too hard to find a rock, traverse in it, and use it as compensator :slight_smile:

after all, i believe survivability is somewhat more important than gun depression.

( and tbh, they look kinda ugly with the hatch down )

It is very simple, limit the number of spawns of halftracks the same way it is limited for the tanks already, no maximum than 2 at once for every side.
