A Basic Courtesy to give Riders

Suggestions - Archive

We all know they could use a buff and more utility, there are countless ideas to give them. I present one more.
Building upon the ability to repair friendly vehicles, let riders repair and take over abandoned vehicles. I’ve seen before a vehicle in need of repair just lying there that could be fixed and brought into battle. Additionally the ability to come back and recover an APC to drive to a new spot, even if it’s just your own, would be amazing.
Bonus points if the AI are good enough drive a vehicle if you order it to. So you could collect an extra vehicle to haul around (definitely required more riders in a jeep) but also if the AI could be ordered to repair vehicles.
Extra bonus points if the rider class can tow the build able AT guns for fast transportation.

You can equip the repair tool box on your soldiers and do it? Isn’t it already possible? Am I missing something here?

I think they tried having bot drivers before but abandoned it.

They can repair but the bonus is that if

  1. bots can be ordered to repair as well
  2. they can drive abandoned vehicles from other players
  3. if bots can drive and you form aconvoy of clown cars.
    I might’ve forgotten something but mainly points 1 and 2.

I very much like that the bots could be ordered to repair the vehicle automatically.

Maybe that when the squad is set in passive mode, the bots would do that automatically when outside the vehicle, without even ordering them to do it?

I have also thought of other things unrelated to this post, like that medics should heal allies automatically for example, it could be that it would be implemented as passive mode is a supportive mode for the bots? I kind of like this idea. I would love to have a button to assign this passive / aggressive mode for the squad. That it would be expanded to aggressive is attacker like shooting the guns basically, but passive is that the bots will act automatically supportive first and foremost.

Medic already passively heal friendlies, why not the same for tool equipped soldiers or just riders?
