The bikes are great, I use them constantly in Tunis.
I was thinking, even possibly having some bikes in some maps. Like how there are planes on airfield, maybe some maps can have bikes dotted around, or tanks that you can get into. Again, as long as it is historically accurate. Maps with unique vehicles and unique objectives are cool.
That would be much better than a squad itself. I just can’t imagine driving motorcycles on Berlin maps where even tanks struggle and on most maps there you won’t be able to shoot on any longer ranges using motorcycle.
still one last thing, those new assets could get in our hands in campaigs slots that only got a new weapow.
for exemple, a no premiun scout squad could be in level 23 of battle of moscow. toguether whit the Pzb 39.
To make them even more popular free players should be able to have a squad slot exclusive to the motorcycle or half-track squad cuz if not they’re gonna be useless since f2p players are always the majority and the biker squad CAN’T be a level 25 + unlock, they need to be somewhere around 10 to 20 cuz if not we’re never gonna see them
I’d say they are totally useless in Berlin and Stalingrad but for Normandy and Moscow they might be pretty useful
But hey you can try them to see how they would perform in other campaigns while on custom battles that is if you have them unlocked in Tunisia
Mortices were an early war thing, and really only the Germans used them as a conveyance for Combat troops, that is infantry was “mounted” on them, both on single machines, and on combinations, but they would almost always dismount and fight, think of them as steel horses.
All Army’s used them though for liaison and communications work Throughout the war.
Mid war the Germans moved away from having combat units mounted on them, a 'Combination" was more expensive to manufacture than a KubelWagen.
The Allied combinations are pure fiction in game for Tunisa as a means of a combat vehicle.
Personally I really like the German one, but as noted above you need to get into a spot where you can stand off and engage with the MG, otherwise there death traps, and they are hard to drive.
I Like the pair of Soldiers, wish three could ride on the Normal German combination, I tricked them out with MP 40’s and use them to Assault with.
What? Why wouldn’t they work in Moscow? I would love to see more content, especially content made in the future, integrated to work in this older campaign. It would keep campaigns alive. They’re finally doing shovels now, so it’s a step in the right direction.
Some of the Moscow maps are pretty small, especially with the progression gamemodes limiting the playable area. While it would be cool to see them integrated, their usefulness would be pretty limited.
well, i did tried to suggest to buff them:
but it’s up to devs and not me.
i think motorcycles squads can be useful.
but in the current state, not so much beside tunisia.
so yeah, just like @118302684 said, in other campaigns could work, but requires to the very least the ability to change the vehicle based on players preferences.
You die easy because for some reason AI have better aim when targeting people in vehicles, they wont miss especially if driving fast
I don’t think that’s true. I main Moscow for the Soviets and i’ve pretty much played every map for the campaign released so far. If you’re able to get the T-28 around with no issue, I highly doubt a motorcycle, which has the ability, or should have the ability, to more easily avoid obstacles, would have any issues with it
Drop?
The cps are like 100m away from my spawn most of the time. You need drops for 100m?
How should vehicles be usefull in D-Day or Ver-Sur beach?
Half-Tracks Concept in Enlisted - #17 by 27345834 Just leave this out. Its mostly about APCs but basically its about the concept of vehicle squads.
hell yeah, don,t drive it closer because you won,t hit whith you sword (warhammer 40k reference).
always use your fast vehicle to move quick to the frontline, remenber to always deploy you inf before engage, AND if possible before be see.
if you move you bike in front of you enemy then get out autmost in meele, you are fucked.
that,s all you need to know.
Didnt read my linked post I guess.
yeah i read, if you don,t what mechanized infantry it,s fine pal. we also need tanks and aircraft in the team.
so don,t worry be happy.
cheers.
Wow…
A: “Hey, the hills,czech hedgehogs, forrest and trenches in Fort. District are already crippling tanks. How should a APC get accross there and even without getting shot? Why do we need cars for 100m anyway?”
B: “Dont worry”
A: “What the fu…”
B: “Dont worry. We have planes and tanks”
A: “A plane isnt crippled by trenches and tanks are still getting al-butt…”
B:“I said DONT WORRY”
they arent as common in the batlefield because they take a slot and since mostly playerbase is f2p, having a biker squad over any other type of squad isnt the right pick.
i always have my premium moto squad as first pick in tunisia for that sweet spawn point .
they arent useless, and i drove them in every campaign map under custom matches.
they are fine in most maps /scenarios, if the user behind the screen have atleast 1 active braincell.
OP: yes, i would like to see them and mobile APC’s as mobile spawn points or what ever. war wasnt only guys shooting rifles or smg’s… maybe one day.
