Good thing it’s a rider class and not a motorcycle class.

Hm. One begins to wonder why the only vehicles present in the class are motorcycles… along with it being represented in the squad icon.
However if they ever do add transport vehicles to the class then i don’t think this would be too bad.

Honestly dude, i think it would be a cool unique feature that opens up more possibilities to altering a very under utilised class. Which in turn would hopefully have the devs follow with other vehicles for other factions too.

who said riders must always be restricted to motorcycles?

Since Motorcycle troops were mechanical dragoons it makes sense to keep them as such. In my opinion the only upgrade I can see them having is getting standard cars like jeeps that give them at least a few more soldiers.
Just going by what we have now… but as i said if they ever do expand them as a lot of suggested then light vehicles like this in 2 or 3 even wouldn’t be too wild.

It’s just an armored vehicle that uses anti-tank rifles, yet some people want to vote to put it in a Tier 2 building to be shot down by tanks. Please, it just lacks the ability to carry people. What kind of vote are you casting?
This vehicle is so meaningless and so worthless nobody will be playing it in few weeks.
It would still be bad even as rider class vehicle. And to play it on BR2 or BR3? Not even engineer as crewman could save it.
You would only end up sabotaging your own team. Just as pilots who fly aircraft without CAS capabilities.
So the question is: What was the vision of the developers as they wasted their time importing it from WT?
They probably didn’t even give it a second thought.

I dont know - I see potential for riders building rallies at flanks.
Basically an alternative to Paratroopers, just without a squad that has fighting capabilities…

On Rider it would at least have some minimal increases in combat strength compared to motorcycles but as a tank slot it’s sadly wasted

That’s not the point you were making, you suggested putting a vehicle with only an AT rifle to the tank category and you used the argument that all vehicles that share the same gun should be in the same category. I asked if the bike with an AT rifle should also be a tank, because that was the point you were making.
You’re talking about only half of the nations, which means the concept cannot be applied to the game in entirety, so at all, unless you’d like to make the universal carrier also a tank?
It cannot represent dragoons, if half the nations didn’t have a dragoon doctrine.
As I’ve said multiple times, the 221 isn’t good enough to not dismount. It’s best quality is it’s speed and rifle stopping armor, making it more akin to an upgraded rider vehicle than a tank or tank destroyer
As I’ve stated, the 221 doesn’t fit any of these categories, it’s not good enough AT to be a TD nor is it a tank. It would be much more of use as a better vehicle to get around the flank to build a rally.
Riders are just gimmick for people with 12 squad slots.
For anyone else, they’re waste of space.
They didn’t want to give Germany a new vehicle, but they knew that if the event only gave rewards for 1 faction then people would complain, so they added a garbage vehicle that nobody would use
no, what we need is the other sd.kfz. I want this

Bro what are you talking about? Do you want to remove this? It’s not going to happen, so why are you voting no on a good idea?
If you have nothing to say then ignore the post
I vote no and I vote for make this thing disappear and we get the correct for that br, hate my message and if you don’t like ignore it
Very funny.
Can’t ignore your supid idea, because you’re downvoting my posts, making the idea less likely to come through.

be honest, this thing can’t turn like the other, it would work better for that br
Alright, I’m sorry for getting so firey, but the point is, the sdkfz221 isn’t going to dissapear, so you’re just making it harder to get the devs to do something unique with it.

It frustrates me that this vehicle, which has neither a machine gun nor any explosive ammunition and is practically useless in combat, ends up occupying a BR 1–2 tank spawn slot.
Since it only has a crew of three and carries no significant weaponry, why not use it as a special exception for the Rider class, which currently has almost no practical role?
I believe this would be a perfect opportunity to elevate the Rider class from a largely meaningless category that mainly exists for beginners to crash and destroy themselves, while also giving future event reward vehicles—light vehicles that are far too weak to be treated as tanks—a meaningful place in the game. It would solve two problems at once.
Furthermore, this would not only benefit Germany. Other nations would also gain additional opportunities to introduce vehicles that are too weak to function effectively as tanks, allowing them to be implemented in a more appropriate role. For that reason, I think many factions would benefit significantly from such a change.
