Give Rider-Class Engineers Access To All Buildables

Engineers in the Rider Class currently have the same limitations as other classes compared to the Engineer Squad and MG squad: They can only build Rally Points, Fortiifcations, and Ammo Boxes.

I think it would be interesting to give Engineers in the Rider Class access to AA Guns, AT Guns, and possibly Heavy MGs too. Since they are at such a unit disadvantage already, this would help give them some leverage, in addition to their straight-line speed.

Would you like to see Rider class Engineers build more stuff?

Engies in premium and event bike squads already have extended build options with AA, AT and medium MGs available, I assume you mean tech tree squads?
Not sure dev will reduce the value of premium content by copying features to TT trash.

If it’s TT Trash, how would it reduce the value of premiums?

Only prem and event

Desperately trying any way to give them a reason to be used… accept they are dead in the water… there is no reason a rider should be able to build AA or AT gun… yeah just drive towards their spawn and then plop some flank AT cannon.

Premiums and event get the ability to build any buildable… this would mean instead of relying on them to do that you can just use the motorcycle squad.

This is just artificially trying to buff them and take focus off other classes simply because they are near useless… devs shouldn’t waste resources trying to improve this garbage.

it’s okay to admit you don’t know how to use them and perhaps SHOULD learn how to improve with them :wink:

anyway as far op goes.

as a number one user of riders even well passed br II, and i absolutely love them,

it’s quite the canoundrum.
i understand improving them and making them more appealing is generally a good thing.

but the very premise of premium riders is to have said emplacements.

i must admit that, the Premium riders are technically better under most aspects.
and while i do own most of them, and wouldn’t be opposed to hand TT bikers also emplacements,

i can’t see them willingly do it.

for those very specific reasons.

with that being said, i think it would be cool like battlefield V, ( :face_vomiting: i know… one of the very few things was cool about that game ) Being able to spawn in with a AA or AT towed in the back.

perhaps you get to decide as a blue TT option, either AA or AT.

so you can get one of either with the TT as anoption, or both with premium.
but not be " unfair " to the premium version.

so imo it’s a bit more balanced.

Towing could also be useful for eventually jeeps and armored cars.
which would both be realistic, and have finally towing mechanic.

( … towing in enlisted is certainly going to be interestring… can’t wait to clip stuff up :joy: )

Hey, BFV isn’t that bad. Infact, it’s what got me into Enlisted

I would never waste my time or squad slot with a 3 man whose only appeal is being able to traverse moderately fast on a flat surface.

If they are so good why are there constant attempts at trying to improve them?

i know.
it’s even worse.

because the largest room in the world that there is, is the one for improvements.

due to how half assed literally most things are.
( Medics, Snipers, Assaulters, Paras, Saboteurs, Etc. )

with that being said, improvements for accessibility i suppose aren’t inherently a bad thing.

but using a bike with just W key to a point and expect to do all the work is hardly the bike’s fault.

Look, I’ll admit, BFV isn’t the best, BUT, I won’t tolerate too much Battlefield five hate. I still play BFV, when there’s people playing breakthrough

I will agree that to use this class to its fullest potential you need to have good game sense and a certain skill… but i just don’t believe it to be beneficial… you are fair to want what you want though.
