Light vehicles squads possible mechanics

Has the comunity beguin to get light vehicles squads since the frist motorcycle, we beguin enter in a new standard. still a bit contraditory has well because if we have tanks and we realy got some tanks around, those vehicles will be not for combat what give us some tough decisions.

the friest point, since they are for logistics is, can we make they spawn entire squads? and how this works.

i will try to make some points in mechanized infantry around. keep in mind there where more amored half trunks, open roof ones better to quick get in or out. and even AA and AT gun ones. so there will me maybe a good selection of light vehicles has well.

even small cars where atached anti tank guns, such has the legedanry wilies and the good old bazooka.

let,s go to the basic orders

----------------------------------------------------------//----------------------------------------------------------------------

when you get orders for you driver and you infantry separated then we got some mechanized tactics. it,s important to give orders to the driver even if you are in control of the inf squad. so for a good work we need the bots drive and shoot, no matter how bad they will do it.

Drive to this position. It will be interesting to send your vehicle using the map cordinates, so you can press a move order in the map,

Get in and get out: the most basic order, send you troops inside and outside. considery making those vehicles relative fast otherwise will have no sense mechanized infantry.

Cover this area: many players will make the halftrunk stay in some position to cover the road. it,s a important atack order has well.

--------------------------------------------------------------//-------------------------------------------------------------------

the question is, we will be able to spawn in a half trunk? it,s quite OP. but if we where not able to do so, the 3 basic orders up will do some decent mechanized infantry tactics.

I trully want halftracks as mobile spawn points just like in hng.

it would be cool but with this current meta they will be extremely unpraticable.

Right? Most troopers carrying detpacks = extremely short lived MSPs.

I could see it being good if the maps were larger, like in HnG, but unless we get those seriously big games, they’d just get blown up. Rally points are simple to build, small, and can be more easily hidden than a truck.

About commanding your APC, I think it would be nice to have option like this:
When you drive your APC you can give an order to your infantry to bail out. 3 soldiers will stay in the vehicle to drive it and operate the MG, while the others will go on foot and follow the APC. You will be commanding the vehicle and AI infantryman wil follow you. You will be able to change the “formation” so that either infantry or the vehicle goes first and covers the other one.
For example in urban combat you want your infantry to go before the vehicle and scout for AT weapons.

Now, why would you use it: more firepower as you have not only a MG but also 4 infantryman blazing guns, unless we will have option to frire guns from the vehicle whitch should be the case imo, at least for some guns. Other benefit is that if you get hit for example by an AT gun, you will lose only a half(truck) of your squad instead of all of your soldiers. Also it would look cool as hell imo, and thats the most important thing :upside_down_face:
Of course it needs more developed AI to work properly.

Imo it would work great with this: RTS-ish way of commanding your squad
Simplified isometric view would make it easy to command your APC and soldiers.

To be honest, it,s interesting we TRY make then mobily spawn points, because otherwise we never see if this is true OP, and a realistic mechanised infantry will be a pain in the ass for DEV,s do working properly.

maybe a event? because i know they alerdy got half trunks models, so just place a squad and make a event where everone can deploy this beta squad.

My team cleared a factory’s worth of A13s in Tunisia last night. Halftracks would definitely fare a lot worse.

I do want an excuse for the bren carrier to be added.

Wiles din,t get AA gun, but a bazzoka is something i sure existed in WWII, AA have to be in ‘‘armored trains’’ half trunks, still AT jeeps is has rare that a MP44 in a hands of a SS soldier.
