Making the Rider Great: giving it technicals

All those jeeps littered around on the Ardennes maps with 1919s on them? Imagine that, but as a squad.

I have actually wondered why we don’t have more motorized and mechanized squads other than the couple APCs.

I mean for example the entire point of blitzkreig was to motorize the infantry and rush through enemy lines.
Germany pretty much only used leg infantry to entrench and hold lines, almost all offense was motorized or mechanized. (Correct me if im wrong btw)

Slipping in a couple cars into each countrys tech tree would be pretty good IMO

It would also make the Rider class a lot more used I’d imagine. Everyone loves funny machine gun cars.

absolutely.

would also be great to ger armored cars as late goal / vehicles for riders:

Machine gun-equipped armored cars would be pretty good late game/premium/event squads. Maybe even give them enhanced scouting capabilities to boot and rename the class to Scout or something.

eh… i rather see those slighlty heavier vehicles that do not make sense inside tanks slots and still lighlty armored over riders.

instead of… another class of drivers…

it’s probably because the maps are too small and the game-modes encourage a sort of “20-30 minutes max”-playstyle…

also you’re talking about having free2play players who have 1 vehicle and 3 infantry, and who want “to get into the action quickly”…

basically having vehicles and infantry that both need to maneuver would requrire a game setup that is much more like arma, or squad… where there’s both some kind of command structure, and the game isn’t doing matchmaking-only.

Rider would be the perfect class for all those light vehicles that cannot be placed with tankers such as jeeps, armored cars or improvised vehicles and would open up a huge world of additional vehicles that could also be placed as event or premium

not to mention it would revive the Rider class which is practically dead

They are cool since early 2003:

dam is this cod 2? unless it not a cod game (which i cant tell tbh)

CoD2??? pffff, way too recent.

It’s the very first, original CoD. When it wasn’t a franchise and was in fact really good.

Fun fact:
Maps were huge in multiplayer. jeeps and kubels were necessary to attack enemy points unless you wanted to waste minutes to walk

oh i havent finish cod 1 yet guess i havent reach this section yet then (unless it before the british paratrooper part?)

those were available in multiplayer. with box shaped tanks (it’s 2003…) there was some single player missions that had scripted jeep gameplay too.

Thank you! I’m sick of these ‘tanks’ being classified as tank when they’re not. Also if light tanks got some viability.

Using the event German APC I use it as an aggressive vehicle. I’m driving around like a dumbass the whole time instead of parking it like a mobile rally.

I would like more matches like this, maybe mix it with a bit of Bladestorm gameplay.

Yes please! I want a jeep with a MG for the rider class! Especially, since right now the current rider class has the motorcycle with side cab.
