Motorized Infantry Class, APC Overhaul

Every class represent a different type of soldier with a specific job. Riflemen are infantry, Engineers are Engineers, they’re all pretty self-explanatory, we all know. As in real life every soldier has a specific role and training.

While we do have the APC squad that represent Motorized/ Mechanized Infantry, we don’t actually have a Motorized/Mechanized Infantry class. We just have the vehicle’s driver and the assortment of other classes we can add. I think we should have an actual Motorized/Mechanized Infantry Class

Motorized/ Mechanized Infantry were distinguished units with unique training. They had to train how to properly dismount from moving vehicles, firing their weapons while riding in a moving vehicle, and know basic vehicle maintenance. German Panzergrenadiers were regarded as elite units. The point is these troops were a little more than just infantry riding in a truck

Paratrooper is a distinguished class because they were. Motorcycle infantry were a distinguished unit. If Marines were added they would be a distinguished unit. Should we make Paratroopers all just riflemen? They are more than just regular Riflemen. So Motorized/ Mechanized Infantry should be the same

The “APC” Infantry would be the default class of the APC squad. The “APC Driver” class could be removed and a new class added, or to save time it could be renamed and remade into the APC Infantry class that would be the basic units of the squad filling the spots of the driver and Riflemen. Other classes can still be added to the squad like Machine Gunners, Snipers, etc. So you understand better, instead of by default having a Driver and Riflemen, you would have all APC Infantry

What would differentiate APC Infantry from other classes? Do they get dismount speed or is there any other reason one would use them other than flavour?

First it’s about historical precedent as Motorized soldiers were distinguished units separate from foot infantry. We have Motorcycle Infantry that were a distinguished unit so APC should also. Paratroopers, Marines, Guerillas are distinguished classes even though in real life they primarily used the same rifles as standard infantry, but it’s about their special role and training. They’re supposed to be their own class. So if Riflemen are standard foot infantry then Motorized should be its own unit too.

They could certainly get any little buffs the devs want to give them. My main point is just about organization.

Also they could be like Riders, Guerillas, and Paratroopers in that they can use both rifles and assault weapons

ABSOLUTELY NO, they are better ways as I suggested than this

What’s the issue?

Paratrooper gets to be a class
Guerilla (Commando) gets to be a class
Motorcycle gets to be a class
We just got a Saboteur Spy class
Marine and Glider Infantry and who knows what else certainly will get to be their own class

What’s the problem with a true Motorized Infantry class. They should’ve made it in the first place when the class was first added

More than the motorized units you mentioned, I’m interested in when the official paratrooper mode will be officially added to the weapon tech tree.
