Rider Class Change(s)?

So the Rider class can’t be used anywhere besides it’s one squad. And the squad can upgrade to include different class troops, making the rider class kind of weird because you don’t need it anymore. Why don’t we just add these features to the Rider class itself? We can choose an upgrade to equip things it normally couldn’t, that way we don’t replace the rider.
There’s probably other solutions that are better, or this is just one very specific idea for one specific issue. Thoughts? Everyone seems to have an opinion on this class I’ve never even seen in battle, I’ve seen APCs though, which are just half tracks. And 'Murica has a half track that’s a ‘tank’.
Here’s a better question/suggestion. Why is it so weird? Why don’t we make these make more sense? Both from a logistical and a historical accuracy standpoint these things should be labeled correctly. Can someone explain in the warzone that will become the comments.

Why there’s so many posts about riders now? Seems kinda sus ngl.

honestly riders and APCs are very similar … so its gained interest in using them i think.

My personal idea would be to see them expanded to jeeps and trucks with an MG that have a mobile resupply that if next to a tank could resupply the tank, but infantry could also go next to it and get resupplied ammo

I just love using motorcycles now as Germans in USSR and as Americans in Normandy/Ardennes because that was never possible before and I never cared enough to unlock them in Tunisia.

But yes 2 soldiers taking up a whole slot and without any special upsides other that mega fast capture start is too little.

we are trying counter stain

Trend of the week.

And totally not because I’m an earworm.

I’ve seen 3 motorbikes in my playtime and they’ve only ever been used for transport. Players got off of them a safe distance away from the battle.

Now, I don’t have the class available myself, but I’d wager you just can’t move the MG around freely enough to actually use it to fight.

And if you need to adjust your entire motorbike’s position using terrain bumps, you’ll get shot before you even had your crosshair on the enemy who did that.

If anyone can confirm this, then the solution for this class would probably just be to let them aim via mouse movement at further angles.

Lol APC in this game are not just half tracks, there are truck that have no track and the upcoming universal carrier which is fully tracked.

you blind lol

lol you are triggered is it? Because you can’t see APC that is not a half track?

first off, the tech tree German APC is literally a half track, second off, I’m only pointing out that it’'s weird they’ve done it this way

Yeah, and can’t see the tech tree APC of other 3 nation is truck.

Not really weird, you think it is weird only because you think APC = halftrack.

I think it’s weird because APC =/= halftrack. That’s what’s kind of weird, there is two separate classes for one to drive motorcycles, and the other to drive trucks, half-tracks, and actual APCs. And on top of that, I am still confused why another half-track is a tank. It’s just weird overall.

I agree, current yankie farm truck that’s in tech tree really isn’t “armored” lmao.

And if you don’t know, APC stands for Armored personnel carrier.

True, but its more convenient to call it APC than transport vehicle.
Its kinda like calling Puma or AB41 a tank, but its reasonable since they are categorised as tanks in the game.
