This post compiles some of the ideas that were not implemented for the Rider class and that could perhaps help improve its use on the battlefield:
1.I like that motorbikes can have ammunition, but let’s make things bigger. Although not all motorcycles or all factions used a first aid kit in their vehicles, to give a better quality of life, it would be good to place a saddlebag with bandages or whatever you can think of. In the German army it was standard to carry a first aid kit in their > vehicles
Recreation of how it would look
While they were not a primary option and as I explained in other post in the past and although we have the mark on the planes, I still think that if you are going to use them as improvised anti-aircraft you should have the same reticle as the engineer’s buildings.
In the third option I want to give the option that this class could behave like the AI of the APC but improved, that is, that the machine gunner can use his machine gun and if the motorcycle is stopped, the pilot can use his personal weapon in the case of the premium version, in the case of the premium motorcycle in the case of its third crew member (since I do not remember if he did it or not), work like any passenger of an APC, adding example of how it could be a motorbike driver and personal weapon
Add more motorcycle variants or if you feel brave jeeps for a hypothetical squad upgrade, as far I know for example the actual motorbike from germany have a mg 42 option who could suit for higher br
Allow them move in the grey zone like guerrillas for assaults, concept idea: guerrillas and bikers can spawn on infantry (guerrilla) different spot as usual infantry and bikers in vehicle area but close to guerrilla one,however if they go in gray zone and bring anything else than biker unit will die in grey zone
Reduce XP costs, it shouldn´t cost like it do right now
Introduce their evolution into the game, whether with jeeps,trucks or tankettes, jeep and trucks would start as br 2,but tankettes br 3, also mod the ticket cost, motorbike squad should cost less tickets, jeep more and tanquette the most loose of tickets
Armored Vehicle, Tankette
Like scenario vehicle but with a bit more chances to survive
Sorry, but I read through this the first time quickly and missed this paragraph: what exactly do you mean by this. The way that you’ve worded it, it’s very confusing. “guerrillas and bikers can spawn on infantry (guerrilla) different spot.” So you want a guerrillas & bikers to spawn ON infantry soldiers, without having to use a spawn point?
No kidding! Can he elaborate what he means by “not in grey zone, I mean a point where guerrilla appears between your team and enemy team but they can go inside” sounds like a house party I went to last weekend, not being funny, but there were those who appeared inbetween teams and may have gone inside… xxx
I’m not entirely sure about the gray zone description, but the current state of the Biker is extremely fragile, struggling even to move around.
At the very least, if it could carry medical kits alongside ammunition and have enough off-road capability to quickly transport Engineers, it might be slightly better. It’s improved from before, but it still can’t freely traverse various paths enough to be truly useful.
Driver should be able to shoot his personal weapons when bike stops as well, there is even a holster in front of the bike for him to use in one of the models. They also should bend down while driving so that it would make them harder to shoot down
Yes, I should rephrase. But you said that it would only work for premium version which leaves standard bikers just wait for their death as they always have been
