Rider Squad Rebalance

Suggestions Vehicles
1

Rider squads have been practically nonviable since release and need a few adjustments to make them viable in their intended roles.

  • Max squad size 3 → 5 (to be used with more spacious vehicles)
  • Option to spawn as infantry, like paratroopers and APC crews can.
  • Wider rotation of machineguns on their vehicles.
  • Vehicles, such as jeeps or kubelwagens with MG mounts, which can handle the terrain better while keeping the soldiers vulnerable to gunfire.
  • Yes
  • No

There are a lot of nuances to this.

  1. 3-5 solders.
    I doubt that they will expand the squad, since there are no prerequisites yet.
    I would suggest doing it differently.
    Give to the Rider class The ability to move in the enemy zone, like Guerrilla
    (The exception will be premium and event sQuads, which have a personal and unique setup) (or give the opportunity to replace the engineer with a rider at your own expense)
    And the specialists we are adding will not have this opportunity.
    This will give us more space to travel and use the riders as a very mobile guerrilla unit.

It is not entirely clear why this is necessary, such units will not live long and the main advantage is lost, if the ACP can be understood, there is a full-fledged combat unit + there is a limit on equipment, then it is not clear…

Unfortunately, they do this in the form of events and premium…
I once suggested on my side of the FORUM that we completely redesign the armament aspect of ACP vehicles and motorcycles…
This is not the most popular opinion and is difficult for a developer to implement.

Well, that’s what the vehicle part of the suggestion is for. The squad should have 5 soldiers who can ride in a car (like a jeep or kubelwagen) with an MG on it.

Riders can carry SMGs, so they could function as an assault squad like an APC crew can.

The ability to spawn as infantry ensures the squad can still be used even if the player has few squad slots and the vehicle would not spawn in a good position.
