Light Vehicles step over

Post by Krieger Blitzer »

it's been discussed here several times how to make light vehicles more useful.

So this is just an idea i got inspired by Gates of Hell.

What if light vehicles would be able to step over soldiers, just like tanks do?
This would include armored cars (PUMA\Scout Cars & RECCE\Stuart etc) but excluding jeeps\bikes.

in GoH all light vehicles can be used rapidly for this purpose.. not sure if this will be appropriate for Bk Mod though, but it's just an idea.

Any reason for this except "this would be cool"?
In GoH (and MoW) this is easily countered by direct firing or AT rifles.
In BK this will end up in situations where 1 AC just starts running over not only infantry but support weapons too, also i think this will cause them break most cover.
Also there is no counterbalance i can imagine for this.
Totaly against this, light vehicles are already very effective against infantry, this will just make killing infatry with light vehicles easier than it already is.

I think it would move light vehicles/light tanks to the OP side. If you have such a vehicle that is intended as anti-infantry, it already can deal with infantry with its own guns. If it is a vehicle with anti-tank cannon, it will only get pretty strong anti-infantry capability.

I would rather try to make light vehicles more useful through some other means. Some thematically fitting/role supporting/utility abilities would probably work best.

No to mention the potential crashes when soldiers throw grenades and stuff and get rolled over
