They receive a Standard Bearer, carrying the Red Flag, giving the ability to sprint

 Well Kangaroos, Bren, PE IHT and T34's are similar yet
 different. Bren/IHT (Especially PE IHT) they tend to receive
 decent damage. Kangaroo is a tank COVERING them, thus
 VERY nice protection. Being atop a tank is something different
 altogether. At least we know it is possible to have different
 'layers' of protection in-game :)

 I fully agree, Tank riders should blowup like kittens in microwaves, no protection (less than bren/IHT). Used for
 transport only, not fighting. ALTHOUGH it should be possible
 for them to fight from the tank's back, it should be quite
 suicidal to do so.
 So far, that's pretty much it :)

 ... Can Tankriders go atop IS2 as well as T34s?
 I think they ought to ride anything of T34 (SU, T34) vintage
 and up. IS2, ISU... xcept for the KV2 ;)

 I *DO* have one question, though...
 
 PPSH *AND* DP28 ? WTF? Please explain?
You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity

 Well, look up 'Saving PRivate Ryan' when they start firing
 that push-FLAK-Quad thing (20mm?) at american riflemen
 atop a german tank (forgot the type) they pretty much
 exploded like kittens in the microwave. Look at the scene
 again. Atop a tank is NOT where I want to be when the
 shooting starts.

A quad flak gun will make you explode like a kitten whether you are sat on a tank or not.

No I dont think so since the T-34 riders are a call in unit and only those t-34's can be rode on, I believe

Tank riders are a Doctrin-specific unlock (-> Breakthrough Strategy).
I'm personally fine with inf can only ride on T34s, however, I think Strelkies should also be able to do so. Guards are only 4-men-squads and they look a bit odd and "lonely" on those tanks.  :)

 How Saving Private Ryan Should Have Ended

 Actually. Oh, and you guys will also see ME in this.
 Guess which character :) Cmon, tell me, tell me :)

 - No. Tankriders is not a call-in. PAIRS of T34s should be
 a call-in :) Tankriders is a doctrine upgrade of guards to
 jump unto tanks. I think it should be both ;) Both unlock
 and a call-in ;) But that'S just me ;)

  I'm fine with Strelky and JS2 being included in the mix.
 Completely :)

 - Friendlyfire : A Flak37?? Really??? I'm 500% sure it was
 a quad AA thing... for guns... Look at my movie. You'll see!

 - Wartyx : Well it's like being Jesus nailed to a cross...
 It's like there are big fat crosshairs painted on infantry :p

 And, see, a dev agrees with me that FLakAA guns make
 people explode like kittens :p I'm not insane!! :p

 ... Now all we need to do is make models of uniformed kittens to place instead of soldiers in-game complete with soft mews
and... wait... where's my medication again?

Ugh this has just reminded me how much of an absolute tard Upham is.

I know hes supposed to be the "emotional one" who is all aware of the horrors of war but damn...his uselessness is just cringeworthy.

Aaanyhow, FriendlyFire is right, tis a flak 37.
I think theres one in Band of Brothers too, where Donnie Whalberg gets shrapnel in his crotch  :-\
