Tank Riders

[vewt]

Horribly overpowered.

Compare to Hetzer:

600MP, 4CP, tank call in. Situational specialist tank.

750MP, 4CP, tank+elite infantry call in. General tank, incredibly powerful infantry. Infantry may fire from tank and are invulnerable.



1: Why is it so cheap?
2: Why should a 4CP ability grant two full tier units?
3: Why can the infantry sitting on the exposed hull of a tank not take damage as it is shot, nor be targetted?
4: Why when the tank is destroyed and it's rounds cook off causing a massive explosion, are the infantry barely harmed? (Their deathrate should be close to 100%).



Serious problem with this ability at the moment.

the name should be
"base rush force"
4 cp => call in => drive straight in enemy base => watch the epic rape

The infantry are not invincible. Several games i've had they have been killed by various different methods riding that tank

[Saavedra]

I suppose the tank riding works like the Panzer Elite halftracks, where small arms fire does not kill the men inside, but sniper shots, flamethrowers and the like will.


At least, I hope that´s what the devs did.

The infantry garrisoned on top of the tank are NOT invincible. I've seen Pumas, mortars, and Snipers kill the tank guards while the ywere on the tanks
