Not all 4 of them. The same armor that protects the crue inside protects tank riders from the tank blowing up.

But they should not be immune to smallarms fire while on the tank.

[BDNeon]

They aren't though, I've seen small arms fire hurt riders.

[hgghg4]

I've seen a direct hit mortar kill 3 of them once (Recaptured Heavy Mortar)

[Zerstörer]

the funniest one is when you ram the T34 with another vehicle and it kills the passengers...the obvious risks of...not having armoured plates around you unlike being carried in an APC...

At least its not like the OP Roo where you can't flame the passengers, nade them or snipe them...

As I remember you cant flame, nade, snipe wehrmacht and US halftrack mg gunners too.
Roos cant reinforce and take away Cromwells so they are not that OP.

[Zerstörer]

Have you ever tried mounting a squad in a PE halftrack and then come near a flamer?...or see what a sniper does to them? Roo is the most OP unit in COH at this time...

In fact, mount a squad on any halftrak and sit next to a flamer...see what happens...if you've not tried it...humour me and chek it out...

Youre right, Roos are like cromwells with no guns but:
UKs Toomies are slow and expensive,
PIATs are inaccurate,
oficers are easy to kill,
Bren Carriers are useless in late game.

So in my opinion Roos should cost 20 more fuel but same MP as they do becouse if you have roos and Staghounds you dont need commandos that much, so different doctrines can be used.

1: Keep a lieutenant near them,
2: Not really, they are extremely accurate
3: Go ahead and with out snipers target and kill the 3 Lts and 1 Cpt before you get killed...
4: No they ain't Use them like beefed up kettens with a Bren Squad in the Bren Carrier

[BDNeon]

I know how you guys feel about changing the existing armies in COH, but if you did do something about the Roo.... I think that this mods popularity would improve with the stubborn vanilla crowd.

[SoccerSpartan]

I hate the roo... use the cromwelss instead because i can never find a real use for them and without cromwels you only have that light tank and the firefly (wich has terrible armour)

1: Lieutenant is easy to kill unless you have a Roo.

2: PIATs extremely accurate at moving vechicles?
PIATSs suck when being alone (without a BREN Tommy or a blocking unit - lets say a cheap Roo ).

3: 3 Lts + 1 Cpt = 1050MP/80fuel. Ill just build 3 extra MP44 squads to support my blob. Ill have a MG42 gren squad (med bunker) for every bren/rifle granade tommy(CCS) youll have and a shreck squad for every PIAT team.
Or Ill just bundle granade all of them.

4: Id rather use a ROO and not get killed by a double shreck Stormtroopen or a PE shreck blob!

...Roos need to be more expensive (how could Relic made them cheaper than a Bren carrier?) but they olso need to be in the game to balance the power of late wehrmacht and the allmighty stormtroopen a.k.a. commonwealth killer.

Have your tried targeting that singe unit with in a blob?

2: PIATs extremely accurate at moving vechicles?

PIATs are overly accurate regardless of if they are in a roos or not... IDK why but they only get a minor accuracy penalty, its stupid

3: 3 Lts + 1 Cpt = 1050MP/80fuel. Ill just build 3 extra MP44 squads to support my blob. Ill have a MG42 gren squad (med bunker) for every bren/rifle granade tommy(CCS) youll have and a shreck squad for every PIAT team.

3 LTs and 1 Cpt give the equivalent of vet 3 and they get more powerful as the Lts and Cpt level up

Like I said a beefed up Ketten, a loaded Bren can capture points...a Bren Carrier with a Bren Squad in it can do quite a bit of damage to infantry that try and stop it

I completely agree, but Tank Riders are vunerable to small arms fire already (Flame,Sniper Fire etc...). Fact is, if a tank does explode any infantry around it would die (because of Shrapnal) but it depends on the type of ammunition used to take out the tank. HE or a direct hit to the Tank shells would kill the surrounding infantry because the tank would actually explode (like a bomb),  but if an AT round hit it (no hit to the Tank shells or fuel) only the personel around the impact point would die. So, really, if you REALLY want to get technical with it, the Tank Riders only survive the blast if the Axis player was using Armor Piercing Rounds (which I doubt Germany has those in game), so in other words, the Tank Riders should die

[SauerKRAUT]

All the people in halftracks do not die when the vehicles die but get hurt bad and HTs are harder to jump out of than sitting on top of a tank. For some reason though people die whenever they are inside a bunker that gets destroyed (Wehr) or buildings but not anything else.
