Motorcycles.
- One man vehicles. Expandable to 2 man with side car module.
- Fast. Small. Agile. But with low HP.
- Signature profile much smaller than a LAV. Probably about the same as a heavy.
Possible Modules:
- Overdrive injector: Increases speed at the expense of a greatly expanded signature profile.
- Muffler and Heat-sink: Reduces signature profile.
- Sidecar: Adds one passenger slot.
- Forward mounted double barrel SMG: Fixed SMGs point forward. Aim by steering. (L1 you lean forward and look down the sights.) Some vertically adjustment possible by popping a wheely, but would require precise throttle control and timing to hit anything not on a horizontal plain. Good for catching someone running across a field, but very situational. (Probably more fun than effective.)
- Forward mounted dumb fire rockets: AV, Flux, and Anti Infantry varieties. (Of course unless you actually managed to hit someone direction, and Infantry would have to be on a slope, or by a wall for the rocket to explode near them.)
Good for getting into the hills quickly, or infiltrating behind enemy lines. On level ground with no cover the SMGs might be good against Heavies. With dumb fire rockets they would be good for AV work. Maybe allow the person in the sidecar to use their weapons. The motorcycle provides no protection for the passengers other than speed.

First, I only envisioned one module being equipped at a time.
Second, yes I would expect an AV grenade would kill it. I have never had anyone throw an AV grenade at any LAV I was driving so I donGÇÖt see that as a problem. People would probably save their AV grenades for HAVGÇÖs and just shoot the guy on the bike. |

I should have listened to my better sense and not included the guns in my suggestion, but I was having fun playing with the idea. People see guns and think that is the primary purpose. I should have left it as an unarmed vehicle.
Purpose is for snipers to get to sniping locations, and be able to relocate quickly. I wish the vehicles would not explode when left unattended. I hate having to call in another LAV every time I want to move to a new position on the battlefield.
Second Purpose is for getting behind enemy lines to hack objectives. You ever try to drive a LAV up a flight of stairs? It is not a quick process. They are too big to manoeuver in small spaces and they show up on everyoneGÇÖs radar.
Third Purpose is getting behind enemy lines so you can sneak up behind them with a shotgun.
The motorcycle is basically a scout vehicle. DonGÇÖt underestimate the value of being able to get quickly from point A to point B.
The SMG and AV stuff was just other stuff I thought of that you could do with it. I guess it just distracts too much from the purpose of this vehicle. |
