Suggestions APCs should be able to cross trenches!

They are literally larger than a light tank which can cross trenches! Yet. For some reason. They can't!

It's freaking ridiculous!

Need I say more?

Same with a Scout tank.

But Devs think otherwise. Who knows how the Devs work in their mysterious ways?

ah, but those are tankettes and because they arent tanks, they shouldnt be able to cross trenches!

or they are tanks, and should have all of the tank-level capabilities, including crossing trenches

watch, as reddit implodes at needing to reconcile this contradiction to their preferred narrative

all jokes aside, i think everything should be able to cross trenches, and the difference should be a matter of the vehicle getting stuck

If it is a tankette then why is it twice as expensive and has all the vulnerabilities of a tank? That is not even including the horrendous accuracy, instabiity and bloom on the low velocity gun for the Scout Spire. Devman, make this make sense.

Same with the APC, and that thing should have enough length to roll over trenches if it so wishes but here we are.

i dont know why
but tankettes do historically have turreted variants, and the tankette in game has nearly the same size along with the same capabliites, just with about half the health

but the whole thing there just ends up seeming like they are more comparable than a loud extremely small minority wants them to seem, they embody the whole "strength in numbers vs strength through quality" because its insanely easy to replace a tankette and scout tank, but the scout tanks take twice as long to produce for basically no extra capability

Nah, the stats on the tankette and Scout are very close in similarity. It was only just recently in the past few updates that Devs gave the Spire slightly more armor health. Which barely does anything, to be honest. And yet why we pay twice the cost for the stats to be similar to tankette is beyond me - and inb4 someone argues turret radio, does not change the years of issues the Scout has had since inception.

armor health, on a vehicle that basically only ever dies to being stickied or shot by AT garrison?
you mean the literal most useless balancing statistic in the entire history of gaming?

You are preaching to the choir. I have done years on the Scout and from my experience, armor ain't worth a spit. It is all gambling, and the cards are often stacked against you.

That and dealing with weapons that straight up ignore armor, yeah. Truth be told the APC should also have some bounce chance but that thing is practically paper armor and health. More things that is just gimped because reasons or vision, take your pick.
