German Motorcycle R75 without sidecar

[duck]

I have compared speed with the American Motorcycle and with the German motorcycle, I found that the American Motorcycle was faster and the German R75 Motorcycle was slower which makes sense since it has a sidecar. But honestly I dont really use the Mounted MG34 and would prefer the R75 German motorcycle without the sidecar, and I did a bit of research as well. Some R75 Motorcycles didnt even have a sidecar just the motorcycle itself, I would like the devs to make the Sidecar with the Mounted MG34 as an attachment and that it is your choice if you want the sidecar or not, and without the sidecar it would increase the speed of the R75 Motorcycle.

sidecar has mg on it where american one has nothing so why is it not better why would u wan't a downgrade also the style is classic

[Chuck_B_Frost]

It would be interesting/nice if they made the sidecar a ribbon unlocked option for each motorcycle(Country), granted only the German one would be armed. but this would give a player more options and it would make the motorcycle a better troop transport. Hell I heard a story from my old wargaming group about how the russians would cram 6 guys on a motorcycle and sidecar. Hell IIRC they used to stuff 10-12 in a universal carrier.

The Harley is extremely fast, whereas the 75 can be outrun by a kubel.

Agreed, they should add another version of the vehicle without a sidecar. It'll be more useful for the German Recon.

you should learn to use your sidecar more, i once got 15 kills str8 using the sidecar mowing everyone down from getting C1 at town map, as you can see there was a good amount of open space, they were sitting ducks.

We just wanted a motorcycle without a sidecar. Not about learning how to master the ways of being a sidecar master.

Kettenkrad is technically a motorcycle without a side car.

The Kettenkrad is only useful for winter and rough terrains. There's a German motorcycle without a sidecar. Its the Zündapp KS750[www.militarymodelling.com]. If the americans and russians have a single seater motorcycle then why not the germans too? It was even deployed[img-aws.ehowcdn.com] during the war.

I don't see any reasons why it shouldn't be added in-game unless you are an American/Russian biased player. There'll be more stuff to grind which makes a reasonable choice to play the game.

Come think of it, The Russian Jeep got no mounted MG that is equivalent to the enemy's counterpart. While they have the T-20 that both Americans and Germans got no equivalent vehicle for it.

As far as I know the "Zündapp" came with or without a sidecar, as needs required (I love that machine, saw one once and it - is - HUGE compared to modern bikes!).
I too like the idea of getting a motorbike and by leveling it up to finally getting an additional sidecar.
Btw - the sowjets too used such sidecars, though I cant remember the name atm, so it wouldn´t be out of place to give them their equal.

[PhoenixWing101]

Agreed, but the Ivans and Jimmies would complain if their only motorbike advantage (having a small, fast bike) was removed by the additon of a sidecar-less R75. They would want sidecar-motorcycles of their own, preferably armed.

[Mr.Goodbytes (topgearuk98)]

OR, they could add an option to remove the sidecar, and an option to add it back.
