I wonder if ever infantry will be allowed to ride on tanks
There are numerous pictures from both Eastern and Western fronts of infantry clinging to tanks as they head into battle.
Is it possible they could be implemented in both versions of the games.

I know some of the modders have created BA scenarios with this feature, so it is possible (sure it could be ported to BA2). Not sure where this is on Slitherine's list. They may have decided not to do this for certain reasons also.

We considered it for sure. But in the end the cost of making it a fully functional feature (rather than just allowing tanks to be transports ) verses the gameplay utility made us decide against it.

It only works, essentially, if you are talking a Fire Team riding anyway. So if the designer is working at the low end of the scale in BA (10 minute turns, 50 m squares, 5-6 man teams) then it works. It becomes unrealistic when you scale up from there.
