The two doors don’t even line up.

I’m sure some folks preordered (and may still follow through) on the purported strengths of the drivetrain itself, rather than anything else about the vehicle. They didn’t necessarily care about the design, but it did have a compelling and ambitious hardware checklist.

Eh, that’s not really a thing in practice.

I’ll continue mumbling into the Kotaku void and suggest that if anyone wants to see some entertaining BattleBit gameplay, the Youtuber Operator Drewski has covered the game a few times over the last four months or so. He plays in more of a milsim/tactical style, but it’s amazing how well the game accommodates that…
