DUST Search - Deploy Vehicle from respawn?

Just a thought for Ambush.

You know how when you're in Ambush and you've got the enemy team spawning in calling their tanks, you get yours in but you die despite your attempt at killing the enemy. Ofcourse you're the only guy with a vehicle or had the sense to call it in at the start, now the enemy has vehicles roaming around you cant call yours in because the moment you do your Bolas dies because Rails.

I was just thinking what if we could deploy in the vehicle rather than respawn, call vehicle, dodge the enemy tank and hope he doesn't come swooping in to kill your tank with you being able to do nothing. Couldn't be instant, perhaps it'd just be you in the tank when you spawn being flown in by the RDV.

You could argue "what's the point" but you'd be able to activate modules from here, so that guy blasting the tank with a blaster could have more of a struggle killing you because you're able to activate mods and such.

Just a thought I s'pose, not to sure on how I'd make it fair and balanced, doesn't seem right where the idea is right now.

That's one of my issues the inability to deploy my tank without some tank swinging half way across the map and killing me the second I hop in it. Tanker/Logi Tanks almost fixed.

Sorry No sympathy required really, I understand, it's like AV asking for extra things to help them when they spawn in pre 1.7 I guess. King of the Forums // Vehicle Specialist for Hire.

Swarm Launcher guys had to spawn in on clearly-telegraphed positions, with no spawn cloak, AND we had to wait 3 - 5 seconds before we could see! And even then, Small Missile Turrets had infinite range, but they didn't draw the missile unless it was fired within draw distance, so you'd just see random explosions around the spawn points and have to hope you were lucky to spawn in a gap between missiles. AV these days have it good, I tells ya! Try telling these kids that, though, and they won't believe ya! Yeah, sorry, had to be said. AV guys get a spawn cloak that lasts until WELL after they're on the battlefield and able to see what they're doing. Tankers have our vehicles show up early enough that they can be shot up and half dead - sometimes actually dead - before we even have the option to jump in. It would be nice if there was a spawn option to start off inside your tank, but you still have to drop on a standard spawn, and can't do anything except activate modules until you've been dropped by the RDV.

Also, no using Uplinks or CRUs for vehicle spawns. I like that.
