It also makes no sense that a machinegun has an optimal range of 20 meters.

Maybe the vehicles have ejector seats...

Who knows? Dust514 is weird that way.

1. It does not take me 3 seconds to get out of a vehicle
1a. Are you disabled or elderly or both?

2. To get in a vehicle i should not have to wait for a circle to fill up
2a. This would be more annoying because the hacking skill doesnt work on vehicles like when recalling

3. Exploiting - Thats is scouts throwing REs like grenades, or jihad jeeps, or swarms which can lock on behind cover and fire while not looking at the target and the missiles go around 3 corners because the tracking is broken and tracks to where you were and not where you are

We've all seen the guy running around the map in his LAV, drives right up to a player, jumps out and instantly starts firing an HMG at the player. Sometimes, the HMG gets in over their head, but can still instantly jump back in his vehicle and escape at 100km/h.
It makes zero sense that a heavy can instantly jump out of a vehicle and have his HMG wielded and ready to go.

So, I think a delay in exiting and entering a vehicle should be put in. And actual animation would be nice, but that's asking a lot. Not just for HMG murder taxis, but also ADS and DS pilots that get the privilege to jump out of there ship well after its been shot dead. Even the tanker that jumps out of his tank in time before the final kill blow reaches him (although, that one almost is an art and a skill in itself, because unlike ADSes and DSes, tanks insta-pop)

I think exiting the vehicle should take 3 seconds. Entering; 1.5 seconds. Vehicles are needed on the battlefield, but should be subject to exploit.

You are not carrying a heap of military-grade equipment, nor are you carrying a weapon - let alone a heavy weapon - nor are you wearing power armour.



Why not? You have to stow your weapon then clamber in. The current teleporting is worse than a small timer that actually represents something. Or do you, in real life, actually teleport into your car?



Well, technically speaking the Swarm thing is a bad mechanism, not exploitation, and the JLAV thing is intentional, or else it would've been addressed (either removed or otherwise commented on.) And while RE tossing can be annoying, it's also immediately countered with situational awareness: as a Sentinel on my alt (er, well, this character) I can say that avoiding REs is actually fairly reasonable to ask of someone - it's usually just that the person misses the toss or activation sound, or simply blunders around a corner. The worst part of RE tossing is roof camping, but that is an entire different box of frogs.

1. The LAV has no doors and is open roof, whats to stop me from jumping in?

2. I am not stowing a weapon, i sling it roung my back and jump in
2a. When i get into my car in RL i do not hold and wait for a small circle to fill up and the closest i can teleport is jumping into it

3. Swarms are broken completely but its exploiting broken game mechanics
3a. Jihad is an exploit but also broken game mechanics, i cant put RE on friendly infantry so why can i do it on a vehicle?
3b. RE are being thrown like a grenade from an invisible scout and by the time it lands its ready to blow and unavoidable

Honestly, have some kind of animation like exiting and entering vehicles in Halo. Simple, relatively fast, easy. Gives a small time window for people to shoot the person exiting/entering a vehicle and prevents vehicles from being "instant power armor upgrade"

Clearly a tanker.... and not a good one?!

Missiles from swarms DON'T lock on from behind walls?! They lock on while the merc moves! So if i lock onto you then retreat left behind cover while turning my swarm launcher right the lock on stays red for about a second and fires. In order to do well against an enemy you must understand said enemy better than you understand yourself.

The issue with the enter/exit mechanic is it allows sentinels to jump out spraying. In the case of the murder taxi it allows proto sentinels to get as close as they want to a enemy with low hp, and gun him down leaving no room for escape?! In the event that the prey becomes predator the sentinel jumps back in the LAV in a cowardly fashion and runs away because he bit off more than he could chew?! No dropsuit can outrun an lav, and sense they have added larger scan profiles to vehicles (thank god) hopefully I can see this bs coming for a ways out.

I also don't agree with dropships not exploding in mid-air. If I put enough damage out to kill it he should blow up right there and then! Not me wasting ammo on a dead dropship because at 0 armor 0 shield he may still fly away?! Just saying

1. Yes you can lock on with the SL from behind cover, i have done this and retreated behind cover with the lock on intact

2. Sandbox - The LAV is fine, the sentinal is fine, they are using a tactic to overcome a problem but this is not allowed, yet when i say the jihad jeep is wrong i get 'sandbox' shouted back at me so if the jihad jeep stays then the LAV sentianl stays in my book - Cant be a hypocrite and have it all your way

3. If a DS flies away with 0/0 but it still flying you didnt do a good enough job
