One of the main problems involving vehicle on vehicle warfare is the bailing in and out of it. A few of the most irritating scenarios will be as follows:
LAV scenario: HMG heavy gets in a LAV, drives around mowing down random people getting cheap kills. Heavy goes against another heavy, LAV heavy is getting wrecked, he jumps in his car and drives away, safe and sound.
another scenario is the AV LAV combo. AV gets in car, drives in with forge and finds ADS (ADS is where it is most problematic, tanks can just ram LAV and he has nowhere to go). Forge shoots at ADS, ADS goes in, fight starts. Say the ADS is winning, forge goes back in car, and 80% of the time he gets away.
HMG heavy gets in LAV with a rail, and snipes in the car, insanely hard to kill because he can swap seats immediately and drive off.
ADS scenarios: Say an rail incubus finds and starts assaulting a tank. Tanker jumps out with forge or swarms, ADS has no choice but to run, or die.
Imagine the same scenario as above, but this time, the ADS is a python. Python goes in to attack tank, tanker hops out and shoots a forge or swarm at ADS, fight ensues. Say ADS is winning, tanker hops immediately back in his tank, drives off with an ungodly amount of HP to get away from ADS.
Tank scenarios: Tank encounters another tank, fight ensues. Tank 1 beats tank 2, tank 2 bails out and starts belting the injured tank 1. Tank 1 dies despite beating the second tank.
Tank 1 spots tank 2. Fight ensues again, but this time, tank 2 has two gunners with AV who immediately hop out and assault tank 1. Tank 1 has to flee, tank 2 picks up his compatriots immediately, resumes the chase and tank 1 dies not giving the first tank an opportunity to escape.
Tank 1 spots tank 2, again. Tank 1 blows up tank 2, but the second tanker jumps out and activates a cloak, hides for the rest of the game.
NOTE: This part is very important, vehicle users should not be subject to this at the initial drop of vehicle (RDV deployment). The reasoning behind this is if he calls his vehicle in the redline, and there is an enemy tank watching, that tank has the opportunity to hammer the tank being called in before he even has a chance to defend himself.

Passengers could be exempt from these penalties.
Respectfully disagree. The problem with this thought is something I personally do myself. Whenever I get shot down, I usually bail out of a passenger side. I do this because it's less likely to crush me in the crash to happen. Same scenario will happen with a tank, he'll simply put on a turret, swap seats and bail at first chance.
