dunno how many vehicle drivers are in this post but allow me to add a dropship pilots view on this.
My assault dropship runs me 1,491,420 isk if i loose one, i have to grind quite a few games to get it back. These dropships are just as vulnerable to forgeguns as the regular ones, and tanks can almost one shot it. Dont even get me started on the people who just sit in a rail turret. I think its nice that if i call it in and 3 rail shots wizz by i dont have to loose this very very expensive dropship and i can still go and fight instead of flying circles in the red line because i cant leave the dropship. I can see some peoples frustration in the fact that you dont get a kill on the tank/dropship but please keep in mind that you have still gotten rid of it, and as a dedicated dropship pilot you have denied me my job, but thats ok because i dont have to go grind 20 games for my dropship again. i think this is a fair trade

Right. Title says it all. But, I suppose I'll elaborate.

We're in a match, this dude keeps driving his Prototype Falchion tank into battle.. When **** starts to get hot (Read: We force him to use his Shield Booster), he simply drives a short distance away, triggers all the hardeners, pops out, and recalls the vehicle. In under 10 seconds, *Poof*, no more worry about losing his tank

Then, true to form, he recalls it a few moments later from their red line.

Is this seriously how this feature was meant to be used? Especially with the incoming buff in tank hit points, that only extends peoples window to perform this.

Can we get some kind of 'Cancel' feature on this, where enemy damage cancels the recall action? Hell, it's faster than hacking a point, you can probably squeeze it in between Swarm launcher reloads even with that feature.

CCP?

Dude your an idiot you really are yes we recall vehicles but you go a switch out suits to change weapons and regain health you also spam and just a pain so keep it the same ccp and stop this dude starting stupid posts like this

Just make the "hack" take a little longer. I'm sure they never intended for vehicle recall to be used in the heat of battle.

This seems like a good idea. Add a longer hack. Reset the hack if the vehicle takes damage during the hack, and have the vehicle picked up by an RDV.

More balanced, more fun, and believable.

It's faster than the lock on and flight time from 50m away, funny **** when tank rolls behind a building and it's gone, just gone.

WOW! first of all, i don't think most of you EVER recalled a vehicle before. if your taking damage, it resets the recall hack.
second, if i spawn with an SMG and the situation doesn't call for CQC, i RECALL that fitting at a supply depot.
also, if im about to die in my dropsuit, i run to a supply depot and get my ass out of trouble.
theres no difference between dropsuit/supply depot and vehicle/recall.

GOOD DAY

I totally agree that a tank should be recalled by an RDV. A HUGE vehicle shouldn't just vanish after ten seconds (or however long it takes). It should take as long as counter-hacking an objective, then queue it if the RDV is busy. I think that would be a good solution. That way, the tank driver has to get the tank out of harm's way and where the RDV won't get shot down. Then call it in, instead of relying on his tank's shield and armor to last ten more seconds before it turns into magical leprechaun **** and floats back to his assets.

I'm just curious why an RDV doesn't come to pick it up.
Seems pretty devoid of risk that we can just recall almost instantly.
