Lock Vehicles To Squad

[solar nimbus]

I think an improvement that might help encourage more team interplay is to lock vehicles to squads. If a crew hops out to repair their vehicle, a random teammate shouldn’t be able to hop in a dip out with the vehicle.

I’ve seen this be an issue for every vehicle from the humvees to the helis. This would also prevent random teammates from spawning in the vehicles and taking up space for the squad members.

should definitely be a thing

And make the squad at least have 4 people, or 1 man squads will just yoink stuff. I guess.

The tank hill campers do love that.

[small ruin]

doesn't matter what size squad they are, if they wanna solo camp in a tank that should be fine, they need to be able to repair without having someone snatch their tank, instead currently they take the tank all the way to base to heal every time, not contributing to the game

[harsh ledge]

They'll need to do that to resupply anyway.

But I am just the medic that goes around and C4's every vehicle in sight to hell.
Either for the score on enemy ones or to reset allied ones so they can transport again.

Whether this gets added or not, I don't think it really is gonna change anything in a meaningful way in any case.

Just add a lock button, and make it so vehicle stays locked while the person who locked it is alive

[small ruin]

its important for squads. Its extremely annoying when me and a friend or two are in a tank and one of us gets out to repair or engage infantry nearby and then we can't get back in because some random yonks the seat or the vehicle itself

[small ruin]

yup would be good

[chilly patio]

I do hope yall specifically mean in non transport vehicles

[small ruin]

yes its an issue with combat vehicles, but the hybrid ones that have turrets and can transport can just lock driver seat or turrets, would be perfect. Can leave passenger seats open for spawns and transport

[chilly patio]

As long as my helo can spawn randoms and give me free xp i have no problem with some type of squad vehicle system. Though i would probably take it a step further and have vehicles require squad points to use that way if for example some random jumps the helo and immediately crashes it they cant just camp for the next one. Have spawn vehicles be free and every vehicle afterwards cost some reasonable amount of squad points.

Or maybe auto lock the driver’s seat in the vehicle to the squad with the Vic claim? That way people can get in and ride, the just won’t be able to F1 into the seat and dip out.

[strong pilot]

maybe have toggleable locks on each seat

These guys are such clown that, they think oki will do this.. and I love to steal tank/APC all the time so stay mad

[heavy frost]

We already have guys that block roads with tracks. You think there wouldn't be people that will just block all vehicles? Very funny.

[thin galleon]

this is now a no-drive zone 😎

[flat bluff]

Actually... ye I suppose. But then what if you play as squad and you use a BTR or something, and the squad leaves the BTR to fire at nearby infantry or clear the area, and then needs to get back in, but then someone has already got in for a ride

[solar nimbus]

The driver seat should still be available to the squad that originally claimed the vehicle. That way someone can hop in, but the driver's seat stay available for the squad.

People already waste vehicles, and the respawn timer is relatively short for the vehicles. So I don't really see the complaints people have besides them wanting to gank vehicles from people. Any abandoned vehicle can be destroyed or pushed out of the way anyway. Is the game really going to be ruined because the random meme connoisseur can't yoink vics from people for Squads? Even though there's usually a plethora of Vic all over the map?

Either way, not a big deal. It's easy enough to stay in the Vic and roll to a rep station anyway. Just trying to give feedback from the playtests.

Option to lock vehicles @solar nimbus

[harsh ledge]

That's what he suggested. 🗿

🗿 my 🗿 bad 🗿

Ability to lock driver, to kick/lock out gunner seat would be nifty. If server rules are clear it should be fine. (Avoid abuse)

[flat bluff]

its a constant battle to avoid getting vehicles stolen. people would rather drive 30 seconds into death then keep the vehicle in the established fighting position. add the ability to lock vehicles in some shape or form

[crisp goblet]

Stealing vehicles is a big reason why you should never leave your vehicle. You want to repair? Go back to base. You want to dismantle sandbags onnthe road? Ask on voice or deal with it. Leaving vehicle is just asking for it to be stolen. Often by a player that will use tank/apc as a quad and leave it when he gets to the place he wanted, or by the player that will charge into the enemy and die instantly.

Trying to play the assault littlebird and someone spawns on you trying to repair and rearm: "Dude you know how to fly this thing?" "Drop the rope please." "Does this thing have guns?" "Take me over C please." "I dont want to be here take me to X" "Hey bro GET LOW TO THE GROUND FOR ME"
