Vehicles is usually about teamplay. Because count of vehicles is less than count of players.

So about teamplay:

*) Armor seats with able to fire primary weapons and rpgs is required thing. Yes its more dangerous than seats inside. But there's immediate evac and ability to oversee battlefield with your actor camera.

*) BF improved idea that any "inside" seat should increase power of the vehicle twice, but increase complexity of teamwork between crew. Minigun AND turret (like in tank) should be on APC too. It could solve the trouble "who first get the APC = the pro". Also - no night-vision/thermal inside gunner seats and no ability to switch some useful thing to that useful thing. Even russian old btr had a nightvision scope...

*) In BB that feature is useless in humvee, because almost no armor and much of holes where is totally no armor. Your humvee its like BF light jeep that was ULTRA fast (and ULTRA controlable as driver like your quadro) and used to transport and spot most of times. So seat with MG and Driver CAN NOT increase the firepower without teamwork at all. If you imagine HOW, it COULD work. For me - one possible gameplay on jeeps - is keep some hill in 200 meters from fight zone and shoot from there, but new spawns time to time drives me to fight zone then we all dies. Also you made bullets of humvees very slow in Browning. With range most of weapons 100+ meters fast flying bullet is not a problem at all. That problem borned in Battlefield because you cant just kill the humvee gunner in 1 sec, you have to risk and keep time to targeting for, thats why some miniguns made slow as a bullet speed. Also that browning miniguns in BF have third times more brighten tracers. The idea is shoot 1-2 shoots to show the team WHERE is the enemy on servers WITHOUT 3d-spot.

*) Old thing that was explored in Arma first - that is spawning on cars, because there was not spawning on people, so carry ambulance to enemy base was a strategical idea. It works from that times.

(Additional gameplay is available in BF gamestyle "tank domination" where both teams has 5+ tanks)

*) Additional teamwork vehicle is heavy armored transport. Most of times its a mobile spawn point for ALL the team (not single squad). Remember the Amtrack in BF. Also it could be light armored transport, idea was great explained in hollywood where good driver drives heavy jeep (without penetration zones), drives it to some square where drive "circles", allowing the team spawn and evacuate immediate. BB prevents it via "holding key" to spawn and "holding key" to evacuate. Its possible, but not now. Its could be ground-heli, but not now.

*) 8 seats inside APC for carrying people is used 1% of times. Because you see that damn rectangle of window and thats all, its boring and also dangerous. Even that windows in BF was equiped by 15deg miniguns for some fun stories about "how do you kill with that useless stuff at least one".

*) As you can see double seat for driver/gunner works good with boats. Because the gun is MANY stronger than other ones. Thats why number of seats is two. The humvee with two seats its like "fun thing" that is almost not working.
