#APC Passenger rework

At the time of writing this post, I have still not seen more than two people in an APC at the same time. Obviously this is a problem, APC are supposed to be full of people so seeing them be used by one person to shoot at the enemy from far away before getting hit with an RPG is such a waste of a perfectly good APC

So I started to wonder why nobody wants to ride in an APC as a passenger and I realized it's because it's so goddamn punishing to be in one as a passenger. Think of the last time you were stuck in the dark void of the APC passenger seat not being able to see anything and praying your driver would actually take you to the point instead of sniping the enemy from afar. THIS is why nobody rides in an APC, the absolute lack of any action and the huge limitation to visibility.

To remedy this issue I propose the interior of APCs for passengers get a rework by having an actual interior, letting you see your allies in the vehicle as well as actually good functioning windows to the outside. This small buff alongside a slight nerf to the cannon would transform the APCs from the worse tanks that they are currently to actual armored personnel carriers.

If you have any questions about anything please ask me. :D

(Oh, and this could also be implemented for the RCB90, but the APCs are more popular so the post is about them)

Ground vehicles are generally very weak compared to more popular transport options like helis cause

  1. They will explode in like 2-3 hits from heat and 1-2 from tandem. Like 1 heat deals 40 to APCs (excluding getting hit from behind) and 20 blackhawks if i recall correctly
  2. Much easier to hit compared to helis. One zooms in the air, other will likely crash into a tree or something if it isnt blown up at that point

It boils down to how some handle and just how easy they are to be destroyed

yeah being able to see allies inside the apc and actually move the camera would be helpful

Additionally, the spawn system discourages the use of ground vehicles as transports except at the start of the game. Why drive somewhere when you can teleport to a capture point or squad mate?

Yeah, let me play rock paper scissors with the player in front of me. Winner gets an extra throwable or a temporary buff.

if I remembered it correctly some apc have pot holes on the side which can be opened allowing infantries to fire from the hole. the only downside they have is limited firing angle and view angle
