I’d like (A) the option to bail out of a ground vehicle, same as you can bail from a plane; (B) it would be extra cool if your bailed ground crewman had a submachine gun instead of a side arm -- the German MP-40 would be a good choice; (C) finally, I’d like to see the a/c an/or gv crewman be a spawn-able item, same as planes and vehicles. Item (A) would require minimal code effort and no new 3D modeling or skins. Item (B) would require the model for the MP-40 (though it was a pretty simple looking weapon), and (optional) perhaps a different uniform skin for the standard pilot model. Level of effort for (C) would depend on whether (B) was also done, but is potentially minimal effort as well.
Why would I want these? Just because it would be fun, and would offer a new element to the game that is lacking. Gamey? Probably, but no more so than the current pilot with his side-arm. In fact, since all vehicle can take a second player on as a gunner, HTC could make it possible for them to bail independently of the driver. A dozen jeeps could transport an entire platoon’s worth of troops.
What do you say, HiTech? Can’t we have this quick and dirty mod while we wait for CT?
