Again, just use your mg, unless you are facing the wrong way.

With my luck, that will always happen.

It can become a way of life.

I would say no to this.  Bailing from the tank should be a last ditch effort, not an option to go wandering around AH world.

All the debri from shot down aircraft shod be littering the landscape as well then, but they just disappear, so we can do the same with the tank if left for a long time.

I've always wondered why we couldn't hop outa a tank. I don't see why we can't. It's not like it really matters or it would be useful at all, but hell, why not?
I see your point as to "why not?", but useless? It would be found highly useful to some and even fun to some others. No doubt it would be fun to be in the middle of an enemy run way cussing in English and shooting planes with 9mm bullets. Not a single person would expect that.

I don't know I have seen a lot of pictures of dead tank crews next to the tank they tried to bail out of. I don't see the point in this game.

Keep in mind that IRL, the ditching crew would be sitting ducks for the enemy soldiers.

We have no soldiers in here.
Unless they're players who bailed out of their tanks

I would be incredibly useful to bail out and run into a maproom to kill inbound troops.  What you'de end up with I'm afraid is a base full of GVer's bailing to do just that.

I don't like it for that reason.

I liked the idea until I read BaldEagl's comment.  I think he's dead on right.
