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?

No, you're thinking of someone else, someone who doesn't care if the game sucks:). Seriously tho, flying will always be my favorite aspect of the game. Just thought it would be fun and easy to add this. I could be wrong, of course.

This would be good for hunting down people who bail out, but we'd need to do away with EFing once you bail, unless you were on a friendly base/depot/factory/etc.

If we go this route, then we need an option for signalmen on the carriers with flags too for takeoffs and LSO's.
