Think about it, you ever see a tanker in a WWII movie saying "punching out" as he trips a big red handle that blows him up & out of his burning tank?
Tankers don't "eject" Technically fighter pilots don't either, they "bail". Open cockpit, kick butt over the side (or roll plane upside down & fall out) then open chute.
-
I think the question is - why can't one exit from a GV and end up on foot, similar to being a downed pilot?
If you're in a burning panzer with no engine or turret, you can't exit the tank.
===
Also, why can't a downed pilot join a jeep? Maybe get a lift back to base as a passenger.

when a tank is on firer or something like that the crew can get out if they can open the hatch and bail.

Because probably what happened more often was the crew was killed by that last shot, or knocked silly, or was roasted alive, or the internal ammo would "cook off". Then your buddy in another tank, or the enemy from his tank, would walk over and use his pistol to put you out of your misery, if you were still suffering. The reason most tankers carried pistols, by some accounts, more than self protection.

hmmm

In that case, NO to ditching vehicles, we already have enough team killers :D

hey, i like the troop pickup idea. I mean when i got shot down (and im downed alot), there always seems to be a jeep, M3 or somethin near me. I like the idea of 2 passengers in a jeep, 4 in a Lvt2, and 6 in a M3. I mean 3 M3's could bring a whole squad back to base and it would count as a sucsesful ditch if they landed safefly. I also like the idea of troops that ACTUALY SHOOT! it seems like troops carry the pistols for no reason. What are they gonna use them for?? Are they gonna play Russian roulette in the map room??
-
Several times I've used my pistol to kill enemy troops trying to take a map room. It works too. Talk about last ditch defense!
Anyway, if Jeeps, M3s etc. could pick up troops then we've got an argument for a Lysander, Storch and Grasshopper - planes which have no chance otherwise.
You'd only get one survivor from a burnt out tank, and presumably none if the tank blows up. But one survivor bailing out of a burning tank rather than the (gamey) waiting for for v. supplies sounds pretty cool to me. Though it means that Whels might even get to land more kills .

Its modeled in the game to where you can exit a disabled vehicle.
Open your chat buffer and type .ef

You could also ask a friendly (or enemy) jeep to drive into you and...
-

ok you got me on that 1, but what about u ejecting from a plane the planes canopy is closed, its like u magicly fell through the plane. also wouldnt take time for your guy to unbuckle himself, open the canopy and jump out. so wouldnt the same way the jumping out of a plane be the same for a vehicle:p

Not all tank crew died every time their engine was hit!
-
too much like hard work for the htc crew..
-
Microsofts CFS featured a random 'bail-out failure', sometimes your chute wouldn't open (in time)
That'd be something to have :)

and 30 clicks of "End Sortie" can bring a squad back also...and much easier.
