Transport vehicles

[Raelity]

I saw a thread recently where someone remarked that it would be cool if troops could run out the back of a transport vehicle, like soldiers disembarking from a Chinook helicopter. I thought this was a really cool idea and I gave some thought to how it could work, this isn't so much a suggestion as what went through my head. I'm aware this doesn't really give enough tactical gameplay advantage to be worth implementing, it would just look and feel better.

Does anyone remember the transport helicopters in Battlefield: Vietnam? They had the seats that you 'lock' into when you press E (or whatever) from outside the vehicle, like with normal Planetside vehicles, this is obviously better because having guys free inside the thing when its flying can cause loads of physics/balance issues (I don't mean balance as in they would be falling over all the time , I mean they could all be shooting out the back.)

What was different was that when you stood up from your seat instead of kicking you out it put you inside the chopper, so you could run out as a team rather than scattering in all directions. You'd need to implement a system where people could only stand up when the aircraft was landed/close to the ground. The problem with that system is it doesn't fit the Gal very well because no-one in their right mind would land it when hot-dropping is possible. But it might be a cool system for a smaller, faster, heavily armoured type dropship that has to land for people or perhaps a single large vehicle or tank (the BF:V choppers could pick up tanks, but that's for another thread ) to disembark. I'm aware the phantasm currently has this area covered and what I'm (sort of) suggesting gives only a slight tactical advantage as a well organised squad would form up anyway and a badly organised one would scatter no matter what they landed in.

I just want you to imagine a group of transports streaming over the walls of a contested base, the landing ramps descending just as they touch down in the courtyard, and small organised groups of troopers sprinting out, disabling the CE, clearing the gates and allowing the heavy armour and main assault to break through.

Oh and this could apply to the Juggernaut style transports too
