Vehicle Speed sets for keeping pace with troops?

[Goldeh]

I wish there were set speeds for vehicles.

What I mean is like, when you press numpad 1 your vehicle speed decreases to the same speed as a trooper shift-key-sprinting, meaning your max vehicle speed would be the same trooper sprint speed.

Pressing numpad 2 will decrease your vehicle speed to trooper "walking" speed, max speed would be trooper "walking speed".

Numpad 3 speed will bring your bring your vehicle up to regular speed, max speed would outrun everything etc.

I think this would be a nice feature, just so the vehicle user doesn't have to keep of pause-pressing the W key to keep pace with troops.

Thoughts?

I did like this in PS1 for flying a galaxy for cruising long distances but i dont think they are trying to do this mainly because it was used for when there was down time between fights

When it comes to columns of vehicles, especially with fleets of aircraft, I can certainly see merit in a speed limiter. It is something I would like to see however if there is not much downtime it could be useless

Keep in mind, however, that matching speeds to other vehicles won't be as simple, because there will be a great variety in vehicle speed from person to person depending on how they have them customized.

This wont be a problem if you just have hotkeys for certain vehicle speeds.

I'd be happy with the vehicle throttle percentages they had in PS1.
