Please keep vehicle swapping.

Solo practitioners will not be able to deal with two threat classes at once.

Since you can't fire more than one weapon at a time, this is already the case.

Its not, as you can instantly swap to whatever suits the situation.

I am actually opposed to this.
I am certain those who played Planetside feel nostalgic about fixed seats and yellow circles on the ground, and I'm not saying these people are automatically wrong for feeling that way, but for me it just doesn't work. I enjoy seat swapping.

In Battlefield 3, I like being able to pick up the machine gun turret if the gunner bails for whatever reason. If I were flying a Liberator (I'm not the best pilot), I would like to give the pilots seat to my friend if he is a better pilot than me. If I was driving a Magrider alone, I would like to be able to quickly man the AA turret if I suddenly came under fire by enemy aircaft.

I like the flexibility fast seat switching provides.

As I said, I don't think anyone is wrong in wanting this, but for me, personally, it just doesn't work.

This is really the same issue as instant entry/exiting.

The time this was argued extensively, the closest I saw anyone get to consensus was "swapping with a reasonable delay". Can we just start from there rather than fight all the way in from both sides for the N-th time?

I'm opposed to hot swapping seats when airborne or on the move, I think you should have to be on the ground or not moving to do it.

Is this a generational thing? No repercussions to your choices? You don't even have to get out to man a different gun, that's ok?

Your machine gunner got sniped, so you should be able to instantly pop in and continue firing at his target? NVM that the guy who removed your gunner should now have his advantage he played tacitly for?

That would at least be something.

Yeah I disagree, it's nice for nostalgia's sake but when your driving and people just bail on you it really sucks. Atleast this way you can hope to maybe be useful instead of just being a wasted life. Maybe instant seat swapping should be gone, but not seat swapping, that's just silly.

Why can I enter a reaver from the tail, that makes no sense.

Also add more "I win" buttons.

I like the seat swapping myself. I hope they keep it.

My main reason is if you are not fully manned you can swap and try to kill the other guy. If you die well you can be happy you tried.
In the past you die and there has been nothing you can do but die, not much fun for yourself.

They always say, it's better to have tried and failed than to never try at all
