APC spawning is essential for big maps, especially if there is few RPs and Bunkers etc being utilised. I think it'll be a mistake taking it out the game.

Its only essential if your squad leader fails to get rally points down.

Cant you put the "F1" position (that ppl spawn to) some other seat in the APC or something?

i believe this has been one of the most widely suggested/discussed topics.
would think the devs thought it through.

not possible i dont think...

with APC spawn removal, you will have to rely on commander assets alot more for spawning, and their importance will be much higher.

as well, APC will turn into a transport and support vehicle, and not a 'lets hide the car in the ditch so we can spawn there' vehicle...

obviously, thats what spawn cars and the 2nd commander truck is for

So is there any plan to improve the offensive/defensive capabilites of the IFVs to make them more suitable for front line work, now that they're no longer park out of sight jobs? Like bringing back the BTR-90's ATGM...

I also take it this is the end of the road for any hope of seeing my idea of having IVFs (transport/firepower, autocannon) as well as APCs (spawn/transport, 7.62mm/12.7mm/14.5mm MG) being implimented...

IFV and APC is great idea, Id love to see it.... I dont think anyone is against this at all, its just a matter of getting all the different factions vehicles in...

ATGM would either be an all or none type deal I think... so prolly wont happen anytime soon.

I disagree with ANY vehicle being a spawnpoint, especially for an entire team. I just dont think it works very well and gives teams a huge temptation to just zerg rush the enemy with these vehicles acting as infinite spawn (until it inevitable gets destroyed).
