Impossible situations

Spawning onto an APC that is full except for the turret. If the driver isn't in your squad, it's very hard to tell them to stop, so you can get out.

Your choices:

Jump out while the APC is going full speed, and die.

Stay in the turret position, hoping the APC will stop, and you die anyways.

Even if APC spawn is removed, the same thing can happen if your squad leader is in the APC, or you jump in, and the driver instantly starts driving.

There is nothing you can do. Please fix this.

maybe a kind of bell with an unique sound to indicate to the crewman to stop. This sounds good but this system can be abused, and overused, so very annoying. I don´t see a better solution than pray and jump away.

how about we just ad a stop the vehicle option to the commrose?
there is a REASON this has been discussed to DEATH, because its NEEDED

it is SO annoying when ppl need to bail out but they either have to die or suffer at the mercy of the driver.
even if ur hit by an AT rocket, and the thing is on flames...

I just say "Bail Out" "Bail Out". That's good enough for saying please stop isn't it? (almost)

apc spawn removed (can't spawn into the apc without spawning on your SL)
squad voip is already there (you can ask the SL if there is room in the apc)
problem solved.

And you if you have your SL in the apc why would you even spawn in? You can just wait untill the SL jumps out. No disadvantages, but there is the advantage that if the apc gets destroyed you just avoided getting killed.

Not at all.

Even in future version, with the APC-spawn removed, you will need some way to tell the vehicle driver to stop. Unless, of course, you wanna avoid vehicles and go on foot all the time.

Exactly.

For the record, and to get into peoples heads; APC Spawning is being removed in 0.7.

Won't this turn the APC back into just a gunship again? I can't see players keeping it alive just to cart other people back and forth. But then again, if you can't spawn on it, there's not too many other functions for it anyway. (ammo + a slightly more armoured buggy)

Well, it will still be a Armoured Personell Carrier, with a heavy defencive gun, and act as a supplyzone for ammo and Requestable Kits. Just not a Spawnpoint.
It works...

But it'll die a hell of a lot more

there is the team chat.
Writing "apc driver, please drop us off at [insert place here]" after jumping into the apc works pretty well.
And then there is the "bail out" thing, which works pretty well too.

And originally this thread was about getting killed because you spawned into an apc with no room. Which is solved just fine by removing the apc spawn and communicating with the SL.

why do you have to die when ur in the turret? i know it frees up space but its very annoying when u spawn (even in a not full apc) and end up in the turret but there is lagg so you cant change position
