Recovery Vehicle

One thing I absolutely hate is you're driving along in your truck or APC... and rarely a tank and you hit bad terrain and you roll. Now, in reality that rolled vehicle would just conmtinue to sit there until recovered, because they're so heavy they can be recovered by hand so a vehicle is used. Somewhat like a tank with a small crane attachment on the front used for pulling vehicles the correct way.

What I would like to see is Logistic trucks being used for vehicle recovery with their repair stations and and the introduction of these recoivery vehicles.

These vehicles would have two seats. One for the driver, another for the operator.
Working like a tank turret the operator can turn a full 360 degrees and if the rolled / damaged vehicle is within 10 meters it will begin to turn it over to rest correctly.


So, a quick breakdown.

Remove:
Vehicles being damaged by terrain when rolled so they no longer blow up unless destroyed by enemy
Logistics trucks being used to repair tanks and APC's

Add:
Recovery vehicles for factions
Logistics trucks can be used to repair light vehicles such as humvee's etc in the field.




I do apologise if this was suggested before, I did luck but was unable to find.

thruthfully, in my oppinion, i think its a good idea..
also, i think it is hardcoded.
i think this for one reason, the fall throw moving stuff glitch,
you can not put a bike in a helo and keep it in, becuase it will fall throw,
also, if they could fix that glitch, how would they stick togeather? (like the idk, hook and tank) (in the game)
