Well. This is simple.
Add a 5 second start time to all vehicles. 2 reasons.
Reason 1. This simulates people hoping into there vehicle and starting the engine. I dont imagine you magically appear in your car then the engine starts immediatly.
Reason 2. It stops the driver of the vehicle from hoping out in the middle of a combat. If they do so there likely to be hit by a AT rocket because they cant move when needed.

added a little to the title to explain.

Re: Start times for vehicles
I like the idea, it would mean people would have to plan ahead if they're going to retreat. And less single-man driving like crazy into combat, firing off a few rounds then diving back into the driving seat as soon as they return fire.

We wanted to do this, but it creates some nasty bugs with vehicles jumping in the air and whatnot.

While 'turning off your engine' (moving to the third seat, or dismounting.) is a mostly valid tactic to avoid being heard or to hear other armored vehicles -- you shouldn't be able to hop back in and start rolling immediately.

Re: Start times for vehicles
Just about the start a thread on that.
I back-up this 10 times.
Put an AT kit to one side and a tank to another. I'm pretty sure crewman would get in to the tank, drive over him, get out, bury the body before AT can put a single shot. (Actually I will try this tonight)
How come it works with the helis?

Helis and airplanes are very bouncy, if you haven't noticed.

Re: Start times for vehicles
the helis are like elts say attchetd to the ground before they take off thats why when you try to take off they fall over, so when apc's are attached they attach to well and when you get out before it starting properly it goes boing!
