Tanks, damage, and scuttle

I get annoyed with the scuttle command and would like to see it expanded so that you can scuttle at anytime. Quite often, I get hit in the engine to the point where it's disabled (red) and can't move, can't manouvre to the ammo dumps to get refitted, nor can I use the scuttle command, and am forced to quit the game and come back in.

Actually, what I would like to see is the ammo dumps completely removed from the map, and replaced with a command (radio call) back to HQ to send in a repair vehicle that would come to your location, refit and ammo up your tank. Of course the repair vehicle would be almost completely vulnerable (having some armour, but no weapons) on it's way the repair site.
Picture and history...

Otherwise if the engine or tracks are messed up, its usually with me in a battle situation already so just keep shootin till u blow.


Not useful argument.

Last time my tracks were disabled from an unknown location. Impossible to scuttle. Nothing to do, no enemy, not even friendly. Needed to open the console and use the suicide command.

Or imagine you get damaged to the track by an lone engineer/at guy (yes, they are plenty of them) then the battle move away. Sit in the tank and look how beautiful is modelled the interior during the entire match is not really interesting.

Even worst when your tank is stuck in a wall and don't want to move at all.
