Transport vehicles that could move player from one side of the map to the other quickly. The players riding could fire but accuracy is greatly affected. If there is a large dip or there is a log and the driver runs over it a passenger could be thrown from it and damaged based on the way they land.

I'd generally want to avoid jeeps and motorbikes if thier implementation was unrealistic like the Clown Car in RO1.

What would make these behave "realistically" in relation to the problems with RO1?

1.) Firstly, implement some of the stuff that Darkest Hour has implemented: If you jump out of a jeep or HT going at full speed, you die. If you drive your jeep at full speed into a tank (and maybe walls, not sure) it blows up.
2.) Realistic suspensions and vehicle behavoir. If you take your motorcycle or jeep and drive full tilt into a farm field or crash around into a gully, the vehicle should be extremely hard to control, risk rolling over, and even blow out the suspension.
3.) Probably most importantly, they should be highly vunerable to small arms fire. A jeep or motorbike is a soft-skinned vehicle, and an MG can devestate it. Players inside should be more or less completely unprotected from MG or rifle fire, like it is in real life.

Overall I think this would eliminate or at least reduce some of the problems present with small vehicles in RO. People would use them realistically, ie. getting TO the frontline, but not assaulting with it. An MG or HE tank round should tear a jeep or bike to shreds.

it would be nice to have the option to shoot out of a HT or the kuble... i do see how it could be abused... i read on another thread that they want to be able to throw nades into HTs and such so i thought maybe having the passengers be able to shoot out would nice...

I'd also like to see some more small vehicles, but they should be implemented in a realistic way as stated by someone before already. having them like they are in RO1 now would be silly, as it should be not that hard to do them right I think.
so please TWI, add some motorcycles etc

im not really likeing the whole throwing of the charechter, itd be stupid and annoying, and besides at least for a motor cycle the DRIVER would most likely fall out not the passenger even thoguht both would/could happen in rl. maybe if u ment the vehicle TIPPED over or something then ur thrown out that wouldnt be too bad.

EDIT: sorry i missed the part of where u said "depending on how they land" my mistake, in that case than thats a pretty good idea, once again sorry :(
