I think it would be interesting if you could buy vehicles and control them RTS style as the commander.

Obviously, you need to limit numbers for balance reasons. But strategically placing LRM launchers or having light tanks escort an Assault mech would be something cool to see. Plus it'd be a nice C-Bill sink as well as more things to shoot at.

from the FAQ:
Q. Will there be vehicular combat alongside Mechs for the players this time?

A. At the moment we are not following up with combined arms (tanks, hovercraft, jets etc.)

I would rather not have pets. I do hope they will have vehicles as drivable options once they widen up the mech chassis selection some, taking a VTOL and playing an attack helo the way attack helos are supposed to work(unlike BF3 and any other game that has tried them) would be awesome. Right now its a bit limiting on mech selection and aside from the Atlas(never a fave for me) and Jenner, no real iconic mechs have been released yet..

I always liked it if I had a "pet" vehicle on the game board.

A nice cute tank is a nice addition but please only computer controlled. And agreed a LRM carrier can be very devestating.

I would also like maybe some escort or Search and destroy mission something in a moving tank protected by conventional tanks has to be captured or destroyed.

some tanks are op u know as the srm or lrm launchers they fire a total of 60 missilers at once ive been shredded to pieces more than once by a srm tank with even a new medium mech in 1 round so please do not add those things like the scorpion tank ac-5 or ac-2 varient, also the vanguard tanks are nice

They've stated that this is a Mechwarrior Pilot Sim, and that it will stay a Mechwarrior Pilot Sim.

[Fire for Effect]

I have no wish to pilot a tank or an ammo carrier. The Tank would be a pet you give it generic orders ("stay there and fire on anything" "artillery fire on that spot" or "scout there". If it is a coolant truck "grab 20 point of heat from me pls"

Not sure as pet.. but as computer controlled, I guess they'll be there.
