I think it would be interesting if you could purchase small vehicles such as scout cars or smaller tanks like the Pegasus or Vendette that could be dropped like a UAV in a grid, and it would patrol it and / or attack with light weaponry (M. Laser, etc).

This would allow for units to drop them to patrol and give their side a few moments to respond to flanking or scouting attacks, Even if they stayed in one place would be a valuable resource not easily shot down from the sky, and provide another element of the original lore ( like pirate factions) to the game on the battlefield.

It could be expanded by offering different variants ( 1 is a M. Laser, another a LRM 5 version, maybe one that is a recon/tag unit), with more powerful units costing more c-bills. Just thought I'd throw this out there, happy hunting everyone!

Swiftwind all day! Vehicles have been talked about here and there I hope they are implemented in some way eventually. The best place would probably be on huge CW maps.

They're already talking about adding in AI and PVE elements in 2015, and that's going to be the first step toward achieving what you've suggested. Obviously it would be awesome for the game, and I think a lot of people would like it.

That would be so cool.. though I hope they wouldn't be as squishy as they are in MW4.

Demax is right; there are some options on the development table. This would be so sweet!

Frankly, I would like to see them as consumables. :)

I'd like a 5 ton vehicle I could use to fill out my drop deck(a separate vehicle slot, not one of my mecha)
