Exciting adjustments for the transport vehicles?

Occasionally I like to play a Conquest/Breakthrough round where I just drive around the entire map in the MAV capping points, fortifying positions, spawning friendlies and racking up my score and assists. Maybe DICE could make some changes to it alongside with the transport aircraft because we all know how strong the 50mm really is from the air. With the MAV I was thinking perhaps I should be able to deploy mines or use anti-personnel clusters while driving, the latter of which might be too powerful. Also, all of the transport vehicles absolutely NEED to be adjusted to where people can spawn on the vehicle regardless of capacity. Condor/Hind would just instantly drop paratroopers while the MAV would pop out the back hatch, knowing full well the MAV might be in heated conflict so it might not always be wise to spawn, giving the player choices. The whole point is to transport and fortify positions which would work wonders and also make the MAV and aircraft a fun little minigame/objective just being on the map. Attackers would really have to pay attention and look for where the fortified position may be and strive to nullify it, meanwhile the defenders may be more inclined to keep it alive and protect it, could create some fun skirmishes. Also, other options to countermeasures for all transport vehicles would be nice, maybe something more offensive. Perhaps drops some spotting flares from the Condor/Hind a la BFV style or maybe a healing mist that surrounds the MAV for a short window. How about giving us the option to run some sort of supply drop that can keep allies in the fight like an Angel can do. Since tanks are pretty underpowered right now what about a reload kit/station that we can drop to increase the tank's reload speed or something. Obviously, all of these suggestions are just fun and creative ways to make the Battlefield more enjoyable and make players feel like they're having a bigger impact and I realize all suggestions may not work in the game or might completely ruin balance. I would just like to see DICE take some creative chances and spice things up in the future. It is 2042 after all and even though it's "near future" surely, they can take some creative liberties to keep the community more engaged.

edit: Keep in mind that all of this assumes that the 50mm is removed from the birds, we all know that needs to happen so I'm not even bothering to talk about it. This is strictly a value topic for the transports once the 50mm is completely gone. Transport vehicles are not fit, IMO, to fill the role they're supposedly meant to fill at this current juncture and their value will be significantly lessened more so once the 50mm is gone.
