Feature Request: Squad Lock Option for Vehicle Gunner Seats

A way to request to be squad leader would also be pretty cool

It's an interesting idea, but the only way to balance it would be to force squad-only spawning on all vehicles for everyone. Otherwise one team will have a team-wide spawn location in the field, while the other team will be missing out on that spawn location cause that vehicle would be squad-only.

I see exactly what you mean. So the idea would be that it would strictly effect the gunner seat (granted this could be problematic to code), additionally the feature would be off by default and could be reset with every vehicle spawn. Is there anything else you might add?

Edit made to clarify language

I don't think it can be done in a clean way. Too many corner-cases. For example, trolls in a squad by themselves locking people out from spawning.

That’s a fair point, trolls abusing the system would definitely be frustrating. Maybe it could be limited so only vehicles with at least two or three squad members onboard can enable the lock? That way it discourages solo trolling but still gives squads some control over coordination.

Curious, do you think something like that could work better, or would it just create new problems?

Re; edit to clarify

I totally agree. Once the tank leaves base, only the squad should be able to respawn in it. Too many times our gunner refuses to leave the seat to repair, so I get out to fix the tank myself — and then someone else just hops in and steals it. Tanks should stay locked to the squad that deployed with them, otherwise it ruins the experience for people actually trying to play the role properly.

Snipe300 are u dumb it was already done in a clean way in bf4. and 3.
