Ahhhhh,so you want sniper taxis back then.

Sorry, I don't know this reference of "sniper taxis". My early years of Battlefield were on console if that helps.
I did a quick Google search and found a video of a sniper class sniping someone out of a small vehicle. Is that called a "sniper taxi"?

No. Often at the beginning of a round in bf4 snipers would take a jet and bail over something they wanted to lay prone and snipe from. Putting their team in an awkward position if the enemy actually had dedicated pilots who could then proceed to farm since no threat remained against them.

Oh, okay yeah I remember that. I didn't mind it as much, as I did that once in a while. BF4, BF3 ish.

Too many snipers took vehicles, especially Air vehicles, to get to their favourite camping spot thus depriving the team of a valuable asset hence all drivers of vehicles were made as a 'driver' class.
I should also add that it can dissuade players from a banding vehicles to run off and play their 'infantry class' if things got a tad difficult in the vehicle.

And often worse, trashing the entire heli and killing all their teammates in the process, as the sniper jumped out when passing the roof top they wanted to lay and camp on. That often happened just at game start. But why not build in then a penalty for those team killers/vehicle trashers?
Yeah I understand the term now as someone already explained it, but thanks for the follow up.
Also I encourage that type of gameplay. I personally might get upset that someone uses an ingame item for their own personal gain, but I also understand they're just doing it, because of the limits put forth by the game developers over at DICE.
For example if I was a game developer, I would have done the opposite of what DICE did. I would have just created a new ingame way of reaching those locations, so the players could still get them, without using valuable resources.
Everyone should be able to express their creativity at will, without limitation in a video game. Now don't over read into that, I'm not saying people should just be able to fly and shoot lasers out their eyes, just saying in a Battlefield title, it should be a sandbox.
A set of ingame gadgets, weapons, vehicles with huge destructible maps. Let the players go crazy. Let each person have their own fun. I'm 100% against vehicle classes. I see it as another limitation on what was a great sandbox experience, turned into a casual nightmare.
