To many memes
I do love the BF community but some of you are just whacked. Some demand that players learn to adapted, face challenges and think more tactical while demanding - we all wear the same uniforms. -...
enter/exit animations aren't essential given they weren't in the franchise for ~15 years.
And they aren't well executed at all. The animations are hard to look at day in and day out with how much the camera moves around and they take too long too.
Yes they do stop some 'unfairness' but at the expense of lots of other fun and practicality. ...because, for one, most of the time you're just getting in a vehicle without an enemy around. And yet now you can't just hop in and go. You gotta watch that micro movie over and over and over every round. You can't hop out of the vehicle either when you encounter some enemies. If you try to hop out in such a case you'll end up a ways away and/or you'll be executed because you're sitting duck in BFV when trying to get out of a vehicle. All because you gotta go through the 2-3 sec animation. A lot of spontaneity is lost. Parachuting is more lame with the 2-3 second delay. Jumping out and repairing vehicles isn't very doable now either.
The animations really annoy the player when they jump into a vehicle then decide to jump in a different vehicle for various reasons. In those situations , you're forced to watch 3 micro movies in a row. A lot of practicality/ease of use is lost. And annoyance is increased.
Animations also just created a different kind of unfairness. Now the guy in the jeep, for example, who was already a bit of a sitting duck, is really a sitting duck since it takes 2-3 seconds to get out of the jeep. Any guy getting into a tank is now served up on a platter for enemies sitting in bushes. The last second escapes from a vehicle about to blow up aren't as fun either.
Also it's untrue you couldn't kill a guy (while he was repping a vehicle) before he hops back in. Did it all the time. There's already internet delay as it is so a player can't react right away as it is so if you land your shots, especially headshots, you're going to drop the guy quite often. As it was, a rocket or sniper rifle etc could take out the guy in one shot already. Also the better move was to steal the vehicle instead if the repair guy was the driver. That ability is largely taken away.
So the end result has been less fun overall in order to solve some minor esports influenced technicality. In other words, the cure is worse than the disease.
Last, even if the repair guy gets back into the tank, you've forced him to stop his repair. That's a positive most of the time because there's a good chance the tank remains low on health and vulnerable. Ready for you or a teammate to take it out.

That's exactly right and working as intended.
Protip: You can kill the enemies while inside most vehicles
I mean you can't work for one day at the store at the mall and make $99,999,999. You can't wipe your bum 1 time and expect it to be clean forever and you can't exit a vehicle and expect not to be vulnerable. These are simple life facts and if a person is genuinely struggling with these concepts they may wish to consider getting aid. This may be legitimately foreign to you but when you wait for someone to fire an rpg or switch to C4 or repair tool (attack) and you magically warp out of the vehicle and kill them while they are vulnerable, it isn't fun for them.

Beautiful! *chef's kiss!* Working exactly as intended 😃 Jeeps are some of the fastest vehicles in the game. That's the cost of mobility. I'[m not seeing a 2-3 second jeep animation either. This shows about 1 second. And last second escapes from a tank, really? You got GOT and you're trying to steal a kill from the someone did the gotting. That's shameful! In many cases you shouldn't be abandoning the vehicle period (Thank you for reminding me of another benefit - reduction in vehicle abandonment)
Also it's untrue you couldn't kill a guy (while he was repping a vehicle) before he hops back in.
I never said you couldn't nor implied that so I will assume you are arguing with yourself here. I did, correctly, say that people could (and often did) warp into vehicles while repping to avoid damage. I know because I did and witnessed others do so.
Last, even if the repair guy gets back into the tank, you've forced him to stop his repair. That's a positive most of the time because there's a good chance the tank remains low on health and vulnerable.
If there's a teammate in the vicinity and if the enemy doesn't point its turret at you and/or teammate and blow them away. Far and away the more desirable result is to have the driver dead or force them to abandon the position and retreat.

How you've managed to incorporate esports into this is a marvel of the human imagination. I cannot properly convey in words how diametrically opposed your post is to anything resembling proper logical reasoning. It is deeply disturbing both for your hyper sensitivity to length of these animations which unless you spend your entire time in game entering and exiting vehicles, amounts to a negligible and miniscule fraction of gameplay time and for your utter lack of empathy for the players on the other side of the interaction. I should note that a consistent lack of empathy and disregard for others can be signs of a personality disorder.
Posts like the one I am responding to are a detriment to the Battlefield community and do great harm. It's one thing to post an opinion but entirely another to put up regressive content at such an absurdly low quality level as to insult a reasonable person. I urge you to take a week or maybe even a month off to consider the implications of your post recognize the complete lack of value in it and come back only when you are prepared never to repeat this mistake.
I wish you a healthy, speedy and enjoyable forum vacation! 🙌
