Ducking in vehicles (or: make suicidal soldiers want to live again!)

[wiresnsnakes 1]

Besides the missing shadows and textures and grass/clutter at higher distances (or alternatively the removing of grass everywhere) in combination with the stupid grasslayer (message: the grass you lieing on is flattened and so it doesnt cover you from units watching from a higher level, which is often cause: hills) and the drastical consequences for stealth and encounters at higher distances, I find one point that isnt realistic and pretty much let the game seem to be retarded, at least in vehicles.

Question:

If you are in an vehicle and your head and maybe upper torso is visible/hittable through glass or just air and your lowerbody and legs are hidden by the armored(!) hull of a vehicle or ship and enemys are shooting on you, what would be a reasonable reaction to save your archived comfort in life and the will to reach targets in your future existence?

Its to duck and use the hull to not be shoot (if you didnt thought about it please talk with people you trust and/or a therapist).

It Shouldnt be to much effort to implement this, if im right (am I?).

Besides the amazing(!) options you have to use cover outside, I think this is pretty important for gameplay and really fix situations where you just couldnt duck, cause a total simple thing you would do in reality isnt programmed.

I felt that i didnt have the control about my body, as I was shooted at in an Jeep and then just died.

One great moment of irony was, as I builded a mission in the editor and me and my fellow soldiers drove with a speedboat a bit from the coast till we got shot at (Im new to the series and often build scenarios I usually die in).

It seemed like a satire of american patriotism in warmovies, as no one of these brave soldiers ducked or left the boat and just took death like real men. I had the melody of the "flying valkyers" in my head and wasnt brave, but couldnt duck and got punished for my fear. It was funny, but not what I imagine from a milsim. Or a game in general.

[bTW: If you can do this and I just didnt find the button, please dont hit me]

I return to do stupid things with the editor and my "skills" to manage them.

Tldr: you wanna duck in vehicles? I agree.

[almanzo 144]

I agree, never thought of it but see how this could help

[Wolfstriked 11]

Armored vehicles will have "turn in" ability to duck into the vehicle and close the hatches.The boat though needs an ability to crouch in the drivers position.+1

Seems to work nicely enough in Battlefield (sorry), using crouch key. Though I think it would seem more natural if you could just be sitting down inside the vehicle until you're going into a hotzone.

Just one animation state needed for that crouched sitting for all soldiers. Can't see it being TOO hard to model . eh Smookie ?
