We have fall damage in the game right? right. So why not tank driver and passenger damage. After watching the multiplayer the tanks seem to climb up and over things in buildings. There is no way you’re not banging your head or body around with out getting hurt. It’s some times ridiculous that the tank can keep bouncing around like a fish on dry land and no one is getting hurt. I think there should be a health penalty to each major bounce, jump, tank roll to the point if you do it too much you can die. This could help balance the OP of tanks where the drivers have to think about how they’re going to get there rather than jumping off an embankment, though a house and a barrel roll with no damage to the drive or passengers. Fall damage is in the game so why not this too? ---

I don’t think occupants should take damage from rattling around in the tank, but i do wonder if it is possible to shoot people out of some of the tanks. From what i saw, it looks like they are aiming without looking through any kind of screen, so in theory they are exposed, if only a little bit. Anyone got any thoughts on this? ---

I don’t see the issue. It appeared fall heights have been increased a bit. I saw at least 1 instance where someone dropped from a 8/10 foot height without taking damage. ---
