don't know how much I like that "you can't get out of the tank" and "you live and breathe the tank, you die with the tank".
other then that the game looks incredible.
The reason they did that was because in RO1 people would frequently bail out of their tank a split second before it got blown up and then hide in the bushes in the capzone. Really gay, and completely unrealistic, not to mention annoying to the person who blew their tank up. On one map in particular a common practice was to rush your tank into the capzone, and then bail out in the tall grass. It'd be pretty much impossible for the enemy tanks to find you, and so you would cap it, despite being on foot with a pistol
There will be an option to "scuttle" your tank if you get tracked in the middle of nowhere or your gunsight gets f'ed, so you can't get "stuck" somewhere or something.
