With this it would increase them being used more often and would give defenders more motivation to defend the objective of that battle. The acceptable area could be decrease by 10-20m instead of the regular 50m its at

Yes and no. For this to happen, grey zones will likely need a rework, as pushing an APC 30m up to the objective is quite easily accessible for the enemy team. It also depends on the individual map. I’m not sure many people would be too impressed with the grey zone starting right on the edge of the objective.
Some maps with a lot of cover would be an advantage, as it would be a feasible option to hide them up further. Other maps, with less coverage, wouldn’t really benefit, as the APCs would still have to hide behind a hill or something, which could be anywhere from 60m to 90m away.
And if APCs get this buff, shouldn’t rally points too?

They could make rally points build faster if anything but I only suggested this because some ares are like 2m into the point and and I end up wasting time reversing the APC.
Yeah the only thing that takes longer than a rally point is an MG nest. Rally points ideally should take the same amount of time as an ammo box to build. And they should probably reward the same amount of xp as the APCs do. It just seems fair, and it might encourage users to build them more.
I think the main reason most people use APCs instead of rallies is because they’re more exciting (you have to spawn 200m in the back and drive up and find somewhere good enough to conceal one), unlike rallies where you just hop inside a building and swing a hammer for 5 seconds.
I feel like in general, for APCs and rallies, darkflow should add a red line or something on the map so that when you go to build a rally or place an APC somewhere, you know exactly where you can put it, without overshooting like 20m and taking 2 minutes to reverse back while under tank fire.

I actually like the 50m limit we have. It’s close but not too close to get easily spotted yet be effective right around the corner. And in many occasions it allows you to be closer than engineer-built rallies, so it’s already a plus. On the other hand, I wish AI could spawn in APCs same way it does on rallies, and not just for players. We’ve all had a situation in which we find the perfect spot to deploy troops en masse to capture/defend during a crucial moment, and teammates decide to not spawn on the APC. Meanwhile, AI are better at capping points in many situations as they’re more consistent in that regard.
Of course, It would be good it we could toggle it on or off, for those who prefer it the old way.
A red line fort what ? You have the distance between you and the objectiv all time. You just need to look him et when you are at 65 meters you can find a nice spot to park him.
Maybe for some map with multiple objectif is not quiet clear
