Apparently we need a new topic for the same suggestion because several identical topics are better than one but here it goes:
Continuing the discussion from Handbrake for APCs :
This is the cab of a Studebaker truck. See, it has a handbrake.
DarkFlow for God’s sake give APCs a handbrake!
Let us press shift or whatever and it engages the parking brake.
We should be able to park trucks on slopes/hills without them rolling backwards.
Even on flat ground I find APCs just wont stop even when Ive already slowed down. Usually my only option is to exit, run ahead or behind, crouch and try and use my soldier to slow it. (often to no avail).
There’s been times when Ive slowed the vehicle to idling but it just wont stop so it just slowly rolls and rolls and rolls down a hill and is gone.
This is an FPS not driving simulator. I see NO reason why we shouldnt be able to quickly drive up (likely under fire), park behind some cover and the vehicle actually bloody stops and stays.
We should NOT have to keep sliding back and forth to get the thing to stop, and as Ive said we should be able to stop on hills.
Adding a handbrake is very easy to do and it would be up to the player to engage it which I think is fine. Like real life if you stop on a slope and do not engage the handbrake then yeah it goes sliding back down but you should be able to stop that.
Give us hand brakes!
Don’t make APCs slide uncontrollably on sloped ground.

Not really we just need a fonction with a key we can assign to engage the handbrake and it should be implemanted on normal vehicles as well.

It could also allow for some controllable drifting around corners as well. I know the Puma is GREAT for drifting but it’s needed on APCs, cars, jeeps and those funny a** Italian buses in Tunisia. Beep beep

Oh yeah i didnt notice that typo. Thanks for telling me
