Vehicle Slot Sugg/Question - Does Bailing the Tank/Aircraft Lock Team Slot Still?

Hello,

I couldn’t seem to find anything out about this to verify. Does anyone know if you’re in a match and you bail your vehicle, and it gets destroyed, does your one soldier assaulting the objective as a pilot or tank commander keep the vehicle slot position locked away from your team? If it does keep the slot locked from your team until your squads entire death, I think it definitely needs to be shifted over to vehicle based. Otherwise there is no reason to bail out of a plane or tank unless it’s for fun at your teams expense rather than for competitive/practical purposes.

Yeah it does - you are still the attacker or fighter pilot/crew

No, it doesn’t matter. What matters is if your vehicle is destroyed or not. Your vehicle is blocking slot, crew is irrelevant. You can continue to fight with your crew/pilots and do not worry about blocking slots.

As Adamnpee has stated, it solely depends on your vehicle’s condition. So, in theory, it is possible for your entire team to be all Tanker Squads with 2 of your allies being inside tanks.

So no, you won’t be trolling if you decide that you are using your Squad to get kills instead of that super damaged tank or super underleveled tank. Heck if you know your team is kinda stacked vs the enemy and you decide to use the squad itself instead to level them up then bonus Gigachad points for ya.

Funny thing is, when the plane is destroyed, but the pilot is alive and fighting on the ground, in the scoretable you can see two pilots of the same type at once, which normally is impossible.

Saw 3 at once one time, I was one of them, my friend the other, one guy on the sky still.

It’s actually a bit confusing.
When I want to use an attacker plane for example, I dont know if it’s available if I already see an attacker pilot in my team.
While actually he is not using the attacker plane but he is downed and fighting on the ground as infantry.
So I have to look around to see if the attacker plane is actually in the air or not.
