AI can be frustratingly dumb when it comes to controlling vehicles, to force them out by hitting space and jumping in the seat yourself would be a welcomed change.

hi and welcome!
It has been suggested more than once already and it is also planned. Be patient

Not to fuel another thread about this, but I can't remember where the last discussion ended on this topic. What I'd like to see is this option, but only if you are a higher rank than the AI in the driver's seat. Also, I know the battle taxi thing is coming (basically where you can ask the AI driver to stop to pick you up rather than drive right past or run over you). This would make the first suggestion less painful.

Who cares what rank the AI is? Humans should have precedence over AI in all cases for the sake of gameplay.

This guy knows what he's talking about.

No, you can't decide over a soldier with a higher rank. It's the same for squad members, you can't pick members of a squad of a higher rank soldier. Relatively low rank players might never be able to take control of a vehicle which might be an issue though.

Yeap, higher rank enables things, that's the idea. If you as a player want precedence over AI at all times, then just take precedence by starting with higher rank, simple. AI soldiers never spawn over 5000 XP, btw.

Low rank players never being able to take control of a vehicle isn't really an issue, as that should be going on right now in the game, and it's not.

It's also completely possible (and in my experience pretty common) to find vehicles that the AI isn't driving, so anyone can jump in those.

Rank should definitely have something to do with kicking AI out of vehicles. This game is at least semi-realistic in that only soldiers of lower rank will listen to anything you say. Why should commandeering a vehicle be any different?
