    I'm neutral on this. All I can say is that if jeeps were free, I'd also remove wages.

    The problem is early jeep spam. You have to think of how to fix that before you make jeeps free. Research making them free is about the only way forward I can see there without some dumb timer or other variable. But who would waste the time, unless it was passive. Like tying advanced chassis to free jeeps.

    Jeeps dying and people living with half health is really dumb though.

    DONT MAKE JEEPS FREE

    jeeps are only useful always
    but when always jeeps are pretty cheap

    DONT MAKE JEEPS FREE

    ALSO MAKE IT SO WHEN YOU BAIL OUT OF A MOVING JEEP, YOU TAKE DAMAGE PROPORTIONAL TO THE SPEED OF THE JEEP

    noobs driving around for lols not doing anything productive
    even more pushing tanks around
    shitton of carcasses that block tank movement everywhere
    likely large amount of strain on pcs due to amount of objects

    and the list goes on

    Basically, free jeeps do nothing to help anything.

    That can actually be changed, but I think messing with weight can affect handling, which is probably why it hasn't happened yet. Still it is pretty great to push jeeps around like they aren't anything.

    Yeah, I think jeeps are close enough to free. It's a good happy medium between the rush problem that you mentioned and the lack of affordable transportation.

    Jeeps weigh as much as tanks. Actually, I think they might weigh slightly more now (thanks Obama Smithy).

    Tanks will eventually weigh more.

    Oh and it's also possible to damage jeeps (or any vehicle) more if they hit shit.

    I've been playing for many years. Never once have I seen jeep spam. Most of the time there are more artilery tanks than jeeps.

    Nobody uses jeeps, jeeps are instant death. Jeeps require a factory so they cannot be made until the VF is up. Secondly, most people will wait for APC before risking dying helplessly in a jeep.

    I never use a jeep because, it costs money and when the jeep dies, I die.

    Really, I should have made this thread, about if a jeep dies, the person spawns with half health at the exact spot. That change wont do much good most of the time, but it would make really fun early game.

    How about give the jeep free ammo?
    if a jeep dies, the person spawns with half health at the exact spot.
    double hp fo jeeps..

    noobs driving around for lols not doing anything productive ------------- BEST REASON TO ENABLE FREE JEEPS. NEW PLAYERS LOVE JEEPS.

    shitton of carcasses that block tank movement everywhere ----- GREAT IDEA ACTUALLY


    likely large amount of strain on pcs due to amount of objects------- NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. AS LONG AS KILLING A JEEP IS A FREE POINT---- JEEPS WILL ALWAYS BE FIRST TO DIE.

    Jeep rush is about spamming jeeps at the start of the match to basically kill the commander. Failing that they still get the base most likely. I just know the game will turn into who can win the initial jeep rush, making the other team have an even worse start then usual. That's bad.

    I really don't believe this nonsense of no one using jeeps. Don't cost nearly anything and gets you were you are going fast.

    People use jeeps all the time. Lots of different people use jeeps but the main reason is to drive it around and cause disruption and most often to convey shock troops directly into the heart of the enemy base. Letting a player survive on 50 health after the jeep is blown up would very much help that kind of incursion, and considering that there aren't great defences that people have to pass, I think it's not the best idea.

    You can use jeeps more. You have wages now. They are a personal resource that doesn't affect the team. You should have enough to buy jeep after jeep, actually. Unless you're just suiciding time and again.

    Lastly, there's no reason to have any free vehicles when you can run over people with them. 1 vehicle > 1 infantry while that's still possible.
