if they dont make lock keys then i have an idea!  Why don't they just make a "mates jump out of yer tank" key so you just press it and all yer mates jump out, but then they just jump in again and you press the funny button again and take it yourself, and this wuld help the GET OUT OF MY TANK BECAUSE I WANNA BE GUNNER stuff!

as for me, i can't think of a recent game i've played in where somebody stole my tank. maybe i've just been lucky i don't know, but i really do think there's a time limit on it to allow the owner to get in the vehicle. but even when i've been repairing i haven't had a problem. of course, now that i've said that, it'll happen my next game.. lol

so many of you morons are getting out of your tanks to repair them this really upsets me for 2 reasons
1) as an engineer i get no points for repairing a empty vehicle and neither does my team in a game where high score wins most of the time
2) i get so tired of having to destroy vehicles stolen by the other team when some newbie moron gets out to repair in the middle of open field with enemy 2 steps awaySTAY IN YOUR TANKS MORONS!!! BETTER TO HAVE IT DESTROYED THAN TAKEN BY THE OTHER TEAM!!!

Just a few thoughts
yeah, you should park it, get '' ejected' automatically, however, your tank will be repaired faster then by techs AND WITHOUT THE CHANCE OF GETTING IT STOLEN.
another alternative is off course make it lake mission 4 in the campaign, drive the tank on a elevator, then it goes down, from which engineers/techs have a safe place to work, for mp games, i think it should do without the elevator.
of course, the disadvantage is that if the structure is destroyed, so will the vehicle getting epairs will be

I also agree with a service bay. I don't have a problem with the opposite team stealing my vehicle but with my own team members. Normally I have enough credits to buy another one but that's not really the point. lol... last night I stopped my tank to repair another guys tank and when I turned around my tank was gone. I was standing right next to it (never even heard it drive away -- not that I could have done anything at that point). Or instead of the service bay they could program something in where you can't take another team members vehicle unless it's been "abandoned"... like sitting without anyone in it for 2 minutes. The only exception would be if more than one member was in it then the last one to stay in it (regardless of who it belonged to) becomes the owner.

To those of you yelling "I need repair" without ever telling the engineers your position, please do so. We are tired from running around, searching high and low only to (in the end) find you in our own base while the rest who really needs us are attacking the enemy base. Even better: I would like to be pointed to that unit´s position without them having to type it during a fight. What´s the point of having to search when you have radar and everything, this is not a simulation after all.

I repair tanks most the time when I'm not sniping so I'm one of the good guys . I've had my tank stolen once and it was really annoying, people will steal them, drive off and die without killing anything. WTH is with that? Now though I may go in with a tank (mammoth or stealth) and blow stuff up till I get enough points then switch to a sniper for fun. I'll drop my tank by the base entrance and say 'free tank'. Funny thing is it takes a tank 10 min to disappear because everyone is suspicous about some idiot leaving a 900/1500 tank sitting there .

btw, whoever said that you shouldn't repair your own tanks because it doesn't give you points should really reconsider their point of view. Fixing vechs doesn't net as much points as destroying buildings and other tanks. If you can fix your vech for 0 points, and get out and make more by shooting up the harvester, it's all good.

When I need repairs I dont start shouting it till I see an engy. If your in a light tank on a public game the opposing force tend to be too dumb to hit you. So you can last for ages. If in doubt, get the hell out.

I know what you mean by teammates stealing a tank after you buy it. I remember one moron who stole my Mammoth that cost me 1500. When I asked why he did not buy his own tank, he use foul language on me. The moron lost the tank soon after. My orginal purpose for the Mammoth was for Base Defense, because I had no Mammoth our base was overrun by several Nod Flame Tanks.  (No one on the GDI side were teamplayers) I would not mind a Repair Bay, but if WW puts in a Repair Bay make it like a super tech and super fast.

I have tried it quite a few times when no-one wants to repair your tank and you jump out to repair it yourself. Then someone jumps in your tank and keeps calling that someone should repair the tank. And then drives into the sunset not caring about just wanting him to get out.
So now I never get out when others are close by the temptation seems to be too big for most people.
I have that happened to me a lot of times, including thoes players who do not know the value of teamwork. Now when I play and there are no engineers around and I know that there are no teamplayers I retreat to safty of Base and since have bought the Hotwire/Tech I repair my own tank before going into battle. I also do not mind enigeers riding with me in a tank, just as long as they do not try to operate the guns. (for some reason the Q key sometimes does not work) But my biggest peeve is moron engineers blocking a choke point when they get out of thier humvee or apc. 99\% of the time I just destroy them just to prove a point. (In the heat of combat do not get in my way ) A suggestion to engineers/hotwire/tech if you are going to follow a tanks or several tanks, do so in a APC but do not, I repeat do not get in front of them and always leave a driver in the APC. (This spells Teamwork) Enough ranting for now......

ya this is really angering me, I am a engineer coz i no ppl are off doin there thing and I have learned that most ppl will repair u but there off reapir guard tower or barracks. So if you wanna be reapired do it yourself, but, I dont like to do this coz ppl steal my tank..
I am duckin down behind it so i dont get shot by a sniper... or i go to change to a engineer and when i come back out to repair my tank, I see that fool driving away with my tank.. And just tonite, friggin nod were throwin flame tanks at us and i pulled back to repair, so start to repair it and then duk down behind my tank coz of the snipers and sum fool steals my Mammoth tank, I get in and tell the guy GET out this is my TANK, but he keeps on drivin, so i look at my credits and i have 3000+ credits. I look back to see that fool fight 2 flamers and boom explodes, waste of a tank, so i go running like hell back to GDI WF and get me another tank.. i can see ppl sharin tanks, I give ppl my tanks, or if they ask ill give it to them, but its the ppl that dont bother tryin to share that ****es me off.. Yes service bay I hope they put that in the next patch or im gonna raise sum hell... lol thx for reading
