I already attempt to do that in BC2, but its not very effective.......I also wish they would implement some system where when you get shot, your aim is effected in some way or another. I hate putting 3 rounds into a wookie, while he sits there and shrugs off the bullets and pops me in the head a millisecond before he should be dead.

I disagree about flinch. Flinch adds a metaphorical dice roll to firefights and takes control away from the player. Stuff like that has no place in an FPS like Battlefield.

Yeah I heard in an interview that if you get any vehicle below a certain amount of health it becomes "disabled" and can no longer move giving the people inside a chance to bail. Guns and such will still work on it though.

They more or less said it's to prevent vehicles from becoming deathtraps like the vodnik or humvee. It will still be possible to instakill just harder...let's say for random example the disabled threshold is anything below 30% gets disabled and lets say a rocket does 40 damage against a tank or something. So 2 rockets will disable the tank and a 3rd will finish it off but the people inside will probably have bailed so no kills for you. If you want to instakill the thing you'd have to get the tank down around 35% or what have you. Just close enough to the threshold that you can take it out with one hit while it's still operational.

Also engineers can repair a "disabled" vehicle back to working status. The auto-heal on vehicles won't get it working again nor does it permit a vehicle to fully regain all of their health. Only engineers can repair back to full health

edit: damn it ante beat me to it!
