Missed this post somehow. If/when you do redo vehicles can you please break them into components. If you have the windows animate for instance allow them to be destroyed and other parts. I was really hoping to see something like this in PS2 to make aiming certain weapons in certain places important. Not just aircraft, like the engines and windows, but a tank with sidegrades on the outside or weakpoints that can be individually targetted. Same for say a sunderer's ams sidegrade. I digress as this was all mentioned years ago.
