I am not sure if we know exactly what reinforced armors piloting limitations are.

We do know that agile can pilot anything. Since reinforced can pilot some things, I would guess that a buggy would probebly be one of those things.

Yes, light vehicles like a buggy can likely be piloted by someone in Reinforced armor, if that armor can pilot anything at all. However, the heavier vehicles likely cannot be piloted by them, for the express reason that having a tank inside a tank tends to make for someone packing a bit too much firepower.

I have a feeling only the more open vehicles, like the harraser can be occupied by reinforced armor. Tho, now that I think about it, I don't remember seeing any pics of rein. armors inside vehicles, whether they be driver, passenger, or gunner.

Is this speculation or did I miss a dev update? (if I did mis a dev update, you wouldn't happen to know where I can find it?)

Reinforced armor can pilot/drive any "open" cockpit vehicles (like the various buggies), but can't drive "closed" cockpit vehicles.

Agile armor can pilot/drive anything.

Reinforced armor can be a gunner at any position on any vehicle.

I think that answers everything.

But how does that help if medium armors are able to gun and light armors can drive? So if you're blowing up a tank a medium armor gunning it can pop out and own your ass in a few shots. Isn't the purpose of having lights driving to not let that happen? I mean a medium with a jackhammer in an nc vanguard can just pop out at any time and take out the guys shooting it in 1 or 2 shots.

Tanks may be the exception, or better yet, the pilot is also the gunner on tanks, like BF1942.

I can relate to your concern, I can be pretty vicious hopping in and out of my own tank in BF1942 and it never seems quite fair. However, just limiting armor wouldn't help that much anyways, what PS really needs is vehicle enter/exit animations so that instead of just popping out crew would be realistically vulnerable for a couple seconds.

Wait a minute, PS already has enter/exit animations.

If there are a bunch of guys trying to take out the tank, the reinforced gunner should stay in and use the gun.

If he gets out, he is going to be targeted by everyone who was shooting at the tank and will die pretty quickly. While he is out, the gun won't be firing.

If one reinforced guy is able to get out of the tank, own your attacking force, get back in, and resume manning the tank's guns, then you didn't bring enough guys.
