Ability is fine, but relic suck at coding and tend to make lot of bugs.
It is the same like we should remove volks faust because it dissapear at vet4 instaed of fixing it.
Or remove british hmg because it had bugged vet1
We could continue, but I think it is always easier to remove unpleasant bugs instaed of balancing game around bugs and removing core features because of bugs
Actually i dont advocate a removal of core features AT ALL! If you read the OP carefully, all USF vehicles can still self repair, cap territory and crit repair.
Only 'feature' you're losing is vehicle vet swapping and 'crew thompsons'.
Mind you, I too would love if lelic actually fixed bugs but riddle me this: they've let the current bug go on for a week. This is the 3rd major game breaking bug to come out from usf crewing/decrewing mechanic.
Do you really think they won't introduce another hilarious bug next major patch from this feature? Then take super extra long to fix it? (Cruzz said this bug should take 4 lines of script to fix) If the devs were competent i would never have suggested this. This suggestion is more of a work around than anything else
