Oh make it so....& I promise not to "prang" it...can you get "weaving" on it?

Well, we have an "Off Topic" section that's just begging to hear it!

Speaking of "American road skills" my brother was stationed at RAF Lakenheath for 3 years. We are both notoriously impatient. When he returned, he had the patience of a saint. I asked him what happened. He said," if you were stuck behind a lorry every morning on your way to work on a 2-lane road flanked with stone walls, you'd learn patience too."

On a serious note: I had suggested on banana forums implementing a playable convoy commander role, thinking it would limit seats taken up on line and provide some challenge for pilots as side missions (root them out or defend). Would have required ground AI improvement and an orders GIU if the commander was to have any real control (how to set a desitination and route. How to reroute if path blocked. When to take cover, and how to correct bad AI attempts. When to set up AA defense. When to cross an opening. How to refuel/perform preventive maintenance. How to deal with vehicle breakdowns).

Ok now that you've let the cat out of the bag, someone has to do this:

Whatever happened with this? There was a lot of talk awhile back about the ability to play vehicles, tanks and AA in order to help defend home airfields in MP, and yet every single CoD Blitz server does not allow "Take Control of Selected AI" in the realism settings. What gives?

Some maps, I think TWC and some others let you spawn in tanks using the regular spawn method.
