I'm pretty sure he's actually said that it is inspired by the Vietnam war.

I think a Kübelwagen or Schwimmwagen would be the coolest jeeps, there will always be re-skins, so that is fine

I'm fairly certain Ben said AoS is more inspired by Vietnam, anyways, which makes a little more sense, since that doesn't make any of the in-game items anachronisms (technically, the MP5 went into production before the end of the Vietnam War, although it was never used in Vietnam). Still, AoS isn't really a specific war. It's got a German G-43 and MP-5, a rather vague shotgun (someone correct me if they've found a definite inspiration for the shotgun), and what looks to be an American Mk. 2 grenade, which fails to fit any major conflict unless I'm greatly mistaken.
Besides, how can you add a jeep and not have it be a Willys?

Woops, read it wrong. Oh well, I guess.

Also; Jeepneys +1

beep beep i'm a jeep!

Jeepney gets my vote

"Jeeps were in WW1."

Nope. They weren't used in WW1. And anyway this game is not based on WW1 since MP5.

tl;dr

Jeeps were in WW1.

The Jeep wasn't used in World War 1, when Ace of Spades is supposed to be set.

Please, tell me when and show me where Ben said this.

Thanks, jackass.

Let's just hope Ben thinks about it.

Hmmm... The thing I don't get is That if new servers are created will the Jeep or car or... WHATEVER be spawned out of thin air? Or will you be able to Place it on the map?
FURTHER QUESTIONS
------------------------
If the ... LOCOMOTIVE get's destroyed will it respawn?

Just looked it up. The Jeep I THINK you are talking about, The "Willys MB US Army Jeep" was first produced in 1941. So I think you are thinking of the wrong period.

The Jeep wasn't used in World War 1, when Ace of Spades is supposed to be set, and neither were the RAF. They were known as the RFC.
But I DO like the idea of a vehicle we can drive about! :D

look, if you're going to have an infrastructure for a jeep then you've got to make land blocks stronger. As it is now, a griefer could easily dig out or blow up a road in about 5 seconds and then jeeps would be useless.

First we need a Navy and some air force :D
Now the RAF is something I would like.

this is a very good idea that i have thiought about since ben first said he might add vehicles, i agree with everything in the OP, but would like the ability to kill the players who are driving and riding the jeep too, so that if you didnt have grenades to hand or were using a sniper you could trap the jeep in your half, rendering it useless to the enemy :)

I hope ben adds a jeepney to the game.

Jeep should be added first, but i have to admit i don't like the idea of being able to shoot the driver. The ppl on the jeep should be killable, but not the driver. I don't know why, but it just sounds retardet. Also, destroying the vehicle should kill everyone on it, pretty obvius feature but should be added

Shameless BRRRRRAMP.

@Tyler

I know, but a man can dream goddammit!

@tonyantonio

Think of the jeep as more of a convertible. With all driver and passenger upper torsos and heads exposed, free to be shot at as if they were on the ground. Likewise, those riding in the jeep minus the driver will be able to shoot normally, it will just be harder to hit things due to the driver swerving all over the road. When someone is killed while riding in the jeep, their body just falls to the ground like it normally would. Nothing fancy.

No auto seat switching, that's just silly. If the driver gets shot out, it's up to a passenger to switch position (using the F1 key) and take over driving.

Yes, some sort of fall damage would have to be calculated. Perhaps based on the way player fall damage works.

This is all just my daydreaming here. I realize that we are a long way from having vehicles (if ever) in AOS. But hell, it's fun to speculate and come up with concepts that might or might not work. So that when Mr. Aksoy does find the time, he's already got some nice ideas already laid out.

Pulchritude as in this?

Or the other kind of pulchritude?

I want to run people over in the jeep.

The problem here, is, Ben aksoy only works in AoS in his spare time, making a update every few months . >.>

I would really like that it could carry most of the team actually, so the whole team isn't arguing
NOOOOOO ITS MY TURN TO GO FOR CAR RIDE GTFFOOOO

I'm gonna make a poll seeing what vehicles people would want.

Really doubt vehicles are gonna make it into AoS tho...

Also a car exsplosion is bigger badder and more lethal than a grenade so if you through agrenade at a jeep it will be worth it

It should be possible (but very hard) to snipe the rider or driver and kill him he will fall of the jeep and lay on the floor the driver has more coverage then the passengers,why?Because if you kill the driver the jeep will stop and in 10-5 seconds a new driver will be selected automatically if no one gets off and gets in the driver seat....so yah :) also if you fall from a far height it will get damaged a little alot or may explode automatically...oh and a one hoe ditch won't stop the jeep maby a 2 hole ditch but not a 1 hole...

I second the concept and the climbing concept!

I'm the real Mother here. Nice idea.

Yeah, smaller capacity would be better and help keep it a tactical asset.

No windshield. Too complex. This is war son!

I don't think vehicles are gonna happen in Ace of Spades, they'll have to wait for the sequel: "AoS II, Dig a Little Deeper"

But it's fun to think about how they'd work!

This:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:M60A1_Armored_Vehicle_Landing_Bridge.jpg

Also this, a one-man tankette:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankette
http://www.vernacularphotography.com/xmas03/tank.jpg

The first is a bridge-deploying vehicle, which fits in well with the military engineering aspect of AoS.

The second is a one-man mini-tank, which might look more natural while covering terrain and might make more sense for the way the game's played than a full-sized tank. (sort of like how mortars make more sense than full artrillery).

[I think any vehicle should be useable by any player who finds them, no matter what team they're on. And I think they should randomly spawn at randomly placed "vehicle spawn points", rather than be a reward for a good kill streak or something.]

Limit the capacity too 4, cause 6 at times is essentially the entire team (thats being usefull atleast) and allow the windhield to be broken and shot through.

Otherwise its great

/\ btw I like the pic
