Roads

I am not sure how possible this is (although I do know there are map entities that can slow down ground vehicles, I'm not sure how you can boost their speed)

I would, both for realism and gameplay's sake, like to see ground vehicles travel faster when they are on roads. Such a difference would obviously affect some vehicles more than others in real life, yet again I'm not sure if/how in depth such a feature could be implemented. If it hasn't been looked in to, I'd say it's definitely worth doing so.

It would add a whole new dimension of gameplay (teams would want to hold control of roads), be more realistic, and allow players to get into the action quicker.

It's not hardcoded (I quess) since light vehicles slow down [very] much when they drive trough low water. Like on Zatar.

It would be very nice to see imo.

Agreed

yeah yeah...

im an experienced cyclist, and i know MORE than most that jumping onto a road gives you insta speed. when you hop back onto almost any other surface, other than rock, you slow wayy down. especially things like sand, mud, grass, and water. even dirt trails are slower.

and MAKE THE HUMVEE FASTER
IRL those things have a TS of like 80 mph.

The top speed for an up-armored Humvee is 62 mph going down a hill and with the wind towards your back!

The ones we have now aren't technically "up-armored"

More like "Lets strip off any and all kinds of armor so it looks cooler and more appealing"

Agree with OP.

I want to know if it's possible to implement.

Can we talk less about hummers please?

ArmA did a pretty good job with this, most of the fights would occur near roads because of this.
