Vehicle recovery

Im agreeing with all the mechanical fixing stuff but if a vehicle is just stuck there might be chance that it can get itself out without the crew getting out, just rocking back and forth to climb the bank or shift some ground etc.

Bags not to be the one who gets out under fire to do repairs.

Agree but again game engine restrictions, differentiate between mine & say terrain or even diffrent types of causing it, mud stream stuck rough lost a track possibly. Also as another unit cannot assist needs a time restriction of say 3 turns. If you have not freed yourself by then you are probably in a worse position than you started in or maybe its just my driving. If you really want can build your own recovery vehicle, give it a carry cap of 255 (250 cant remember same as landing craft). This will only work if vehicle is still crewed & it actually picks it up so if destroyed lose both. Now if another vehicle in the same hex could interact with & push opens things up but would really need a formula to work out chance based on diffrence in weights tracked or wheeled etc.
The game sort of tries to cover the bases by making you drive slowly through sticking terrain so think of as that lost time was nearly stuck & stuck is stuck. Slightly botched because you might have lost the MP the previous turn driving upto but not on it.
