Have you ever noticed how the player either jumps out and rolls out of a moving vehicle or simply exits it slowly and calmly even if you are being chased or shot at? I love playing it in extreme difficulty, it renewed my interest in the game. But "realism" must be more consistent. I seriously doubt that if a professional soldier or merc, in the middle of a car chase that could end in a shoot-out, would exit the vehicle as clumsuly and as slowly as the player does. Not to mention how they must exit a car if they are already being shot at.
It has caused me more deaths that I can remember and it's extremely annoying. I pull over my car, exit it and the dumb player exits the vehicle with the same urgency as someone who has just returned home from work. It needs to be fixed. If you are being hunted or are already engaged on a firefight, the player needs to be quicker and more tactical when coming out of vehicles. Sometimes he even leaves a car and stands on the roof, in the middle of a firefight...

The only animation that's ever bothered me with vehicles is often times Nomad will do that awkward slow sideways shuffle if you're not perfectly lined up with the door when entering one.
In reading your post the scenario that came to mind was Tier One mode convoy tagging. Before I was aware of easier methods and prior to getting the Desert Tech HTI BDC, my go to way was to order the armored SUV, then ram one escort vehicle off the road. The enemies would get out, and my minigun guy would mop them up. Then I'd ram the cargo vehicle off the road and park in the SUV in such a way that it would shield me from the other escort vehicle.
However once you get a decent sniper rifle and large area Spotting ability, it's a lot easier just to land the heli on high ground about a mile ahead of a convoy, Spot the entire convoy, analyze the cargo vehicle with your binocs, then sync tag the driver. If you picked a good spot far out of view, the rest is an easy mop up with mortars and sync shots.
