If you've played a round of Battlefield 3 with a competent team, then you will have probably encountered
that helicopter/AMTRAC driver. The one teammate who is always the reliable spawnpoint and provides an effective way for gunners to rack up kills. Battlefield 3 gamers have made it clear to the developers that kill assists are way to low; that drivers/pilots should earn more, given their critical role on the battlefield. Fredrik Thylander of DICE confirmed on
twitter that driver kill assists will be increased, to 50 points per assist.
