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.

good i think that you should also get a bonus that is noticeable if they spawn on you, say 25 points or 15
