“Oh, im getting EMP’d? I think i’ll hop out of my tank so i can spend my 5 second animation getting out of the vehicle so the enemy can kill me anyway but steal the tank and spawn kill our team because no one could actually help TheFailedJester defend our one base.”

Same…if a tank is nearly destroyed then I’ll use to the end because I’d rather use it than letting an enemy use it against us plus jumping out usually leads to getting spam killed by BR.
MOST of the time people will try to steal the tank when the driver gets out. This is when I blow the tank up with a hijack. I lose the tank but I get a free kill and live as opposed to dying with it. Its really the only option unless you are suggesting everyone should die with their easily hijackable tank…

its very simple, if you are EMP’d, and can do nothing about it, any door leads in that moment to being hijacked, There have been many times I just get out my tank, kill the guy about to board me, and go on my way

a lot of players get EMP’d and then soon after, expect to be boarded, which traps you in the vehicle. there are times where I have gotten emp’d and hopped out because I didn’t want to be boarded and killed.

I agree, it’s like common sense, don’t stay in the vehicle
If it’s a 1 on 1 situation and you get hit with an EMP from far enough away there is plenty of time to get out and deal with them and get back into the vehicle. I’ve done it and seen it numerous times.
On the other hand if my vehicle is near the end of it’s life I will get out, let the enemy hop into it, then immediately board it and destroy it with them in it. That’s one of my favorites. lol
I don’t see how that’s a dumb strategy. You cannot move or defend yourself when you are EMP’d so the smart choice would be to get out and try to kill the attacker. If they take the tank then it’s you who kills them and a tank instead of them killing you and a tank. You survive and get the points put towards another REQ level and they are stuck in a loading menu for ten seconds. So what if you lost the tank? You’d have died with it if you stayed in it anyway.
I dont think there is one lone way to deal with getting emp’d. It depends on the situation every time. If the guy emp’s me from far away and I’m in a tank, “well good for you bud, I’m going to wait for this emp to wear off, then I’m going to shove one of these rounds through your face.” If he emp’s me from 10 feet away well then yea might as well jump out and try to defend yourself, and like some people say if they are stupid enough to get in you can easily board and destroy them in it.
Also depends on team mate placement as well. If I’m playing with friends and get emp’d I’m going to ask them to watch me so I dont get boarded. Also depends on the vehicle I’m in. Scorpion I’ll defend, warthog/mongoose? Take it, I dont care. I have like 30 anyways. You’re not going to get far before either myself or a teammate finds you and takes you out.

… yes, hop out so the enemy can shoot you while you’re stuck in animation, by the time you can shoot at the enemy, your shields are down,
and now the enemy has a free tank
every single time the enemy has hopped out, i have easily killed them, and i only get out if i have teammates… otherwise you’re completely stupid to get out when you have no backup
