Easier solution to the problem of getting hijacked: don't repair in the freakin' field. SBHs are not the only risk- plenty of people lose their vehicles to ordinary, 100% visible characters all the time. Find a nice spot in your base where there is little activity, jump out, and start repairing. To be extra safe, jump in and out every few seconds.

With the number of vacant/stolen vehicles I've seen in wide open maps since I started playing again, I've been giving some thought to picking up my old policy of blowing up anything in the field with no driver. So far, just sitting next to whoever is repairing seems to help a bit. The number of people who will jump out when they KNOW there are multiple snipers and other enemy infantry around is, to say the least, mind-fuckingly amazing.
And people really, really need to get it through their heads that Nod is NOT immune to losing vehicles to theft. I've seen wa-a-a-ay too many 'jacked lights and flamers, even arties and stealth tanks...and I've stolen my share of them as well. If you aren't going to be careful with your vehicle, you ought not to buy it in the first place.

You can easily just shoot at the rock if you wanted to test for SBHs. Anywho I always repair my tank in the field. Just people don't always think of the best way of doing this. The majority of the renegade population sits outside his tank and repairs it till it's full. If you're going to repair your tank in the field, You should
1) repair about 100 dmg to it every time. [This way a sbh would have to be really close to be able to steal it (which you would be able to see if he was that close)]
2) If you need to repair to full the best spot for doing this on any maps like field or under is the tibfield, regardless if you're on the rock or not in Under. Even if SBH's try to get in you'll see them before they reach your tank (I usually still get back in every now and then just to check) You have 300 HP with a tech so that'll buy you a lot of time, eventually you can go back to base with your med tank if you have too low of health (or blow up your tank and kill yourself because if you lasted that long you probably have enough for more than 1 med.)
Oderint, dum metuant.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

Stealing NOD vehicles is a fav pasttime of mine, but I usually only do it on non-defense maps. Get a sniper, wait for the cargo plane to come as a signal, and snipe the customer. Cakewalk.

Funny to do, a right arse to be a victim of...
If the map's not big, I go back to base, otherwise I repair in field for a count of 3, move and repeat..
No flashy signature..

True, but if an sbh comes from behind, you wont see him.

Which are you pertaining to? Because if you're talking about repairing in the middle of the tibfield then unless you're standing absolutely still and looking like a zombie then yes, an sbh will steal your vehicle. If you're tlaking about the 100HP thing then the sbh would have to be almost exactly near you --> near enough that you would see him with your med.
