Light Jeeps (and boats) would make the non city maps playable in IO.
The only reason people clamored for IO in the first place was because of the point imbalance in vehicle mode. Its no secret that the easiest way to get a high score is to use vehicles. Thats why BF2 has had the problem with TK ing for vehicles.
Several of the previous patches tried to remedy this by changing weapon damage valuelalalalapoints, ammo counts, etc. This resulted in other balance issues cropping up which lead to more tweaks, which lead to other issues......
But the real problem with vehicle mode is the SCORING. If aircraft only got points for killing other aircraft and armor, or if they only got a fraction of a point for killing infantry, do you think people would be lining up and teamkilling to fly the jets?
There were a few balance tweaks that needed to be made, but for the most part the balance issues that were addressed were in response to SCORE imbalances.
