Reliability?
Given that the medical interaction uses it for dead units, I imagine it's fine (testing supports that).
some might consider less realistic
Only some? What problem does this PR solve?
Only some?
Personally I don't care and as I don't want to speak for everyone, I used "some".
What problem does this PR solve?
It simplifies the function and make it more in line with the medical action's behaviour. The medical unload patient action uses moveOut for dead units, so I figured why not here too.
I think medical magic action should be more realistic then.
Personally, I'm against that, as I find it cumbersome.
Unifying the behaviour should the way forward, I imagine we can agree on that. I'd like to test if using moveOut or the more realistic method is better when it comes to avoiding ragroll carnage (which was the earliest intent of the PR) before making any changes.
Ragdoll carnage is still here when you just get in vehicle at dead body seat.
Unless you're pulling someone outta a vehicle turret or from a rear-loaded vehicle such as a troop truck or an APC, you most likely ain't going inside the vehicle anyway, so in that sense this is more realistic.
Personally don't really care if you go inside and back outside as part of the animation, but if it simplifies the code or improves performance or makes armaing less likely, then I'm all for it.

You shouldn't be able to do that, seat should be locked when unit goes uncon/is killed. Can you repro?
Also, a good middle ground for realism would be carrying the body when pulling it out, but we've seen how that went.
Personally I'm for this, the get in/out loop to pull out a body was more annoying than anything to me, especially when the vehicle is local to a laggy machine.
Now that carrying dead bodies is stable we can probably add a check for dragging loaded and use that after moveOut.
Otherwise, my opinion is the same.
