It would be great the be able to create unique gamepad and joystick control profiles that can be swapped in game.
This would provide customized controls for specific vehicles tailored to what you want to do (transport, combat) while retaining the fluidity of analog controls for driving, flying, and boating.
Currently the Xbox controller profile won't let you customize the controls unless you disable it and use the customizable profile. However, once customized you have to change the control scheme depending on what you want to drive/pilot.
For example, I currently have helicopter controls to use the left and right triggers as the pedals, left stick to control analog collective, and right stick to control pitch and roll.
Attacks are done by pressing the right bumper, Auto hover on (A), Weapon switch on (B), Eject on (Y), etc.
If I were to drive a vehicle later on, I would have preferred left stick to control forward, reverse, and turning, freeing the right stick for free look, turret, other things.
