Cut Throttle Option?
Machiavelliest:

having a cut throttle key is as important as an autofire keybinding for a gunner while they can use the left mouse button.
its not usefull.

Those two are not the same at all. Especially since just clicking F or R continually does the opposite of cut the throttle.

(Side note, the space bar seems like it would be a great fit for that, but is a really weird default dismount key.)

That would be helpful special for the squid
Cutting the throttle and then drifting around ur enemy
Instead of pounding out your downshift key

Three clicks. Let's not get carried away.
And in any case, it's not a throttle so it doesn't need to act like one.

1 is better then 3 and if it's not a throttle then what is it

It's a chadburn or engine order telegraph.
Even if it was something similar to the accelerator pedal/lever in a car, it still wouldn't be a throttle. You can look up the definition of throttle to see why. Basically, if an engine is liquid fuelled the throttle is the physical valve that controls the fuel but not extending to anything connected to or controlling that valve. If it's a steam engine it would be the regulator.
All very pedantically geeky.. but I like the fact it's a chadburn. And it's prototypical that you should pass the indicator through all intervening quadrants as you set your chosen speed. I'd like it even better if it rung the bells on the way through..
