A really really difficult question. The perk system is immense and you unlock more as you go. From what I've seen there are no stupid perks like in CoD4, they all have a purpose to fit your playing style. All perks and unlocks are mostly tailored for your class though.
Each class has 6 tweaks. Primary weapon, secondary weapon, additional weapon, soldier perk1, soldier perk 2, vehicle perk. Then there is also class gadget that is not changeable.
Primary weapon is mainly class specific, Sniper rifle for Recons, LMG for Medic, SMGs for Engineer, assault rifles for Assault. Shotgun goes to more than one class though.
Secondary weapon, mainly pistols, as well as tracer gun for Engineer.
Additional weapon included C4 and mortar strike (air strike?) for snipers, C4 and grenade launchers for Assault, mines and RPGs for Engineer, and for Medic? I didn't check that one properly, Symonator did though. I guess defib, I was revived few times and it felt fantastic! You don't see lalalalalavived you though as you're facing opposite direction when are getting up for some reason. A bit unfair. But then you have to run for cover because if you don't you're brown bread again and possibly your Medic mate too
Perk 1 usually the weapon perk, like red dot scope or more ammo carrying or more hand grenades, better accuracy. Perk 2 is soldier perk, more health, become lighter and faster etc.
Vehicle perks I've seen were better armour, sensor radar, some other undefined perk that didn't have a name yet. The extra armour really worked though on my heavy. It could withstand many rockets providing you jump out and keep repairing it. But UAV can destroy a heavy tank with 1 hit. I think you call AC-130 for a missile strike(don't panic it is nicely balanced with long reloads) .
Non selectable gadget is also class specific. Drill for the Engineer, medpack for medic, ammo for assault, I suppose sensor for Recon, because it wasn't selectable on the screen but it was shown as unlocked. Didn't play Recon sorry.
As for vehicles, UAV was my favourite I can see a lot of TKs over it, but Friendly Fire was completely off, which was rather disappointing.
One thing I have to say is that Extra Ammo carrying perk is also available to Assault which kinda irrelevant as you can dish ammo packs anyway by default. I guess this all will be tweaked more after the BETA.
