...to just drive your tank and have another person doing your job with the large turret?
I read this more than once, from either AV players and HAV drivers.
I can't believe HAV drivers want this.
Personally, if that would happen, I would insta-quit the game. I mean, seriously.

Fun-wise I propose we keep it as it is, it's no fun not in control of your HAV. Same for future vehicles I'd say. |

Why? It would actually be a serious buff for the vehicle, as it would allow it to engage in all directions while moving, thereby making it harder to destroy. |

I actually would not complain about a version of a HAV that is like that. Not all of them, but a dreadnought type class of one would be interesting. O'Dell posted an idea of one that while it might of been trolling would actually be interesting, a HAV that is extremely powerful and survivable but with the driving and turret control separated between two people. |

Separation of driver and main turret would be a hard nerf to casual players running vehicles, and an even harder buff to coordinated vehicle teams.
With the driver freed up to focus purely on driving, while the turret can aim anywhere without said driver losing track of where they're going, tanks will no longer have any form of blind spot, which has been a deliberate balancing mechanism within the game.
If you're not part of an organised Corp, you lose the ability to run your HAV solo, and that sucks. If you're part of a small Corp that doesn't really get to spend enough time together, you're losing the ability to run your HAV except in very restrictive scenarios. The only people who benefit are the hardest of hardcore players, and most of them are against the idea because it forces the owner of the tank to give up control of a primary aspect of why they own the tank in the first place. |

What's the difference, until we can kick people out of our vehicles? We just do not get to have the control we should.
I am not sure that "balancing" on tanks was called for, but i look forward tothe end of death taxis as a standard. |

No but I think its an option they should look at for future variants.
Imagine a Titan class tank thats 30% larger and slower, has separated operation, and some like 20-25k EHP when fully modded. It's not gonna be a sight all of the time but when you do see it, they will be a force to be reckoned with.
Sounds pretty cool to me! |

1. I don't want to depend on another player to have a working vehicle
2. I like to have full control of my vehicle
3. Shooting is at least 50% of the fun
4. I don't want to sound cheesy, but I'd like to kill someone or at least blow up something, driving my HAV, not just get passive WP.
I agree it would make HAV more efficient, but it would totally kill the fun for me. I would definitely quit tanking, and probably the whole game, since my SP are there.
I don't have the desire of starting DUST all over again to specialize into infantry. |

I have nothing against a particular HAV model requiring 2 people to work, as some of you say. But it should be a specialized tank. |

Personally I would love one but seeing how many don't, I guess it could be a completely separate tank class with maybe slightly less eHP for the added effectiveness. |

there is no reason to think that it could not be implemented on a per tank basis.
If i was in a squad with someone who (was on comms and) really really wanted to go gunner.... and they have skills into it... hells yeh do it.! I get to worry about the one important objective... keeping tank alive, he gets to call targets and AV... we both get WP and isk. Now add two small turret operators also on comms, and you'll have what i've only properly experienced once.... a mobile suppression platform 
My god it was sexy, all three turrets were like one big hammer of god, always facing the same direction and continuously firing at presented targets.... /nerfgasm ... oops typo .../nerdgasm!
but that is not quite the same... if i'd been dedicated driver with three gunners like that... i'd have not lost my tank to my giggling fit :D.. well probably i would've but if it happened more often i'd be more used to it....
I still feel like i have accomplished something if i have 3+ AV dedicated to taking me out. Just wish it wasn't forge gunners so often... but hard counters and all that :P
TLDR:
some tankers really just get off on using the tank for suppression, point control, cover for troops, mobile fear tactics. Having the option to concentrate on placement and movement without being tied into the Main turret is a buff to that role.

if they made it that way tank drivers would be the new dropship pilots.. lots of work for barley any pay because the person on the gun would get all the kills.. but if they made a version like Zdub said where it would be a ground based titan but you would lose control of your main turret.. well id use it but only with people in my corp/alliance. |

I have rarely ever seen an HAV pilot agree to this.
I say absolutely not, I did not skill into tanks for someone else to use them.
the small turrets I want gone. |

I've had a few games with good gunners. Is always awesome, I loves me some useful gunners. While I do hate the random blueberry who jumps in and spends the match shooting the at the MCC or not hacking objectives that I/we have just cleared. Lost a few tanks to the last kind. |
