I'm a part-time Tanker. I'm both an Assaulter and a HAV pilot, so I understand both points of view...
...wait a minute, no!
There is no damn point in sitting in a HAV without doing anything besides being annoying! Why do people do that?
A tanker need the control of his/her own vehicle (I will use the male form for the rest of the post just for convenience, since women are rare in DUST) in order to operate effectively. If the pilot wants to recall his tank, he should be able to recall the tank! If the pilot wants the gunner out, he should be able to kick the gunner out!
Is it that hard to understand?
The only time when I jump in a blue tank is when I'm wounded and that is going to save my life. If the situation is stable, I'll jump out as soon as my shields are recharged, if there are too many enemies I wait for the tank to retreat or move away just a bit to get out and run for cover.
As for ANY other situation, there is absolutely no reason for me to sit in someone's tank, I'm much more effective as mobile infantry... there are just few opportunities for gunners to be useful.
I dream about a world where infantry and vehicles fight together. But unfortunately, it's just a dream.
Removing the HAV's small turrets it's a sad fix, but it will help tankers a lot (supposing the seats are going to be removed as well). It's sad because it's not going to improve the relationship between tankers and infantry, it will just prevent idiots from getting into the tank.
I would want to have useful teammates in my tank so much! People jumping out to kill swarmers and repairing my tank... oh my God, how awesome would that be? Unfortunately, that never happened to me. Seriously, never. Not even once.
So yes, removing my small turrets is going to be very sad, but I will.
Anyway, we need this holy "Vehicle lock toggle", so we can leave our small turrets for our actual squad mates by selecting "Squad only".
Heh, I know it's impossible, but it would be awesome for vehicle players to give some sort of legion of merit to people being useful vehicle-supporters and to make it visible in-game, so that we can recognize them as vehicle-friends and let them jump in our tanks. LOL.
Also, an emergency "eject" button would be AMAZING. Everyone is immediately kicked out and the vehicle gets locked, so the pilot can recall his crap. The pilot needs to be kicked as well or this could be a way to troll people leaving them in the redzone or dropping them in the middle of a gunfight. Lol |

I am a great gunner and I can be your mechanic tankers. All I ask is a decent turret and for you to not run off when I am repping your tank. Please don't be a D***. So with that said if I see you Char I will be your gunner, I can be AV or a mechanic your choice and that goes for all tankers.
