You're probably the guy I heard the idea from lol.

But adamance threw in the idea of possibly just changing the large turrets to be more suited for anti-vehicle work instead of having an infantry hating blaster turret, it's pretty sound and I wouldn't mind this being the thing that stops tanks from being such a hugely powerful force against infantry at least. I am slightly disappointed that it seems like no-one wants to just be a vehicle driver and that people are more concerned with getting kills than things that could be tactically advantageous, and I think this stems from a lack of war point coverage for many tactical actions that would promote a win in the game and having everyone laud over their KDR because CCP likes to flaunt our stats on the leaderboards and really, after money and SP what is there? Fun? No that's absurd lol.

I could be purely a vehicle driver but honestly could you say all you want to do is spend your time positioning a tank while some other guy gets the kills and shoots the targets.

Frankly that doesn't sound enjoyable to me.

HAV Operation Like a LAV Good, well thought ideas are what DUST needs to thrive and stand out as something unique in a sea of FPS Mihi gravato Deus - "Let God lay the burden on me!"

Frankly that doesn't sound enjoyable to me. What I never understood was that this is how the LAV and std DS runs. The LAV is hit and run with the turret used to harass or defend and then the whole crew would jump out. Solo drivers have to switch seats. In the case of the DS the std variant can only be flown by the pilot if they are solo. Comrades must operate the turrets unless the DS is landed and then the pilot again has to switch seats. The ADS costs over $300,000 to provide a solo pilot the ability fire solo, so on the one hand (bear with me here) the HAV driver should have to pay the same for their hardware (don't roll your eyes yet) OR there will have to be changes in some way to reduce spam. I've read great stuff about alterations to turret types, large turrets being AV focused/small AI focused. None of these ideas are only a single players idea to turn the tide, they are the culmination of various threads and different ideas. Mihi gravato Deus - "Let God lay the burden on me!"

A single pilot, light(er) variant with fewer slots/stats that fills the role of a solo assault tank, then the larger HAV cousin is run by a team because it requires a team and is slower because it's bigger. Small tank could be hit and run or armoured up for sustained fighting. Mihi gravato Deus - "Let God lay the burden on me!"
