Recently added small turrets to my tank (adv rail in front, adv missile on top) and let me tell you, this is how tanks should be played. My large turret wrecks vehicles. The top one helps keep infantry (read: forges) off of me while I fall back to wait out my cooldowns. The front one supplements my railgun when I engage other vehicles (mainly militia tanks. Death to tank spam!) I have a set of eyes watching my back in case someone sneaks up on me. I have two infantry who can hop out and maneuver on forges/objectives/whatever the hell we need to kill.
CCP, please, don't smash tanks with the nerf bat. Rework large blasters as an AV turret, in whatever fashion you see fit, and that will eliminate a majority of the QQ here on the forums about tanks. I want to be king of AV in my tank, whatever turret I fit, and I want my infantry killing abilities to come from my two turrets and the people manning them. If I so choose to run without small turrets, then let me suffer the retribution of AV players who are no longer fleeing my gunners.
In this, tanks will be balanced. I want it to take 2-3 AV to kill me. But I want to be able to directly combat those AV if, and only if, I sacrifice my fit to run small turrets and find squadmates to man them.
Tank spammers beware. I am hunting you. And now, I'm bringing backup. 
Best PVE idea I've seen.

Teamwork for the win, however be careful with those missle turrets on top, I once had a blueberry jump in and make my HAV kill itself in a FW match. Like wtf son.

i honestly believe large turrets should ALL be more AV focused and balanced as AV, and be fairly weak against infantry as a whole.
the small turrets are the AI turrets and should be used accordingly so that we see more 2-3 man tanks. |

You can change the way the game plays, but you can't nerf THEM! 
Sometimes I miss never seeing tanks in a battle... then I remember the mystical flying soma, and I can't help but smile.

I will gladly put up with them until an actual vehicle lock is implemented (Ha!) but don't hurt my ability to hunt other vehicles because we are getting sick of large blasters killing infantry.

At least they have the decency of throwing RE on you instead of just torching you as the RDV lands when they see what kind of tank it is and its turret.

I went to play like that but hated having BBs staying in the tank while its on fire then take the wheel as im repairing it. then wham its gone and I just lost money. Plus I did not really find an fit I liked with turrets I kept running out of PG/CPU when I thought I found something I liked. If they would have an eject button I would look into doing it again.

Yeah on my alt I use a Fed maddy for a cheap fit and the small turrets are more hindrance than help like pulling up to a red CRU killing the reds then watch in amazement as the idiot who jumped into a small blaster turret tries to blow up the CRU instead of getting out and hacking it. The same with null cannons you and your gunners clear the area then they refuse to jump out to hack it and just sit there like lemons.
Small turrets are useful if you can communicate with the guys in there or if you know what they will do but you can guarantee if some random blue realizes you have small turrets they will follow you the entire game just to try and jump in and sit around doing nothing.

I have a blaster with ADV 20J Railguns on it. A team of three can do major work with that thing, including destroying other tanks like nothing.
HOWEVER! Why have 3 people in one tank, when you can have 3 people in 3 tanks?

I know but I find fitting the small turrets rather tough. If I had my SP back from infantry skills I would most likely commit them all to fitting optimsations and small turret skills......but unfortunately I am still waiting on the Amarr HAV and turrets before I make my choices.
