DUST Search - [Idea] Tank Main Turret Gunner

Rack up #20,000 suggestions to force yet another freaking Blue Belle into a tank. Yes, this has been suggested many, many, way too freaking many times.

We finally got the useless Blue Belles out of the tank because we no longer have to have a small turret. Good thing too because they are horribly expensive for SP/PG/CPU. Much too expensive in proportion to the small damage totals they contribute.

Blue Belles lose tanks. They refuse to get out of the tank to recall it. They will steal the tank if you get out to try and get the main gun to work again. They do not care how much ISK you have in the tank, they all look like MLT gear to them. Now they waste ammunition as well, fabulous.

Blue Belles are a liability. Any Blue Belle within 40m of any Blue tank is a liability. Do Not Trust Blue Belles EVER.

Nobody would buy a tank, drop a tank or use a tank. So that would indeed be a game changer.

My personal feature request is the ability to kill any Blue Belle in my tank without penalty and without reason.

Push button, dead Blue Belles. Ah, that feels better.

Giving a merc that knows what he/she is doing a considerable advantage in survivability and firepower. People keep complaining and begging for Tank Nerfs, then AV Buffs, then Tank Buffs, then AV nerfs (and the cycle continues) Unfortunately any Tank nerfs would possibly render them useless death cans. and AV buffs or nerfs would mess with whatever balance there is. I propose this idea to possibly address this. CCP several times has stated that Dust is a game that requires teamwork for the most part. - Have the main turret on a tank require a squad member to aim and fire. That could potentially give squads some pause to spam tanks since every HAV will be a considerable investment on the battlefield that may or may not pay off. - It would also potentially change up the tactics a bit since not only would the tank require isk but it would require manpower. For every tank on the field is two mercs tied up in armor. Discuss, Hate, Like, Shred the idea. -Marcus -I don't always kill mercs with a sidearm, But when I do I use militia.

Not sure if trolling but i'll bite. Don't drop your tank until you are ready and you should be rid of most of those guys. the 10 second timer to keep blueberries out for your squad mates to get in helps. And only have a gunner you trust. Thus problem solved. Also, Welcome to the Eve universe. Where everyone is a potential thief . You gotta Adapt or die (in this case loose a tank). -Marcus -I don't always kill mercs with a sidearm, But when I do I use militia.
