The intended role of an item doesn't change based on which game-mode you're in.

It does because if you need a gunner in PC to be useful, then you are not needed for that PC.

EDIT: Atiim, since when have you been CCP Rattati?

Then perhaps, you should get a different FC.

Because anyone who wouldn't want to field something with:

On-board Spawn Systems
On-board Scan Systems
Superior AV Capabilities
Superior AP Capabilities

While also being able to defend 2 objectives at once (on certain sockets), and can pretty much kill any ADS who lingers for too long clearly has no idea of how to be a tactical player, or simply doesn't want to stray from the meta.

As for being CCP Rattati, you don't need to be a DEV to relay something as obvious as this. Though if you'd like, go ahead and wait for him to come so he can say something along the lines of:

You also halve your mobility, drastically reduce the reas of the map you can access and are still incredibly vulnerable to ADS. Because no matter how many gunners you have you still can't aim up. And, of course, to fit all of those without compromising your tank means Madrugar, who has to compromise everything else to fill all his slots. And while the intended role of something may not change, its actual ability to perform that ability changes dramatically. Onboard spawns are slow, onboard scans are poor-quality and can't detect infiltrators, AV capabilities are only relevant against other HAVs and poor ADS pilots and your AP capabilities are duplicated by having a slayer next to you, who can now hack points and actually respond to separate threats. And (I'm rambling a bit here, I know) if I have a HAV specced for AV and you have one specced for all of those things you said, mine will kill yours and then take two people out of the game. I'm not certain I want to play under your FC if that's what he advocates. On-board spawns+scans+gunners equals a gimped fitting, btw. How will you fare against me? Especially when while your whole DPS is dedicated to me, I've a slayer in a scout suit running under your scans and capping your point. It would seem like wisdom, but for the warning in my heart...
