Still trying to figure out the best configuration whether Madrugar or Gunnlogi for armored MCRUs although I'm leaning towards having both a mid range Gunnlogi with missiles or rail and a blaster Madrugar.
The paradropping lets you literally fly to all objectives on a map circling high in the sky to avoid most all AV and allows players to pick where they roughly want to land and yet I still don't get that many passengers. Not too mention you could load an entire squad into one and all drop on the same objective. It can't be any less safe then uplinks or CRUs given the amount of cloaking scouts these days so what gives?
On a Shield HAV I would never consider it since it reduces my Primary Tank........though if I was doing something thematically like rolling a black ops/sunderer style vehicle yeah it could work....... issue with my HAV is I like small turrets for my squad and what MCRU idiots think I am doing is recruiting gunners.
Nope.....not you who spawned into my vehicle ass hole hat 20GJ is for Aero over there, or Thal, or Ceej.

I'm not a true tanker lol (Bare minimum invested into vehicles to get standard levels) so I don't mind losing a high slot as I can reallocate the PG/CPU to a low slot (I only use basic/militia slots.) I probably will have one front blaster on my gunnlogi rail and one front rail on my blaster maddie but I probably won't have any guns on the missile tank. The MCRU on tanks is mostly useful for maps where I shift my tanks slightly diagonal and approach the domination objective for maximum cover to nearby infantry. I generally have been experimenting with a high orbit dropship and MCRU tank when in a domination map and a low orbit dropship that circles all objectives or a LAV that follows the skirmish battle line.
The only issue you have with that is your blue dots...won't identify or understand what you are doing and will run off willy nilly to have their guts smeared across the ground.
One of the most enjoyable and memorable moments of my time as a tanker was when a couple of corpies got pinned down attacking an objective and couldn't take it. They couldn't run either as the site was crawling with reds in great spots.
I basically got to roll up under fire from a turret and a swarm launcher and slowly, punching all of my modules and praying to Amarrian God, roll out screening them from enemy fire.

This game needs more moments like that in general. I used to think not having pub stompers around so much as so many quit would be a good thing but now... I don't understand what battle academy these blueberries went too but I shudder to think what's going on there. You must get huge points for not blowing yourself up with your own grenade in the battle academy these days... It's just painful how many matches I just get utterly screwed in because I do the typical thing of advancing to the objective/s and then suddenly realize my entire team is still in our red line. That's about 2 out of 3 games now. Not even getting proto stomped just getting owned by 16 MLT/STD suits all around me while my team picks its nose wandering around the map everywhere but the objective/s. I understand some are afk but a lot of them are just wondering around the map shooting at reds in the most pointless places.
Actually we got another one like that last weekend on the Communication Hub Map.
Ceej Mantis, Thal Vadam, and myself were crewing one of my Blapmobile 3 turret Gunnlogi's and noted that out infantry had been pushed out of the central complex and were down to holding their home letter and our home letter.
When we rolled up to the North gate of the complex we found the enemy mid way through digging in with Proximity Explosives and infantry rushing to meet us.
Not 3 seconds later we had a Dropship in the air with gunners raining missile down on the defenders, a three man LAV roll up, two disembarking and one manning the turret, probably another two infantry men, and our tank all stacked up and exchanging fire with the red dots who were in such solid cover we literally couldn't kill them until they tried to get shots off on the tank.
Honestly reminded me of that 2013 Trailer set in Intaki V.
The whole engagement lasted good five minutes before they brought in a Tank which was summarily Blapped off the field in less than three seconds by a little over 2000 DPS.

On a more fundamental psychological level I imagine its because it requires AVer to reduce their potential efficiency and rely on Infantry....... the very same people who literally show vehicle users a great amount of disdain and disregard......
