I am beyond sick of chasing down tanks only for a swarm commando to pop out and dance behind his mobile cover. Pilots should pilot, this is getting absurd. If you want mobile AV as well, fit a turret, and bring someone with you. I think that the pilot suit should have the sentinel hitbox. why? because it should get a 3-second jetpack. + a damage bonus to AV grenades. Why would a suit designed for piloting vehicles, be getting bonuses that apply outside of a vehicle?
All teh Logicbomb!

It's a bit nonsensical to claim he wouldn't be able to stash a rifle or swarm launcher in his tank, it makes perfect sense. Why would anyone climb into a vehicle with just a sidearm.
I would very much instate it as a suit with bonuses for dedicated tankers, but still allow other suits which don't offer a performance buff to pilot vehicles Actually most cockpits are extremely cramped, and can only accommodate certain people. It's very simple to say that these futuristic vehicles require specialized interfacing built into dropsuits just to get the damn thing to power on and sync the computations between pilot and vehicle. Go watch the movie "FURY", then come back. Why would we give tankers less space in the future?
Think about it this way instead. You aren't giving tankers less space you are including very specific kinds of technologies to allow a pilot to himself alone manipulate specific modules, the main gun, and drive the tank itself.
Regardless there is too little lore to comment on the state of the tank's internals but I like to believe we use a much more simple and less invasion form of synaptic connections like capsuleers do.
Rather than submersing ourselves in Pod and becoming for all intents and purposes the tank I'd theorise we use a specific kind of technology that is more like a direct imput of the tanks systems into our transplants or brains. The result of this is a combination of ease of use alongside the ability to mentally activate certain systems.
This is why I see pilot suits a specifically useful suits that should ideally function in a small yet noticeable manner to adjust the basic vehicle statistics.
E.G- Pilot suits are not front-line combat suits and provide the pilot with only the bare minimum in personal defence technologies in favour of integrating specialised conductive materials that directly link the pilot to their vehicle. Additionally the suit features micro processors designed to trigger mnemonic information such as operational subroutines and to increase the efficiency of of the pilots mental processing power.

It should be worthwhile to use, offer a decent bonus.
Vehicles are supposed to be a playstyle in itself but currently it is not, anything a vehicle can do infantry can do better and adding a pilot suit now with nothing with it would not change anything apart from the jumping out of a vehicle with something useful. I agree. Pilot suits should add a bonus to vehicle use. Be it Turret Rotation speed for Tanks, or...whatever, for Dropships (couldn't think of one for DS, apologies) But it shouldn't be basic suits that "only" allow you to drive a vehicle. Which I don't think anyone here wants, nor is it likely that that's what'll happen. Every suit type out there get's certain bonuses, so why should Pilot suits be any different? I don't know for sure, but I highly doubt that Pilot suits would NOT get any bonuses. Turret rotation is a useless bonus. Shield regen or armor rep would be far, far more useful.
You are telling me you wouldn't like a tracking bonus for railguns or missiles?
Bro bro bro. What the ****?

He'll just remind you that he's god's gift to tanking and anything you saw is trumped by his throbbing girthy EXPERIENCE and then start spewing how you know nothing because he's personally never seen you in game. Honestly at this point it feels like the opening to Pinky and the Brain it's gotten so repetitive. But yeah, tracking on a speedy tank is freaking amazing up close.
Nah man did you hear about the time I wrecked three Falchions in a Soma?! Bruh u should hv cuz man it waz da bestest fing evuh!
