Is the eyehole a standard feature or do you have to pay extra for that? Seems like non of these scrubs can actually see anymore unless they wave a scanner anymore. I just ran into a tanker sitting in the back with a gunnlogi(random story but it relates to the same match where i noticed that people are blind) i run near it and see its a standard, so i decide to sneak up on it to do the flux n' re combo on it and some teamate shoots the tank with a swarm and the scrub(tanker i mean) backs up and he sees me,instead of just running away from my deadly pistol. He jumps out in a full sentinel ak.0 and mows me down before i start getting through his armour. Moral of the story is..... I forgot. Guess im ranting.

 Good observation, Maybe.
Sadly, there is a consequence to making Pub Contract play more "matchmaker-balanced" (GǪor some could argue, more "easy-mode" on players).
Back when Dust was Super-BRUTAL (so rough you couldn't move 12 paces on the map without clone blood spurting out of you from a sniper-round, or Lav frontwheel, or Rail-installation)GǪ you were FORCED to learn situation awareness. You literally couldn't spend any quality time in the match until you learned to pay attention to your surroundings. Players used to cry until they were able to develop enough S-A. It was the equivalent to a Drill Instructor you despised and feared, but he taught you what how to keep yourself and your people from getting killed in combat.
NowGǪ with these "softer", "gentler" Dust pub matches, you can finally have fun playing loose and free across the map, hardly targeted as frequently as you used to two years agoGǪ.[:ugh: but you are no longer pressured to learn a darn thing about S-A anymore!
I was caught in a 1-v-1 fight with a red HAV once, on this rocky cliffside road. I fought the HAV with just my two feet for 45 seconds.
I couldn't chase the HAV away, because I had used up all my AV grenades against him. But I couldn't run either, because staying close to him was the only way to avoid being effectively targeted by his main turret. You know the kind of fight I'm describing, like Gandalf and the Balrog.
Of course in the end of the fight, my finger got tired and I was killed.
GǪ.But I could then see on the overhead map, a Blue player was standing right THERE on the cliff 10 paces away from the fight I just had---with his back turned and looking the wrong way.  ! What's the matter with you? Didn't you hear the HAV's motor and hear my grenade blasts? Didn't you spot a red blob on your HUD radar, wiggling around RIGHT BEHIND YOU as you stooped there? Weren't you curious what that commotion was?
Yes,GǪ the wounded HAV eventually limped over to the clueless blue player after defeating me, and executed her as well. GǪI would have gladly done the same in the HAV player's place.
If a 70 lb Rottweiler stands there while you break into his owner's apartment and club the owner over the head and clean out the apartment of all the loot---before you leave, CLUB THE DOG over the head too, for just standing there and not knowing what to do.  Call itGǪ "Clueless Tax" that the dog has to pay.
Back in 2013, the "Tax" for being clueless on a Dust battlefield was much, much higher. I very much miss those days.

Could also be because the tanker doesn't give two ***** about a scout. We're not there to ruin the game for you.....we're thinking bigger. We want to ruin the game for everyone equally.

I don't think the poster even did anything to get the driver's attention. There's no reason to spin around looking for threats in all directions, especially when it's inconvenient to do so in a vehicle.
The OP didn't even talk about their title complaint. They just said that they saw this pilot and his tank it the match they were going to talk about.
The original poster's ADHD is showing.
Put your flags up in the sky.
And wave them side to side.

I think not. OP is clearly in charge of all of their faculties. HAV pilots are just souless douchbags whose only purpose for existing in the pathetic hive mind state they do is to ruin the days of hard working, freedom loving, god fearing Americans.

 Adamance, you crack me up! Thanks for the post. Too funny!
GǪ When you realize there are holes in the S-A or the "give me some help over here" mindset that your team ought to have in a game like this, there ARE some ways to try to address it.
Find a single buddy you can rely on, and "squad" only with her/him regularly. (yes, this requires some networking and socializing).
Watch some EVE Online player videos, and hear the amazing MIC coordination those players achieve---no SOCOM imitations or rubbish code words, just real folks communicating quickly and easily to each other. Then try to achieve that with your players in some of the matches. (even though I know it's hard for console players, I always try to endorse the MIC in this game).
Try the very risky and bold "This is Overwatch!" team commander routine, and try to suggest targets to the entire team during the entire match. (this is very difficult because the wrong kind of voice can sound annoyingly pushy to the anonymous players, instead of being helpful to them).

Not only is this authentic frontier tanker gibberish, but it proves a point!

Two solutions to scanning:
Active Profile Dampeners - We already have the code for this as it was applied to Cloaking Devices. You turn it on, you get a reduction to your profile for a limited time. This adds uncertainty to both sides of the Scanning game instead of just being a 100% 'you will be scanned' or a 100% 'you will not be scanned' sort of deal.
EWAR Grenade - Toss it, knocks out TacNET on the affected victims. All the scans in the world wouldn't matter.
10% of US schools no longer teach Cursive. A decade from now, 10% of the US isn't going to understand all the squiglies.
