Nanobots, or very small flying robots. It'd be stupid to limit the situational awareness of your tankers wouldn't it?

Would the tank then be able to seat four or would it have to give up a turret?

So a greater manpower commitment and a more attractive target in exchange for a feature that is (supposedly but not necessarily) a buff for organized teams and a nerf for unorganized ones? This would mean that a squad of four couldn't roll in four tanks anymore and could only really run two tanks (is this intended?). It would also mean that any random who jumped in your tank before your buddy could massively gimp your performance due to a lack of skills and no comms (which is true for dropships but I don't think they are being designed with the same priorities).

With reference to your comparison to dropships. I think that the job breakdown may have more to do with the difference between combat and troop transport roles.

I would be interested to know if tank drivers would consider having two people split these responsibilities would be a buff at all.
Communication delays versus multitasking may make this a nerf even for good teams.

From a practical standpoint I can't see this working without at least the ability to kick or rearrange passengers due to the fact that good communication won't stop people from jumping in your tank and stopping you from teaming up. While I'm intrigued by the idea of vehicles that require crews rather than pilots, so to speak, I'm also concerned that removing a role that many players find rewarding may be a little harsh.

stupidest idea i have ever heard tbqh.....
you even posted why it is a TERRIBLE idea..."Unable to see where you are going due to slow turret / camera turning speed."

so by seperating the driver from the main gun you expect to make the tank weaker...yea not gunna work that way.

1) will make shooting infantry much easier, since gunner can just spam the cannon instead of you know having to worry about watching where he is driving and avoiding obstacles. can focus on av infantry while not having to worry about backing into a hill and getting stuck.
2) yes let me train a ton of SP then spend 1.5mil to fit this tank that im not gunna get a kill with....geniussssss. seriously ppl train for a tank for a reason..to be able to fire the main gun and farm infantry...you dont like it train some AV and make the tank pop rather easy if you spend the points on swarms or forge instead of lolprotoweapons or iwinnades.
3) comparing it to TRANSPORT vehicles...tank is a COMBAT vehicle, meaning it is designed to have the driver SHOOTING the main gun.
4) boost speed modules..what?? so the tank will be faster, driver can just drive, gunner can just shoot, and the tank is more balanced this way

tanks are balanced more due to the driver having to go stationary to make accurate shots. take away the turret and a tank is never gunna stop driving. forge guns destroy tanks so easily because the tanks have to stop to turn since they are trying to shoot infantry AND drive. dont know how many i have made drive into a building or hill and get stuck so i can easily blow them up

lol clearly never driven a tank
tanks need gunners to survive aka teamwork
turrets trackin were nerfed
a sole tank will not realise its full potential
a tank with 2 gunners however aka using teamwork uses it to full potential
but im not about to sit here and discuss how we operate tank crews

so again the intent of this thread still fails as tanks do currently take teamwork
same way MTACs and Fighters and gunships will

yall seem to be under the delusion that u must have 2 ppl to operate it that that makes it take teamwork
which again proves my point that most of the ppl posting these suggestions are a bunch of pubstars with little competitive experience. In organised corp v corp play it will teamwork , fighters will have to coordinate with ground troops, gunships as well, tanks already need gunners to effectively work

understand the concept of teamwork and stop judging teamwork based on pub games with randomly organised teams ur never gonna get teamwork on any highscale there the way yall seem to imagine it will happen.

seperating the main gun from driver makes tanking easier, 2 corp mates can now run riot as the driver can just focus on driving and now the tank is MORE mobile as it will be moving AND shooting all the time

You will never sell your average gamer on the idea of spending millions of ISK and SP acquiring, fitting, and skilling into a vehicle, only to tell him that his only payoff for all that expenditure will be to move a slow, lumbering vehicle forward and backwards and turn while other people shoot guns and get kills and have a good time.

Honestly, you've all diverged into the realm of "doing it for the sake of doing it". What's the point? Is there even one anymore? Something nebulous about teamwork? All this work CCP would do, this inelegant solution that leaves nobody happy, and for essentially no reason.

The driver shouldn't have the primary turret on the tank. I think that's fairly obvious, but why should he have no turret at all? Just give him a secondary turret while the first gunner gets the primary one.

That way tank drivers need at least one other guy to be really effective (well, the driver is able to just switch seats, but then he would be stationary and random teammates can jump in and take the tank as well), but the driver will still be able to get kills and help his gunners out.
