To all those that think this is a bad idea or wont work. Let me tell you I drove tanks in Planetside 1 for 5 years this way!. It works amazing and totally kills the solo kill whores out there. It's one of the main reasons I'm not interested in PS2 at all.
I don't oppose this idea at all, but suggest a few changes to it. In PS1 the driver controlled a much smaller AI/AV weapon in the front that was fixed. Granted this was only on one factions tank, but I think it's a good idea. It was handy for pointing out targets to your gunner if nothing else, as it wasn't too effiicient at killing. This said I'd be quite happy without it, anything that promotes more teamwork is a major plus point.
One thing that needs implementing before this, is some sort of locking system for vehicles. This NEEDS implementing irrelevant quite frankly. As it stands, there's absolutely nothing from stopping people from stealing vehicles worth 3 mill isk or just hopping in to steal assists from you, when you could have a guy on comms instead.
For this to come into place you could swap control of the main turret to the one on the front or failing this, fit some sort of spotting module for the tank driver, at least that way even without comms his gunners will know where the nearest threat is. |

i agree. any way when i bought my tank-wich blew up 30 secs after drop in btw-i was trying to drive and shoot at the same time and failed completely. if they do implement this system i hope they make the main gun quicker to turn.
Pretty sure there's already fast turning variants in game. They are very power hungry however.
Although with the bugged skills not working at the minute, your very limited as to what you can fit on your tanks power and CPU wise. It's certainly not like last build, now you really have to make choices as the power just isn't there. |

This topic is pretty null and void now it seems. What's the point in creating well thought out and decent suggestions for alternatives if all we get is a cheap and nasty fix?.
I liked this idea a lot, but CCP think it's better to appease whiners it seems. At this early stage in a games life the fact that the devs are already pandering to a whiny player base is more than a little worrying frankly. |
