Please tell me a single tank in existence that can be operated by a single pilot...lmfao.
I love how tank drivers are up in arms, when really Dropships are the ones that got shafted here, and they're fairly quiet. |

As soon as you show me your laser rifles, dropships, and heavy dropsuit wardrobe. Also, I'm an LAV driver, so your point is invalid.
How the kitten is my point invalid, just because it doesn't pertain to you? And here I was thinking you were one of the more intelligent posters here smfh. The point is, why do tank drivers get to be solo heroes while EVERYONE else needs teamwork? God forbid tank drivers needed some skill and coordination to dominate the field, right? |

Actually they aren't, they all have full crews, the capsuleer just controls the main operations while the crew handles all the other random ****. We aren't capsuleers, we don't get in pods, considering a pod is roughly the size of a small tank. |

Someone doesn't understand their lore, Titans have an ABSURD amount of crew, multiple cities worth. |

Either way the pilot control MULTIPLE guns and subsystems.
You can't just try and twist lore to rationalize away game balance. Everyone else needs either good teamwork or lots of skill, except for tank drivers. It's about time they drink the damn coolaid too. |

You don't fly dropships very often, do you?

I'm sorry, Icy Tiger, but I have to disagree with you. The prices should not be lowered at all. As for the suggestion of making the operator soley the driver instead of driver/operator and tank gunner all-in-one -- I find that to be somewhat promising. You do not necessarily see operators and commanders piloting or gunning their own tanks. So why not now? This is why most tanks have a crew of four members. Maybe this should be looked into and tested as a plausible solution. People will complain naturally over any and everything, but it does not mean it was not best, or what was good for the whole.
Omg you just made me realize, with this change, a full squad could fit into a tank ^_^ |

Kind of like coordinating between your driver and your gunner? Tank drivers are just TERRIFIED of playing more of a support role, instead of playing superman.

Which is why I said that you can't operate a tank without friends, which means that no friends = wasted SP = waste of time.
So you're admitting that you just want tanks to be able to solo everything? |

No. I am admitting that anything shouldn't be able to solo a tank.
By saying that if you needed another crew member, you wouldn't drive them? |
