Currently the tank can fit 3ppl inside with each controling a gun
With this change would the tank become a 4man operation?
Also would the driver get anything extra ie mod wise plus having a pilot dropsuit the bonuses should defo help him when driving
Would the tank get an increase in HP because it now carrys and shields 4ppl from harm
PG/CPU increase? that air con takes quite a bit up
Will the tank be slower because it has 4ppl in it? |

infact there's a couple of very good modules set ups out that meaning some tanks even need a whole squad to focus fire and take them down.
Solo'd a few tanks in a basic AV setup including a proto tank
Way too easy atm |

Will the tank be slower because it has 4ppl in it? Tanks need buffing back up to tank status, so cranking up armour and shielding would be a good start. Make tanks a four man operation. Driver, Turret operator, and two blaster gunners. Gunners focus on doing the job and the driver gets them there, while keeping them safe.
Let's make it a proper weapons platform again, but a definite support role and that takes a manpower investment. No lone-wolfing drivers just aiming to kill everything. Make them require a functional team to operate properly.
The current turret changes have required drivers to have gunners which is a good thing, turret turn rate needs to be put back, so does the resists also because with the AV buff its more paper than tank now when 1 AV can solo a tank including gunners
Would you consider that the 4man tank be a completely new tank so that you can have a choice between being a driver/gunner and not just a driver so it actually opens up more options and hopefully more skills for drivers and gunners |

How many run proto AV tho like in the last build
The ISK and SP gain has been put to what it will be at release and its stopped ppl skilling it up quickly and the ISK hike means ppl aint going to go heavy AV all proto and lose it because milita assualt guys with milita crap just nailed him before he got a chance to even see the tank
Plus alot are staying in milita or basic stuff because of the ISK
Last build a proto tank against proto AV had a battle tbh but because ppl use less proto AV now and add in the AV nerf Tanks seemed espc OP |

I'm advocating a massive buff to tanks, and pitching the idea that to get full potential out of that tank, you just need a dedicated team to run. it. No more weak as **** tanks, and no more one man insta-wins. An actual tank. One that has great presence and can win you a battle, but needs a dedicated crew to win.
I Would not be against having tanks as tough as before the nerf if there was a driver and 3 gunners but the gunners must all be in first person vew whith only the driver able to see 3rd person
Missile turrets are already in FPS mode anyways i think |

Because in the majority of FPS games its only ever been infantry based
People hate vehicles in a shooter |

That is EXACTLY why so many tankers and pilots are going mad. Someone I know has 18 million SP in Tanks. That's all. Does he have lvl1 swarm launcher? AV nades? No. It's not been a problem for him until now.
By all means specialise, but if the enemy has a counter for you, you'll need to switch up what you are doing. Infantry are more adaptable than any vehicle. Because you aren't going to waste your tank once you've called it in. Good old infantry can just die and change class. Or suicide and change class. Or if you REALLY don't want to die, you can run over to a supply depot. It's why people shouldn't call vehicles in at the start of a game... You shouldn't finish the game with it.
Adapt or die vs RUN AWAY THEY HAVE 1337 FORGEGUNNERS.

BF3 is shite and has been turned to call of field 3 because AV got a buff and half if not all the vehicles have been given big nerfs and all vehicles are like paper anyways
