1) Limit the Driver's perspective to the Front Gun View.
2) Move Front Gun and place above the current position and controlled by another player.
3) Detach Primary gun from Control of the Driver permanently.
Every other vehicle requires a team to operate it to full capacity. Fair enough, the HAV needs 2 more to be at it's peak, it is still extremely effective with just the 'Tank Commander' in it. Driver should drive, gunners should gun.
This isn't about nerfing Tanks... far from it, as Nova pointed out, it would actually increase their combat effectiveness. However it's about removing the ability to solo in a Tank and completely anhilate opposing infantry, tanks, and even dropships if they fly too low (granted they're silly if the come down near a tank).
If the focus of the game is on working as a team... then a Team should be required to operate the largest, most deadly thing on the ground in DUST 514.
ALSO!!!!! and I CANNOT stress this enough...
Give the LAV another Passenger seat! With current 4 man Squads, the Dropship is the ONLY vehicle capable of carrying a full Squad. Even then, they're designed to have 3 'Crew' and 4 Passengers (ie another Squad). Tanks are 3 man... (if the above is implemented they'll be 4, but give LAVs another Passenger seat. Centre position, right behind the 2 front seats.
Sincerely. The Black Jackal.
PS: I don't drive tanks, yet I posted this suggestion! I prefer LAVs. |

TBH i would like a HAV which is a squad tank 4 seats 1 driver 3 guns
This idea i wouldnt use tbh I've suggested a 4-man tank myself more than once, but the argument is always that the cost of the vehicle means that the driver should be able to get kills with it.
I've seen those arguments... they tend to forget that Dropship pilots ALSO spend juist as much and cannot get kills with them without a team. LAV drivers, though expending lesss ISK, also cannot get kills without team. So why should there be (currently) 1 vehicle that, realistically, shouldn't have a gun operated by the driver.
