This was requested before here:
LAV PASSENGER SHOOTING ABILITY.
(could not bump it cos it's locked...)
When you get to passenger seat (right beside the driver) on open chasis LAV (ex.: Baloch) the only option (beside changing seat or getting out) ...is watching... This is boring and waste of firepower imho... (Drive-by shooting anyone?  )
Please... allow use of merc's weapons/nades/equipement while taking this idle seat...
I've tried to bring up The Wheel with L2 to no avail :( I understand that it may be quite difficult to aim your weapon while vehicle jumps when off-road, so maybe some skill allowing this ability would come in handy?
Or maybe there is something like that already? If so what is it? How to unlock this possibility? |

From a purely game design focus, how often does anyone ever kill someone using their own infantry weapons while riding shotgun in any game? The passenger riding shotgun needs to be able to do something but I'm not sure that is the answer. |

Or allow the passenger access to the active modules that have been fitted. Your LAV coming under fire and you're busy evading, let your passenger activate the armor repper. |

I was ready to get behind this idea until you said that. Last thing I want to see is a Heavy drive-by.
But this could be awesome for Swarmers. Keeping them moving while locking on. Remember the Scarab fight in Halo 3. Would be awesome to utilize that kind of strategy. Could really counter those like to flee as soon s you drop their shields halfway. |

Secondary light weapon on a front mount operated by the passenger with a 30 to 45 degree arc of fire to the front of the LAV.
Even if the secondary is roughly equivalent in power to, say, an assault rifle, it still gives the passenger something to do - like drive by shootings. |

Maybe this could be an alternate option to the logistics LAV, it could be a Marauder class LAV.
It could even share the marauder skill with the HAV. I would also equip it with 2 turret slots, and a damage bonus to turrets per skill point. It would have the same amount of high/low slots as the current logistics class LAV's. |

Design them like the dune buggies special forces use. Crew serve up top and one down below that is front fire only or small arc as was stated. |

yeah, the SAS raiding jeeps from WWII had stupid numbers of machine guns. We're talking a Vickers HMG on the back and a double Vickers for the passenger. |

Maybe a whole new section of modules that can be attached to LAVs! Nothing as basic as super machine guns, but maybe something like advanced radar, mine detection, map overview (to help navigate and such), or a system that does let them use the active modules. Could even have modules in place that cause having a passenger to increase the overall abilities of an LAV just a bit something like;
Power Management System: Provides a +2% bonus to LAV speed, torque, shield recharge rate, and shield resistance
With stronger ones available of course. Nothing that the passenger has to actually do, just having one there gives a bonus. |

On the logistics LAV I would rather have my passenger help manage targeting for the repair modules. |

Sure definitely but how with that dash in the way? You'd need to hook your HMG to it somehow to be able to shoot. AR or MD would easily fit out the side but the Heavy is well big/fat. Have you ever watched a big guy reaching for his seatbelt in a car? Same idea, limited mobility for the Heavy. |

Also needs to be done for Drop ships aswell, Its stupid to have 2 guns and ( 4-6 seats? idk exactly ) and not be able to shoot from them,
That could also benifit the DS pilot as he could get assist points for every kill coming from passengers. |

Perhaps just make it the ability to use your secondary weapon while riding shotgun. |
