I remember in closed beta, there was a discussion about the main gun on a tank being operated independent of the driver...
I also remember it got shot down because a key part of the balance for tanks is their reliance on the main turret's facing being the same as the tank's facing. It's difficult - impossible for most - to navigate the map while facing too far off your directon of travel. This reliance on the driver's facing leaves tanks with certain "blind spots" in which they can't shoot effectively while moving. If you separate the turret from the driver, you remove these blind spots, and in turn remove any chance that AV infantry have to reach effective firing positions.
(yes, this is similar to Charlotte O'Dell's comment at the top of this page, and +1 to her) |

Because of how much fun it is to sidestep your LAV and shoot you in the face with my Shotgun...
...well, maybe not YOU, but I've done it to other people, and it's always satisfying. I think I've only seen your LAV at long range while I have a Swarm Launcher. |

Next; AV should require teamwork. Already implemented. Next: Posting should require thinking.
If you want to be serious, BOTH sides require teamwork.
A smart player can keep a tank alive without help from their teammates, but they won't achieve much, if anything for their team without help. A smart AV player can solo a lower-tier tank, but only if their teammates keep the infantry at bay.
AV requires teamwork unless the tank is bad. Tanks require teamwork unless THE ENTIRE ENEMY TEAM is bad. |
