The problems is that AVers have to use teamwork (best tactic is to cut off the HAVs retreat, and keep hammering it), while HAVs need no teamwork whatsoever.

And again: HAVs should get a buff, but the driver and gunner seat need to be separate.

That's an utterly terrible idea, there's a reason pretty much every game on the Market combines the driver and gunner seats in tanks.

Name 3

and it's probably because tankers ***** otherwise

Battlefield 3
World at war
Halo

Not the best examples, but the reason is that it makes tanks all but useless in pub matches, because you'll just end up with some useless person in one of the seats who's incompetent. Why do you think every single dedicated vehicle user does everything they can to keep bluedots out of their vehicles? It's because they can't be trusted. And while tankers in a Corp could probably survive if they got a couple of dedicated gunners, what about the newbies who just joined and want to try out tanks? How do you think they'll react when they see they're putting hundreds of thousands of hard earned isk at risk so Joe random can hop in and shoot at the MCC? which leads to the next point, one guy is taking all the risk, the other guy risks nothing and reaps the majority of the reward, how would you balance that out?

LAVs and dropships have to deal with the same **. If it takes teamwork to destroy something, it should take teamwork to operate it.
