Pick your preference.
Poll options: Current PS2: Driver on primary turret, gunner(s) on secondaries. Gunner weapons roughly equivalent in power to primary. PS1: Driver has no/weak guns. Gunner controls primary and secondary weapon. BFRish: Gunner controls Primary, Driver controls weaker secondary. Option D: Primary and Secondary weapon control can be swapped by the driver, the gunner, and a secondary gunner. Primary weapon more powerful, but has a limited forward firing arc when controlled by driver to make it more painful to use solo. Edit: A couple have said this could be OP by allowing the driver access to, for instance, both the AV primary and AA secondary. This could be balanced by limiting driver access to certain turrets, or enacting a swap timer akin to holstering a gun and drawing a new one to prevent instant swapping when new threats show up. Or something else. The main goal with this is just giving the driver control over how the vehicle is operated. For option D, weapon control would be set in a little gizmo on the hud or in the vehicle control screen if such exists, simple click to assign, that looks a bit like this: Code:
|W1|W2 Driver |X | Gunner1 | |X Gunner2 | | The driver would just click in the spots to change who controls what. Last edited by CutterJohn; 2011-09-17 at 12:41 AM. |

Option D seems the best.
Don't really need a fancy UI element. Gunners would see the option become available when a driver right clicks and released control of the main gun. The driver could take it back at any point by right clicking forcing the gunner back to their weapon.

Imagine a Reaver flying down on a tank. How vulnerable do you think that tank is having just its main cannon? I'd say it's probably going to die.

Option D is pretty good. It allows you to do stuff if you want to as a driver, but it also allows you to just drive and let others gun.
And thats important, especialy if you have ever tried to lead a tank collum. You cant just do everything at the same time... |

To no one's suprise I prefer the PS1 model.
Option D is also quite acceptable though. Especially with the limited firing arc, I like the idea of forcing a solo driver to use the vehicle like a tank destroyer. Edit: I would like it noted that PS1 contained single person vehicles, it just wasn't them exclusively. Last edited by Talek Krell; 2011-09-16 at 10:10 PM. |

Other: As "B", but does not require any specific position be filled by the person with the vehicle's cert, so long as at least one position is.
In other words, I'm sympathetic to the plight of those who argue that the guy who puts the cert time in should get to gun, but don't believe that warrants combining seats to arrange this. |
