harrasser proves dedicated driver is great

everyone is loving the harraser. no one is complaining about not being able to solo gun in it. i think based on this feedback, dedicated driver seat for the mbts will be welcomed.

the current armor buff means lightning is a much better solo vehicle now. i think the game is ready for crewed mbts.

Are all occupants sharing XP?

Everyone can love the Harasser, but that does not prove your point of view. The Harasser might be more fun if you could drive and gun, but that is a story for another time.

the harasser uses a dedicated driver and players are fine with that. it proves my view.

with the buff to mbt armor and appearance of super heavy tanks in the game files, there is a good possibility for dedicated drivers.

Where did you see a Super Heavy Tank?

Which is why you give the Driver the Secondary Gun, so he can shoot things that get too close to the Precious!

i saw it on reddit, and i think it was posted here some time ago.

despite tray saying the quadruple prowler cannon wasnt gonna be in game, they added textures and a proper tank model.

there were also artillery turrets, and a giant minigun turret for the prowler.

the harasser would be balls hard if you could drive and gun it, but also balls strong.

Im nc, and if i was stuck only driving that slow boring hunk of nanites vanguard I would be very sad. The thing that makes it bearable is being able to fire the cannon. The harasser on the other hand drives like a hopped up rally car. Exciting to drve and I think totally suicidal if you arent paying attention to where you are going.

tank spam makes more people sad.

besides, mbt is already boring since you have to completely stop to land your shots.

No you don't. This is a flat out lie. Just because you cannot shoot worth crap while moving doesn't mean the rest of us can't.

Doesn't bother me. I can do fine while moving and shooting. I do it with the lighting and vanguard with absolutely no problem.

I know I'm not the only one.

Have you tried the Sunderer? or Lightning? or running infantry? Cause it seems that is where you actually belong if you think that : /

And independent driver working with a gunner can do wonders. The situational awareness alone is improved dramatically. LA with C4, incoming fire, infantry...

ya man, the teamwork involved is really satisfying. in planetside 1 i would jump in a random tank, if we kicked a lot of ass we add each other to buddy list. there was so much comradery from that. magical times, man.

in ps1 everytime i jump in a tank of a driver, i felt like we got each others back, like we were a badass team. it wasnt as fast paced, but the teamwork and coordination made it really intense.
