I've been driving a Lightning since beta, and it is my favorite vehicle in the game by far. It was pretty hard to use back in the day when it did not have a turret and the weapons only faced to the front of the tank, but the 360 degree turret and 2x the armor they gave it really made a difference. I remember the day they gave it the turret, I came across 2 Vanguards, both with the crew repairing. I killed the driver of one Vanguard, the gunner jumped in the now driverless tank, and the crew for the other tank jumped in. The Van with the full crew was damaged pretty bad, and I kept driving over hills, denying them a clear shot. I had actually succeded in destroying that Van, and starting shooting the driverless Van with my cannon before a friendly Deliverer came from another direction and took it out.
Since that day, I've never looked back.
