Gameplay: Crew Served Weapons

I love teamwork and I dont really see this much different to a pilot vs. gunner argument in many vehicles in game.

Just need to tweak stuff to make it worth the while for everyone.

To sort of add to myself, I definitely think these weapons should also work solo, but at a diminished rate. But still, the assistant should probably be able to act "freely" within a certain radius and the bonus would be given, so no boring belt feeding minigames.

I currently play a lot as an engineer/support person simply cos I sorta suck at shooting in this game somehow Could be a nice way to be able to participate in the ground fight somehow. Currently I'm just "stuck" repairing tanks/turrets that other people are using.

Currently to do that I sorta have to get as a gunner to some vehicle or so and I for one sort of prefer the grunt style gameplay.
