Depends on how you look at it.
Think of the 'current' PS2 MBT's as a 2 seater BFR from PS1. Only instead of the driver having controle of the two dinky guns up front, he has controle of the powerfull Gun up on the back. And the 'gunner' instead of having controle of whats basicaly the 'main gun', now is relagated to only controling the two less powerfull front/side guns. A 2 seater BFR with only a driver in it was still a threat yea, but nowere near a threat as he'd be if he had a gunner controling that upper gun.
With the change they made to the MBT's. You now have the equivilant of a 2 seater BFR in which the driver has control of the main gun instead of the less powerful side-guns. Since he now has control Why would he even need or care to have a back-seater? It might add a little bit of survivabilty, give him a little more versatility, but he now controles the 'main' gun. Why would he wait or even 'team up' with anyone else?
