Tank drivers acting as gunners in PS2

How about we make HA so that if you cert it, you can ONLY feed ammo to someone, namely anyone from BR 0 on up who is NOT HA certed so they can do all the HA gunning while you man the ammo can?

That's a similar effect of getting a Skyguard or MBT cert in PS. You get to be the chauffeur for some selfish dork who gets to have all the fun. Nah.

No. PS 2 should reward teamwork, AND reward those who acquire a cert with the most fun thing to do with that cert. Some may argue that they REALLY love driving. GREAT! You can get a driver's cert, maybe let someone else get a commander's or gunner's cert, and drive all you want.

But to "reward" someone for getting the armored certs for a tank by FORCING him into the driver's seat is not productive. I don't think tank driver should be able to gun, because that produces Magriders that are a one-man hovering BFR, but I don't think anyone should be able to gun a tank that doesn't have the certs to command and drive one.

Driver/commanders can internally switch positions to gun or drive, without having to get out and get knifed by a cloaker. Without the long deployment delay and obvious graphic of the flail.

Reward cert holders with most fun thing to do with that cert. Forcing heavy armor cert holders to be the chauffeur is no better than forcing the owners of HA certs to be ammo-feeders for anyone else who doesn't have the HA cert, but can fire the HA weapon.

And, please, don't be so dismissive with a one-word "rebuttal". Please elaborate.
