Re: MBTs - 3-man or 2-man - Discuss!

I think 2 man would be okay for the Prowler, giving the driver a machine gun to use instead of the main cannon.
However, if the 3 man - dedicated driver ends up being in PS2, I think the driver should have some sort of other ability they could unlock through certification in prowlers. Like a "Mine-Laying" weapon, if they have Combat Engineering as well, they could put a point into that and drop a certain number of mines (say, 2-3) at a cost for ammo capacity, acceleration or max speed.
This could add a level of utility to the role other than just driving. I like the idea that TR can match the other MBT's of other empires without a secondary gunner, and if one is present the DPS can outmatch the other empires if they have that third spot filled.
Perhaps the two guns could be linked to just one gunner, or split in functionality between 2 if another gets in, with a boost to machine gun performance.
