I stand corrected by the Harasser

[Shogun]

i don´t use any vehicles but the sunderer and sometimes the harasser.

because all the other vehicles are no fun to play at all. the sunderer also is no fun, but i need the ams function.

we all know why the harasser is the only vehicle that is fun to play. the good handling and the driver gunner aspect.
but instead of nerfing the fun out of the harasser, buff the fun in the other vehicles!

rolfsky, you act like casuals would be unable to use tanks if they would be changed to d/g. that´s simply not the case. they can drive a tank, gun for a tank or even do both in the lightning. how is that "locking them out" of anything?

nerfing the harasser would be locking out every teamplayer of their playstyle. and planetside is all about teamplay, deal with it! casuals who leave the game because they refuse to play in a team are better off in other games anyway. and casuals who try this teamwork thing might get hooked up to the game faster, because it can be incredible fun! the devs say in every interview, that the special thing about planetside 2 is the persistent world where you will encounter the same players again and again. and that you will learn who are the good players and enjoy fighting with/against those guys. is there a better way to find good players than crewing a dangerous warmachine together? it doesn´t matter if you are hardcore or casual at that point!

also figment´s numbers are right. we have far too many tanks right now. that was the reason for increasing the ressource costs, to decrease tankspam. but making tanks d/g would have the same effect without that much annoyance. i think a casual soloplayer would prefer gunning for someone else or take the smaller 1 man tank over being stuck with no tank at all most of the time.
