The result will be sub-par drivers who will lose engagements compared to the other tanks that are easier to master. Its important that all the main tanks have roughly the same learning curve or you'll see differences in relative tank populations AND you'll see differences in the results of tank engagements irrespective of balance of the tank.

2) It makes driving that vehicle inconsistent with any other vehicle. You'd have those two keys bound and can't use them for other vehicles that don't have the same handling.

3)It makes driving that vehicle inconsistent with infantry movement, which normally maps quite well and easily to vehicle controls. Its intuitive and makes switching between vehicles and infantry easier.


And its still not necessary. As we've seen, a tank with a fixed main gun can be quite effective. I'm assuming you never actually played BF2142. I played it a lot and enjoyed that tank. It was different and had its own strengths and weaknesses. Mostly the strengths outweighed the weaknesses and personally I was far better at it than the other tank.
