What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion removes the 3rd Gunner seat from 3 seater tanks, and instead allows the Tank Driver to use the gun instead.
This is mostly due to how completely underused the 3rd gunner seat is for tanks, only occasionally do people play as a third gunner and usually just exit the tank with anti-tank instead of actually gunning.

The gun would essentially act exactly like the tank cannon (you can press alt to free-look instead of constantly aiming, allowing you to concentrate when need-be)

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I wouldn't believe so

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Gives solo tankers more defensive capabilities
Overall makes the tanking experience more enjoyable, and gives a minor buff to tanks.
Tank Drivers can finally go positive K/D-wise

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Underused feature removed
Solo tankers might be more effective / survive longer
Less teamwork required for tanking
Possibly some dev time involved?? im unsure as to how simfphys works though i dont think it'd take too long

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I feel like most Tank Drivers can agree, having to watch as you can do nothing while infantry light you up with AT4s etc and being completely unable to defend yourself because leaving your driver seat is almost a death sentence as you're unable to move is the most annoying thing about driving tanks, the 3rd gunner seat is rarely used and most people just exit the 3rd gunner seat anyways because it's usually quite boring.

Suggestion Denied



Hi Biscuits, Your suggestion has been denied.

We have decided to deny this suggestion as we believe this would be too powerful for the driver to control a weapon and movement in the tank. This also promotes solo tank gameplay and demotes player co-ordination/co-operation in tank regiments which is not what we are looking for.

Thank you for taking the time to make a suggestion​
