I'm all for change but with the scale of the game it would make sense that tanks require more people, rather than giving less people more power.
BFR's "benefitted" from a second gunner, but it wasn't entirely necessary.

But it was made not neccisary because of the one man BFR. The 2 man ones were much more powerful with 2 people.
Another thing is the driver's guns on a BFR could be switched, here not so much from the sound of it. The driver of the tank has access to a single weapon.
So now a 1 man tank is decent enough for head to head ground conflict against vehicles or infantry in the open; but much MUCH weaker against aircraft and infantry with any kind of cover. That is a fairly big tradeoff if you ask me, forcing yourself into a very singular role just because you were too lazy to find a gunner is a good incentive for teamwork.
I am not too worried about it to be honest, but I want to see how it pans out in beta.
