A mod for the sunderer could be great, but they'd also probably need to lower the health a bit.

Also, the AA gun (not MG) that I mentioned might be a little too much, as I could see these things being very weak to air. However, they will also probably turn slowly and have a minimum range, so anything with explosives that gets around them or too close should be able to tear them apart. I seem to be arguing with myself now, though, so I'll end here.
I know they don't want indirect gameplay, but I do. Didn't they say something about being able to play your way? It's also funny that you mention the Sunderer having a cert for an arty turret, because it did in the original Planetside. However, I think both arty and mortar tanks are valid ideas, but we'll have to see what the devs do.
