The Lightning already exists to cater to this group, and is better suited to doing so. No secondary crew required and every point you spend goes to your own use.

Hypothetically possible, but the first game didn't have this problem.

It has, but there's some balance concerns with it. Also the Magrider's cannon is a spinal mount, it can only fire in the direction the tank is facing. Making it work as a gunner weapon would probably require some fundamental changes to the tank.
