Driver/Gunners... NO!

Right on.

If you were in an armour outfit in PS1 you will remember that the synergy created by a good MBT (Main battle tank) crew far outweighed the effectiveness of a pair of Lightning drivers.

Planetside 2 should be able facilitating cool stuff to happen when people get together to accomplish more than they would be able to when working independently. This is a design philosophy that I am putting onto the game.

What use is a dedicated vehicle VOIP channel if all the guy you're talking to has is a crappy little pea shooter. He is a glorified spotter at that point.

Why have a multi-person crewed vehicle if it won't increase your combat effectiveness? Sounds a whole lot like the failed design philosophy of the TR in PS1 which was to increase the number of gunners while decreasing the potency of weapons.

The raider wasn't awesome, the prowler could just as easily have had a weapon toggle for the gunner between the mains and the MG.

If you can't include the option of assigning primary weapons to a dedicated driver you are essentially just adding a passenger seat to the MBT that will serve little to no purpose other having backup for when you get to your destination, get out of the tank and cap that point you drove them to.
