Who is going to want to aim a cannon that only goes up and down? Seems like the driver is going to be doing most of the aiming.

I will be very dissapointed if there are tanks where the pilot does most of the aiming and someone else has to be there just to pull the trigger.

Well, be dissapointed all you want or you can get killed in one shot by a knife to make it fair(That's exaggerating)

I think you guys are forgetting that theres more to the game then the tanks. So in other words the vanu tank or any other tank, but lets use the Vanu tank as an example, could be alot better then the other two tanks. Obviously its not the strongest cause the NC tank has already been said it is. Point being not every units equivelant from the other factions has to be equal to balance the game but rather the factions as a whole have to be equal but each one can have their pros and cons. For instance the vanu tank could be better then the nc and tr tank but then one of its other units may be alot weaker then the same type of unit from the other factions in order to balance out the factions as a whole rather then on a one to one bases.

And for the tank being a 2 man job it makes since that the driver would not control the turrets at all, including the front one. the top one appears to rotate side to side and would probably be the p[rimary one the gunner would use and then when they are stationary or heading directly at something tough then the gunner would likly switch to the front gun that appears to be able to be able to pivot up and done to change its shots distance.

I'm hoping for a a 2 man tank, gunner controls top turret and can aim nearly anywhere, behind, up, down,etc. Driver controls bottom turret and (obviously) the tank itself. Bottom turret can only move from side to side, maybe up and down a tiny tiny bit.

Lets all not forget that piloting hover vehicle is going to have a stiffer learning curve than piloting a more conventional vehicle.
