I was watching some Internal Beta testing videos for the 100th time that some guy stole from gamespot complete, and i wondered, sure, i need a cert to drive a certain vehicle, but i dont need a cert to be the gunner do i?

no.

no, from my understanding you will not need certification for gunnery positions, just driving whatever vehicle you're aboard.

Oh frig, so anyone that wants to be a gunner for the Galaxy has to have the Galaxy Piloting Cert??

no a gunner doesnt need a pilot certs because he is not the pilot =)

I am a bit apprehensive about the driver-cert gunner-nocert thing. Really, take a vanguard for example. Which is more fun, driving the slow hunk of crap, or firing the huge cannon?

Exactly. The cannon! I anticipate lots of people standing around waiting for someone to spawn a vanguard so that they can guncrew it. But not too many drivers. Driving slow land vehicles is dull - I expect most drivers would rather pilot or drive something like a lightning, where they can go faster and shoot.

It should take a cert to use the gun I think, then the driver and the gunner can swap spots every now and then and both have fun blowing stuff up.

People can stand around all they want, chances are the vangard driver will lock it in anticiipation of someone in his squad getting in

I found tank-driving in T2 to be quite rewarding.

In T2, when the tank wasn't holding still, the gunner wasn't likely to hit anything. The DRIVER decided when (and usually what) to attack, the gunner just pulled the trigger.

I wouldn't be suprised to find that it's the same situation in PS. A driver's in CONTROL. You both get to see the pretty colors when stuff blows up.

And the gunner doesn't get to turn infantry into patte with the tank's treads.

I'll drive, thanks anway.

Plus, it always bugged me being with an inferior driver while I was gunning. And since I'm so amazingly good, that was pretty much everyone.

Ditto for the bomber BTW, only PS doesn't have a bomber. Yet. WANT!!!
