A serious concern about tanks.


Most of my posts here are snarky or negative but I think I'll take a stab at making an honest one for once.

I've read that tank armament will be customizable to the point of being able to mount AA as a secondary weapon. My question to you is why wouldn't I want to mount AA as a secondary or tertiary weapon? ATG has always been the biggest threat to armor in all of these games and the only way to really protect them was to bring along another ground based AA vehicle or have complete air supremacy. I fear that by giving AA as an option you are going to essentially be forcing players into taking the most obviously beneficial choice to deal with the most threatening targets.

In PS1 you brought a Skyguard to deal with enemy air but in PS2 it seems like you can just have your secondary gunner strap on a flak cannon and go about your business while the driver deals with all other ground threats. Other than being bipedal and having ridiculous regenerating shields this was one of the major issues people had with BFRs in that they were sort of an anti-all vehicle.
