As we all know, afv's are mobile coffins, and vastly inferior to the lt. In hopes of making it less painful driving an afv... I suggest allowing the afv be able to pivot in place, similar to a medium or heavy. They do have tracks, so its not like its implausible.
I dont get it, VESS has had an awesome looking new afv in the art forum for ages. is that just a concept or what? anyway, use that. bit of a rant: far as i can see, the LT is a major unbalancing factor currently, the most obvious one* in the game IMO. If BE was given something almost exactly like it, balance would automatically improve. of course this makes the teams more symmetrical which some ppl might not like, but fuck it, it works. This makes research paths viable for both teams, not "im NF so i can research whatever I want in a totally skill balanced game" vs "im BE so i better get some DU or HMG asap before we get completely violated by LT's". *apart from arty strike ninja whoring - which is all Im gonna say about that
