    Recently I was playing and noticed the drop down list for "Driver" and was wondering: Whatever happened to that? Clearly a vestigial feature what was supposed to happen and what did happen? Might we still end up with differentiated drivers and gunners in the future? It'd be cool, but would it work?

    They're still working on secondary turrets.

    Many of mayama's vehicle designs require code support for second and third turrets and he really wants them, and a few devs have said they might do it

    I duno how well it will play out if it does get added, since currently being a gunner is retarded.

    Well I was mostly thinking that one person drives and the other person guns, simple as that... Would make it more teamworky

    Empires is a fast paced Deathmatch styled game when it comes to vehicles, driver/gunner combos would be ghey

    Pestering infantry with hit-and-run tactics is essential to any game.
    its not that fast-paced either, it takes a while for the COMM to research all the good stuff, so get a couple low armor, really fast jeeps, you got a pretty good raiding party.....Until the missles show up. :eek:

    It would be impossible to hit anything if your not controlling the vehicle yourself imo


    and with all these fucking retard NOOBS, they would buy a tank and drive into enemies alone while stopping to fire weapons and dying. (more than now)

    Easily solved by upping projectile speed to more realistic levels...

    Besides, its just a thought and not a suggestion, I agree, it would make it difficult
