Granted it’s too soon to tell how it impacts BTB vs Warzone, but does anyone else think the gunner seat in scorpions need a little more damage resistance? I almost never see anyone using the second seat of a scorpion, and with good reason. The seat is so exposed that the occupant is generally killed within seconds of the tank entering a more heavily contested area. (similar could be said of the wraith gunner seat, but a little less so in my experience) So you pick up pretty quick that being the gunner equals more or less instant death, and learn to just not use it.
I’m not saying that seat should be a bomb shelter, but every decision you can make in multiplayer is supposed to be a risk-reward scenario, right? As of right now, scorpion gunner is more or less 90% risk to a potential 10% reward. After all, 343 took the time to code that vehicle position into the game, so it seems a shame that it’s going relatively unused.
Note: I’m aware the gunner’s function is primarily to protect the driver from enemy infantry boarding and destroying the tank, but again, if death is so common/fast, there’s little opportunity for a player to fulfill that role.
