Spotters are not fun to play, they block vision with their pings and in a game where vehicles are already next to useless I'd much rather have an extra repairman/gunner slot. Personally I'd prefer if spotters were straight up disabled.

Agreed, but they give you extra options, also you get thermal vision and get 200 points for every kill the driver gets, I would use it mroe often if they allowed the engineer role to repair it while inside.
and also it's cool to play with your buddies tbh

Me and my friends are fanatic tank drivers who love to dick around, but its just been in the way. Someone would get into the tank and get the wrong seat, only for the gunner seat to get taken.
Its existance can be justified, but that still doesnt make it a good feature imo. I'd much rather see it get replaced with something more fun and useful. Id love to know why most are not on board with that

spotters are actually very usefull, if people are just straight uo trolling that's another problem
maybe there should be a option "diable spotter pings" or something like that to not get annoied

yes, I agree, I had fun playing with it, especially if you've got friends and the tank doesn't get spawncamped by a guy on the menu. (unfortunately I don't have a friend, and it takes 20 mins for a tank to spawn so not that either)

It would indeed be interesting if you could fix the tank while being a spotter. Also a change on the spot icons could be interesting

Maybe make it such that there can only be a limited number of pings, and that new pings remove the old ones so it wont block too much vision

i think instead of getting kjust plain assists they should get assists count as kills

Having a spotter on mic is incredibly useful. Being able to have your spotter call out enemies much more readily through thermals means that if they're doing their job right and scanning for threats you can often react with enough time to not instantly be killed by enemies sneaking up on you, not to mention spotting enemy armor and transport way more easily than the driver or gunner, especially in dense environments.

Disagree, a good driver and spotter pair can be very powerful and imo is one of the best role synergies in the game currently. The thermals unveil obscured infantry and especially vehicles at a distance which increases the survivability of the tank. Combine spotting with callouts on mic and you can be a huge force to be reckoned with.
Also good to spawn in as engi so you can hop out and repair when needed.
I agree that making adjustments to the pings themselves is a good idea. I don't know if there are options in game to adjust them like with the flag/teammate marker settings, but if not they should be added. I also like the idea of giving drivers the ability to toggle the pings on/off.

Spotter is usefull but boring as fuck. This is arcady game and all it can do is clikc 1 and 2 on keybord, when most people play this game for somewhat more intresting gameplay
It would be all god for Hardcore, but for current mode, it could be just replaced with flir camera for driver, time limited ofc, just like Flir scope
There is a reason why most players just leave tank when the only free seat is spotter, its boring, not engaging and overall its worse experience than anything else this game have to offer.
Why player should want to do it when then can have propably the best FPS experience currently avalibe just by picking a gun and running to the nearest fight

At the very least spot assists would go a long way to making the spotter rewarding

spotter arent anoying at all the anoiyng things is the lack of communication between the tank crew when there is one that make pretty much the spotters just a tourist. to me they should change the grapich of the tank spot ping for making it less comparable with the normal ping so casual tank players dont get confuse.
