Pasting a part of what ive just stated in another thread, in order to run a quick poll. My argument is thus:

Was it really a good idea to raise the restrictions on gunning vehicles? I have a PE who is absolutely capped and meets the requirements of gunning a 4x4, which he incidentally happened to switch over to NEXT to acquire.

If the cap on resist force is 114 and only little is required in transport...Where should PEs allocate the rest of the remaining free points in str?

I ask this primarily because the manual explicitly states that PEs are to be JOATs. If such is the case, then i was a JOAT at one point, with the ability to gun only upto a 4x4, yet nothing further.

Only a specialised tank could gun the higher range weaponry. Isnt that supposed to be how it is? The PE can do everything, just not as well, and without the ability to reach the highest range of weaponry, but atleast be capable of the mid-level ones.

If the PE cannot tradeskill as well as the spy, attack or defend as well as an apu/ppu, or gun like a tank...What is left for him to do? The obvious response is he ought to be able to do them all, just not as well as the other 3 classes with specializations. Which is what he was able to, pre-patch.

Why create an indirect nerf which has a bearing on an already balanced class?

Because KK considers the PE as if it were the little red-headed stepchild of the whole class familly, and Like a red-headed stepchild,KK beats it into submission using little bits of programing that sting like leamons in the eyes of Justice!

...OK where am I again?

heh JK, you KNow KK loves us :D

why do you want to drive or use a jeep gun? you can kick much more ass by going all agil/weapon/tc in dex.

I hack TL 110, drive 4x4s and (before the patch) could gun up to a troop carrier...All this, whilst both capping my gun and the soft cap on agl/atl, as well as a high level of defense. The sole satisfaction i derive is the ability to do so many things simultaneously, thus breaking the monotony.

Its not a question of why i would want to. Its a question of why im not allowed to.
