[Suggestion] Let the L-24R Spur turn the Liberator into a 4 person vehicle

    The Spur Is one of those weapons that seems great in concept but doesn't function well on the battlefield anywhere as well as it could. Its main niche is that it allows for the pilot of a Liberator to utilize the weapon with free look function which in essence changes it from a fixed gun into more of a mounted turret unlike the way the other liberator nose-guns are.

    With the limitations of free look and its springing back to a front facing fixed view when releasing the button for the free look function, this makes the weapon quite difficult to use in the way it was seemingly designed for. One way I believe this could be improved upon is to let it be controlled by another player who could control it similarly to the way that the Valkyrie's nose-gun is used. This would then allow the Liberator to be turned into a 4 person craft.

    Seeing as how the Spur is the lowest DPS Nose-gun of the Liberator and is already very difficult to use while piloting, this new functionality would both improve upon the liberator in giving it a new dynamic of having a 4th person be able to enter the vehicle and control the nose-gun when the spur is equipped while giving the spur some needed improvements, not to mention aesthetically the Liberator looks like it already have the required hardware to do this with the nose of the craft featuring gunner optics the way a helicopter would IRL:
