Why are the Anti Air Vehicles soloable?

Either the 'you need a driver' mechanism hadn't been added to them, or they are designed to be used by a minimum of 1 person.
If its the latter, you might as well just give it back teh vBF2 driver/gunner combo as its just inconvenient otherwise. Only the Avenger has an offensive weapon against ground targets, so I'm not worried about (and its got limited ammo) ground rapage.
and tbh, it would probably be best to make them 1 seaters and then have more boots on the ground as a result.

IMO they should be two seaters. However if the devs think they should be soloable than make them single-manned vehicles only. There shouldn't be double standards because of player limitations, particulary on vehicles that are only effective vs air targets.
AA vehicles that are missile only, very rarely encounter aircraft on the fly, they are usually guided to a rough area where aircraft are operating. Saying that, moving into an area with aircraft nearby means you need to get that aa up before the enemy reacts or takes you out.
Plus, I've used double-manned gaskin-brdm's and they're awesome. No aircraft can beat down a moving missile platform.

Well seen as AA vehicles can do with a lot less driving than a tank and the tracks are merely to deploy it in a certain spot, it is okay to enable soloying them to free up a man for an infantery squad.
