Yes I know this has been suggested hear me out, I think you should either open the other hatch/remove the 50 cal.

The reasons why I re-suggest this, Yes I know you don't want this for the fact that there isn't enough players in the game 32 on each side, Although I don't think someone is just gonna sit in the tank all day in the turret not playing the game because there is another seat. The main reason I suggest it is because on large tank maps the 50. is utterly USELESS. I rather be able to take out my soflam/binoculars and actually help my crew without having to disembark from the tank.

I Know the 50 cal. is usefully on smaller maps/city That's why I would suggest opening another hatch, But if that is out of the question maybe remove the 50. for only kashan and other tank maps.

It's not a commander seat.

The commander is the driver as far as it goes in PR.



The 3rd seat is for engineers you might want to take with you to repair your tank.

Hell, a guy on that 50 on top has saved me a quite a few times from sneaky engineers

And sneaky choppers..

Haha, had an engi who managed to shoot down LB at the fog zone of Qwai with like 3 shots (pilot killed)

Ye, the driver is the cheaf and squad leader or atleast should be.

*Cough

ummm not really.
Even on the large maps i think its good. Say you have a full squad, 3 tanks, 2 men in each. you are all going in a line and all of a sudden an attack chopper comes over the hill. drivers swich to 50.'s and now you have a better chance of taking it out. id say you have more of a 50/50 chance of servival now instead of a 90/10 one! Simple as.

Well first off kashan has no attack chopper (atleast 64 which most servers play), Second the attack chopper shouldn't be flying 10 feet off the ground and if it is its going to be kinda hard for it to kill you, also mostly all the the choppers I have killed in tanks have been in the gunner not 50 cal, The tank commander isn't the driver sorry to say, The driver should be watching the road and looking for for mines and infantry, Its always better to have two sets of eyes and with the 50 cal. you can't see far. Like I said its utterly useless on large maps it does serve a purpose on small maps but most small maps don't have many tanks, Thats why I suggested to have it only available to larger maps.

I don't see why there can't be an extra seat though, I mean if a person wants to stay with the tank they are going to do it regardless of if there is another seat, So they will just be wasting another asset IE Humvee/truck to follow you.

Also just because there is no 50 cal. doesn't mean you would be useless you could always use your m4/ any other weapon you are carrying, It would be far more effective at dispatching the stray engine trying to c4 you.


What I am saying is ya you can shoot that random chopper who is acting like an idiot with your 50 cal. or you can save your crews life by spotting out a hidden tank in the hills before anyone else. I don't see the down side in that.

Not to mention that the guy in that position usually get killed very easily if he does not hide inside the turret while under fire or when there is a sniper nearby.
