What???? lol its a tank

thats what i mean, on every other tank in PR has the commander exposed, is this how its meant to be?

Thats because in PR, there isn't any actual 'Commander' position as such.

Sure he gets a .50cal, but that's it. The driver gets the Commander's periscope so there isn't an actual need for the commander.

anglomanii · 2009-07-11, 02:37

well there bloody well should be.
its just not realistic too have a black hat sticking his fang box out for some goat jockey to stick a flippin lead nut into it. and from my experience a spam can needs all the eyes it can get, it also helps in so many more ways, and frankly thats how it operates in the real world.
but then that's just me now isn't it?

There is a 64 player limit on PR servers. You simply cannot afford to have more players taken from other roles to ones that are less essential, such as a commander spot in a tank. Fun has to be just as important a factor as realism.

i can see your point,
i dont "want" to agree with it, but i guess this has all been discussed before.
if we went for true realism the PLA would have millions of tickets, the american's would have 10 second breaks between artillery, the poms would use Phuc as every second word and the french wouldn't show up.
so i can see what your on about.
i just figured if you did have a third person on board they might as well be properly useful.

According to what pictures of the 1 Armored Abrams' I could find, the M1A1 AIM doesn't use a commander's CITV which is only present on M1A2's. I assume it is staying on the model for practical reasons?

TBH the driver's hole should simply use the periscopes that are already there, for realisms sake.

FYI: New M1A1 barracuda camoflauge(was a low res picture posted before but thought we need some more to show it off abit more)
