It may be the simpliest update with huge impact.
Let the tank driver to use his hatch, like the commander does, by pressing CTRL, including APCs.
Some vehicles like the Sd. Kfz. 251 could use that technique (idk how it’s called in English), but you get the idea :

Arent the hatches on vision ports always open/see through for the driver etc.?
Nope. The vision is limited.
for some reason, on the ally M3a1 halftrack, yes. ( that is, side ones. as a while back, even the frontal one was wide open )
but usually, and normally, hatches were open only when out of combat.
as it goes for the main thread.
ehh… seems an whole lot of work for something that not many would use.
even though i’m n°1 support of rider so…
i guess it’s up to top brasses of enlisted.
But isnt that just due to the limited size of the vision port itself?
The shutter apears to be invisible to the driver already.
So unless the driver physicaly pushes its head through the port itself there would be no better vision by folding the shutter.
not quite.
op means something like this:
but arguably, Enlisted view port is actually better. as… the driver head is glued to the viewslit. hence you don’t actually need an open view as enlisted one is decent.
( also because DF was rather lazy when it comes to design interior. so they essentially hide the vehicles and characters, and just use a texture/cockpit on the camera to give an illusion:
( ignore the flying pieces. those are decorations i placed for one of my mods )
