If a tank does not have a loader position, can someone else use loader perks then?

Hello comrades!

As the title says. I want to use the loader perk on someone of the ba-11 premium squad, but there is no loader, can some other position use it?

testing it in the editor, i’ll see

Assuming that Warthunder is used as a base, some crew members may be doing 2 or more tasks - in case of moscow campaign, the T-60 has 2 crew - 1 is driver, the other is commander, gunner, loader (and radio operator). In theory, the commander should also be able to use the traits. But, I don’t know in practice.
Panzer 2, if I understand right, has driver, gunner, and commander that is also a loader.

yep. commander is loader.

you get penalty of reload if you don’t have a commander.

And the gunner if no one is left or in the T-60.

btw, lol… you can use the weapons when the hatch is open:

problem is… what they see, against what you see:

Mostly the case of three and four-crew sized tanks ingame. One of the few historical things here lol

generally, through the xray you can see who does what.

by logic, whoever is near the gunner, 90% of time if does not have a loader, it’s usually the commander.

the machinegunner near the driver it’s supposed to use the bow machinegun, but those do not work. so he works as a crew replenisher in case someone else is dead. or… work as a shield given the thickness of the armor.
still, ba it’s probably one of my favorite russians vehicles ( even though i don’t own it. i must admit )

Each time it happened to me the commander was the loader
