loading in tanks serve no propose atm, so i think a better idea for them is that you get a reload penalty if you dont have a loader

commander or gunner can load the gun aswell
But they are now doing the job that they should not be doing
What are you on about? ON the frontline you don’t have a choice, you cant just replace him in middle of the frontline
… a loader is trained to well load the gun, he is positioned in the optimum place to quickly reload the gun where as the commander and gunner are not, there for requiring more effort to reload the gun thus taking longer

The loader perk allowing to switch types of shells while reloading saved my tank countless of times… Loader is already important.
Radioman however, is merely relaxing to radio music waiting for one of his colleagues to croak…

But doesn’t the loader perk work when it’s on the gunner?
If I recall I had to switch bots in squad formation to get teh reload perk to function.
But I might remmemmber wrong.
Dont even know why he is called radio man since half of the time he is just the (hull) machine gunner.
It does.
But it also works if the crewman is on the loader slot. So to be safe, my loader is a “spare gunner”, I give him the same perks (better aim and reloading).
When I start a new squad and don’t have all perks however, a guy with the loading perk in the loading slot works just fine if my gunner still does not have reloading 
If only they were functional
