You go repear with all your squad and then come back in the tank.
You go repear alone than come back to your tank by picking another member of your squad already in.
What will hapen? Your carefully crafted 5 stars tanker with optimal perk will just sit back in the tank with random position. Creating a mess a deleting all the advantage you had when you spawned.
And you realise that even if one of your soldier still got the right perk (for exemple tank ammo switch, the best perk with +20%reload speed) they will decide to go as a driver, or a commander or even… the worst possible choice… A radio operator.
A now I have to wait for the HE to reload (because I can not switch), shoot it, then load APC (without the +20% reload speed) to kill the tank that shot me. Just because I wanted to repear my canon.
Plot twist: I died.
Suggestion: Make the crew go to the optimal perk friendly position when they enter a tank.
don’t forget you don’t have to leave the tank with all the crew to repair it. Pressing T will leave with just current soldier, meanwhile others will stay inside
Yeah this sucks. The only way around this is get out with the commander only and nobody should take his place. Though sadly this becomes useless once the commander runs out of repair kits.
Don’t they automatically swap around inside the tank anyway (at least if you bail out with a critical role)? Tank crew still needs lots of so called “quality of life” improvements. They’ve just copied it from WT even though it works differently there (you can’t assign crew members to positions manually and you can’t leave the vehicle) and haven’t bothered to adapt it to this game in all these years.
Crew positions that combine several roles need to have those roles listed explicitly. The order of these positions needs to be universal for all vehicles (when you press “1” / “2” / etc. you should always switch to the same position regardless of what vehicle you use). Crewmen should remember their positions.
