Ok so I got an idea, how about adding a seat to control the MG on tanks that have them? Like on the Stuart, that any player can hop on and use

It’s already occupied on all tanks… it’s just the lmg itself that isn’t functional… YET! One day maybe.

Imagine if we could pick up the MGs off of destroyed tanks, as infantry, and use them.
I believe Ian was talking about the roof MGs (which can be used by the tank commander when he sticks his head out, FYI, Ian). But I hope that the hull MGs will be usable one day as well.

Maybe it’s just my opinion but I would like those MGs to be mostly operated by AI. But if I switch to it I would be in control

That’s the impression I got too, That would be cool if Infantry could take control of them when the Tank Commander isn’t using it.

Oh that… They already can 
(sure it happened to me while I had casualties in my crew so a seat was available) It was funny to be able to focus on enemy armour while some random buddy mowed down waves of infantry. He was doing a good job so by all means!
Yes, other peeps can jump in empty crew slows, but what I mean is, even if you have full crew, someone jumps on top of your Stuart/ Sherman/ Panzer, and uses the commanders gun from the outside, without even being part of the tank crew.
I always found this scene pretty dumb, why the hell a tank commander would leave his seat to operate the turret m2? In almost all cases there was a regular infantryman for this job.
I doubt he could even communicate properly with his crew this way.
I suspect it’s an oversight, the gunner on the right has a steel helmet and infantry pouches.
