What allows you to drop into someone's vehicle?

So I have been pondering, and without clear answers have come to question: Can someone with just one of the modules, say BoS, drop into a tank on an online multiplayer server? and vice versa, if someone has the tank crew module, can they jump into aviation servers and serve as crew in a multi-crew aircraft? What kind of limitations are there on players with only one of the BoX, tank crew, or Flying Circus in terms of multiplayer server play? Anything else interesting upon this or a closely related topic is also welcome. (also, though unrelated, I have all 3 bindings for pilot head rotation to my hat -one pure and two diagonals for a given direction, as it doesn't read as an axis- leaving me without my mouse to control the gunner's orientation. Do I have to rebind every time I want to be a gunner? This leaves me out of switching to gunner without pausing the game which is unfortunate.)

I'm MP I *think* any user can jump into a gunner position on an aircraft but not pilot. this is what I've read but not tried.

 

I don't know about tank crew but on imagines one might be able to gun but not drive.

As long as the plane/tank has gunner positions and as long as the pilot/driver does not lock those positions anyone on the same team can join in and be the gunner.

I gather that (given that at this point we all have flight modules) a player can drop into another player's plane as a crew member. can people without tank crew drop in as a tank crew member when it is released? Can players who only purchased tank crew turn around and fly crew for aircraft?

I think you might be able to.  When I only owned Flying Circus, I was able to connect to a WWII MP server and join a team by clicking on an airfield.  I saw all the planes as locked, but I did see the option to join other pilots as crew.  They were all full, and I never tested this before I was gifted BoM, and now I can't test it! heh. 

 

Since Tank Crew gives you access to a map, but not planes, like how FC doesn't give era-appropriate planes, it makes sense that you could join as crew in aircraft.

You dont need to own/buy the content to play as a gunner.
