Crew positions lock

[beresford]

When I play multi-player on the Attention server, the crew position lock doesn't seem to work. There is a box saying 'unlocked' with a tick in it and there is nothing I can do to change it. I've just had an incident where I suddenly couldn't access the commander position and while I was fiddling around trying to figure out why I got 'killed'. Then I took another tank and after a while it happened again. This time I checked and a guy had jumped in. I aborted and went for the early Panzer III on the grounds that it effectively has a combined gunner/commander, only to find that I was now stuck in the driving seat and unable to leave it.

 

Multi-player tanks don't currently work for reasons we have previously discussed, and they certainly don't work if the players are not on TS. I should at least have the choice of disabling this in 'my' tank. Why didn't I just stay as commander? Because without the commander's binoculars function (also previously discussed) the only way of checking out long range targets is via the gunsight.
