Tank Crew's level of detail is great

The Loader's visor isnt even usable yet it's modeled in-game for us to look through. Just shows how much effort the devs are putting into this!

The M4A2 in game also uses the historically accurate M3 periscope sight (1x magnification). As a tank nerd i was excited to see this as i have not been able to dig up much on that sight (this page having the best info on the M4's optics). Its visible in the picture above, but the devs clearly dug up enough info to even have sighting information for each type of round in that periscope. (If anyone can link me sources that'd be cool)

 

On a related note, if you check that page above you may notice that the M4 had sighting equipment for indirect fire. With current targets in-game I dont think it would really lend much to the game for the effort of putting that into the tank, but it would be pretty cool to learn how to lay the gun for indirect fire. There is of course the possible issue that lend-lease tanks may not have been issued the equipment, and if soviet crews were trained on M4 as well as VVS airmen were trained on lend-lease aircraft the odds of them knowing how to lay the gun for indirect fire is pretty slim. IIRC all manuals came in English so they probably couldnt read up on how to use it.

It is cool to cruise around with the hatch open and the big Ma Deuce in front of you!
