He can't see much of anything though, his view sight ranges from the same forward view as the driver to a hole barely bigger then the machine gun.

Some of the tanks in game have working hatches for the radio/bow MG position, plus some have additional periscopes/visors that are either angled, or mounted perpendicular to the direction of the vehicle so that you get somewhat of a forward flank view.

 

I often play with expert settings in Tank Crew because it really adds to the immersion of the SIM.  One of the most exciting aspects of Tank Crew game play for me is that I am able to recreate what it must have been like in the armored compartment of a WWII AFV, at least from the standpoint of limited visibility.

 

It is for this reason that I think multi-crewing would have such a positive impact on the total Tank Crew experience. A MP server running on expert settings with 4-players in each tank would make for both challenging and exciting game play.

True

My personal experience with multi-crew has been bad to be honest, most player kick you out of their tank when they realize you are there with very few not caring about it, same goes for planes.

I couldn't agree more, the player base is often its own worst enemy.

 

Because Tank Crew is still fairly new, it will take more time to eek out a dedicated player base, and one that can appreciate all of Tank Crew's features like being able to multi-crew. Certainly, the Dev's have to do their part by getting a half decent AI infantry into the mix.

 

But I am very encouraged to find out that we can now man each tank with 4 players. Based on your user profile, you have only just joined. I have been here almost a year now, and I have to say that I am really impressed with the progress made by the Dev team thus far.

You're right that I'm new, I got Tank Crew last Friday, but I have been playing tanks for 3 weeks. I got Battle of Moscow, Stalingrad, Kuban, and Bodenplatte on steam last Christmas.

I have yet to link my accounts.

I don't no why Tank Crew doesn't show up in your signature. If you bought it, you should get recognition for it. I hope that this gets corrected because IMO it detracts from the Tank Crew user base by making it look smaller and less supported then it really is. My favorite maps are Stalingrad and Bodenplatte, with Moscow and Kuban a close second and third.

No, I just need to link my steam account!

You've been misinformed mate. Unlike you I do not drive tanks to compensate for shortcomings in other places. I simply walk lightly and carry a Big stick.
