Drivers postiion on T34

[Pongo]

I know this is not a bug but a deliberate implementation decision.
Allowing the driver of a T34 to have the effect of opening his hatch without making the tank pay the price of opening a huge hole in the front of the tank is a mistake.

It was a trade off of the design of the vehicle that there was no place to have a drivers hatch for tactical use. The drivers hatch is only of any use for administrative movement as it opens up the whole front of the vehicle right in the most critical area of the tank.

It would be far more accurate to restrain the drivers pov to the interior of the tank.
Or to remove the front armour if the head is poked out.

i think this is one of those gameplay vs realism compromises,  who would really use a tank that they cannot see out of? (not to mention the 3 decade reloading time )

If you are asking that, you should ask about the PzIV and Tiger top hatch to be open when the pintle gun is being used, i think that is a bigger issue.
