Thats like asking for b17's to have a mini screen where you control the rear guns while still flying.

Well kinda  :confused:  (we sorta have that already don't we, minus the elevator controls)

On the other hand, a tank crew worked in unison.  The gunner didn't have to jump out of the sight to look at the gear shift.  I read or heard about tank commanders giving commands to the driver by touching them on a shoulder or different part of their torso.  In another thread there was a request for throttle control in tanks.  I notice there is such a control in PTs.

Something along the line of better tank control while in the turret is something worthy of a wishlist thread.  In terms of priorities for HTC, I don't know how high it would rate, but definitely would improve precision tanking.

Been a wishlist thread for several days now, AFAIK.

More like being able to control the throttle as well as the rudder while you're in the rear guns. Oh, wait....

View options wouldn't change. You'd still have nothing but tunnel vision in the main gun position, which is plenty of handicap by itself.
