new update a Tank Hazard

[Taurus45]

  The new update is a tank hazard in that once you are "auto-switched" tp "commanders view" you cant get back to normal drivers view. At least I cant......commanders view should be eliminated IMHO

you've been out of the galaxy for a while haven't you? there is a readme file in your aces high install directory...has the number 2241 in its title...you should read it...

there is no driver position in any turreted vehicles any longer...tank commander's position offer more flexibility in game play and since there are no interior views, less work for htc in creating/introducing new vehicles.

enjoy it.

Isn't it also called out in every arena's opening message of the day? 
I guess we can't help those who don't bother to read.

Dang...I thought he was talking about how a slight slope can stop a t34 to the point that you end up sideways on the slope unable to go forward or back........meaning you cannot steer downslope and look for a shallower slope somewhere else.

Re-read the OP and the thread title.  Last I checked, wirbies, osties, m3's and lvt's are not tanks.

I think the OP is referring to a bug.  I've had it happen too: you sometimes spawn into a tank in the old drivers view (in my case it was a T34/85).  You can even try to shift gears with Q or W but it autoshifts right back.  Once you change to the new commanders view you're stuck there since, of course, you're not supposed to be able to access the old drivers view anymore.  

Edit: actually, it's already been mentioned: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,312004.0.html

  cant figure out why some seem to get a rush from bad talking others, I just wanted to know the answer to my question not to be called stupid.

DUH ! to me ! Now I understand the problem....I am starting in the old drivers position ( the one that no longer exists ) then I get switched to the new commanders position the minute I use the gun. I thought the old drivers position still was active when in fact it isnt.

I didn't get a rush; I didn't bad-talk you; I didn't call you stupid.  I just pointed out that your answers were right in front of you when you logged into the arena.  The fact that you didn't bother to read them is more an indication of laziness than stupidity.

Reverse?  Hold down the S key. Works for going up hills backwards also.
