17 pounder
« on: May 05, 2011, 10:54:44 PM »
OK, I understand the slow, more realistic turn rate, but no allowing the hay switch? Any big gun operator can lift his head off the sight and turn around. If you were intending to make it more difficult to use and decrease it's kill rate, you've done it. I see no reason if you truly intended a more realistic use, then allow the head turn.  :pray  :D

I wouldn't mind a "commanders" position just like the tanks have.

 Yes you can do the F3 or F5 thing but I think it would be nice to just hit my hat switch and look left, right or back at will. :)

I can turn my head with hat switch inside a tank and look around the inside, should be able to do the same in the 17 pounder.
