Multi crewed tanks?????

[Tango]

Why hasn't this been brought into the game? Would really make tanking good if we could.

We have it, although its extremely rare to ever see it.

same reason when i ask for a gunner they all ignore me.

I had a squadie join me in a Sherman and he couldn't man anything.

It would be good to have it where they join and man the main gun and you would drive and man the top machinegun.

It used to be someone could join your tank, depending what position you were in (gunner or driver) the person joining would get the opposite.

This could of been taken out, which I agree because we lost the "drivers" seat and replaced with the commanders view - it would be like giving GOD mode to a tank crew.

It would also be cool if multiple players could man the guns of say a B-17. Maybe allow up to 6 players to join one bomber with each manning a different gun.

HTC has said (I'm pretty sure) that if we get multi-man bomber crews, we lose formation capabilities

Any vehicle that still has its old drivers position can have its gun manned by a 2nd player.

My old squad once went to the dueling arena to have some 2 man m8 crews duke it out and that was a lot of fun.

[Bruv119]

how about you could leave or join a vehicle?

Say for example i'm flying along and I take a radiator hit, I go and put her down near a friendly GV.  

He says  "hey Bruv! I'm going to the enemy town want to be my gunner?"    I say "oh alright then"  

Then after killing 5 planes with the pintle gun, I decide I've had enough of this hop out and a squaddie in passing happens to be in a twin seater such as an A20 / Mossie.   They touch down and give me a ride, but on the way back to base they foolishly go Head On with a set of B26's who give the squaddie a pilot wound.  Naturally the bullets miss my head by an inch, such are the fortunes of war,     We swap seats and I stick a bandaid on him so he survives twice as long as he would normally. I Climb back up and finish off those dang B26's and then get back to base safely.  

Bruv landed 8 kills from a tempest
Bruv landed 5 kills in a gun position
Bruv landed 3 kills in a Mossie    

Awesome!

Actually to land kills as a gunner/observer you have to wait until the pilot or driver lands his sortie successfully.
