On all GVs except the tiger the driver can move his head out of the hull.


Wow. bugfixes.

Last map-update even baltic south west country got the vehicle to HQ spawn that has been missing for years.

Strange things are happening. :eek:

Yes, but to do so on the T-34 opens up about a meter square of the front glasis.  Due to the T-34's sloped armor there is nowhere to put a protected driver's hatch.

My understanding is it was for traction should they get too deep in the mud etc.

Last model T34 I did had the same thing included as did the other variant my son did.

Maybe someday HTC will  get around to modeling the vulnerability of the gunner/drivers.

But this is easy. In a combat situation the driver has no hatch. Remove the ability to move the drivers head forward it in now way represents the capablility of the vehicle in combat.

No No. The Log is there for the spawn campers to make a fire and roast marshmellows while waiting for the next victim to appear at the spawn point! :)

Just a joke guys, I think Pongo is correct, for traction if the tank would get stuck; but during winter time I'm sure many crews used that log to make fires also.
