While playing the Fleeting Moment campaign... my HQ R-35 takes a hit and the TC is lost. Amazingly, the driver does not bail. I highly recommend playing the campaign!!!
In the next scenario, the R-35 is running solo without a TC. MG and main gun will not fire, obviously. It's in a bad spot, thus I order it to back up and continue backing up until reaching the exit point (final scenario in Fleeting Moment campaign).
Then I got to thinking: how is that R-35 with only a driver backing up 250+ meters, avoiding dense woods and rough terrain without a TC? Is the R-35 equipped with special rear view mirrors? Fun!
Thanksgiving fun and giggles.
