The infantry are using the tank's radio. This is one of the cool things about tank riders. Not only can they ride on the tank but they can use the tank's radio for C2. Below is part of an old post of mine when I discovered this fact.
In a PBEM quick battle I had a three man scout team that was assigned to a tank platoon. The scout team was in a wooded area and positioned on top of one of the tanks. The platoon HQ tank was positioned about 70 meters away in the same woods. The scout team and its tank had no visual or voice contact with the HQ tank. However they both had radio contact with the HQ tank.
The scout team, was selected from specialty teams during the QB purchase phase and had no radio assigned to it. The scout team was able to use the tanks radio to stay in C2. I dismounted the scout team and positioned them next to the tank. No more radio contact. The scouts must be on the tank to use the tank’s radio for C2.
Another interesting possibility is for the scout team to dismount, move 50 or so meters away from the tank, look out of the wood line, observe enemy activity or lack of activity, run back to the tank and report up the chain of command.
