Stuart - button/unbutton?


Recommended Posts

Can anyone please tell me why the Stuarts button up when firing? I know they did this in CMx1 so I reckon it has some historical relation.

However, in CMx2 they unbutton right after firing and during a succession of firing it seems rather comical watching the TC pop up and down... sort of like that game at the state fair where you try to hit the ground hogs on the head.

Its a two man turret and the commander's 'other job' is loader for the 37mm gun. One supposes they could've left the hatch open as the commander briefly disappears into the turret to load the gun. But you can imagine the resulting complaints about an unattended open roof hatch :)
