Sven Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Are there any benefits worth the risk? I tend to open the hatch on all my tanks as I think they spot things better, but they die so often I'm starting to wonder whether it's worth it or not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Yup.....There are several (in some cases ongoing) threads on this subject, here's the most recent I can think of: Edited January 4, 2020 by Sgt.Squarehead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 Thanks. I just did a quick search for "open hatch" and didn't find anything useful. I'll read that and search better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 No worries, searching can sometimes be a bit hit & miss, just happened to know about that thread 'cos I was in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned in another thread you should take into account the potential range of the enemy as well as weather and visibility. In darkness and poor visibility it may be worth the risk of unbuttoning as otherwise a tank is virtually blind. Also, if you are on a large enuff map that the enemy is further than (say) 500m, then an unbuttoned crewman is fairly safe. Also, if you have many tanks it may be worth risking one or two unbuttoned as scouts. I generally try to lead a column with less valuable vehicles unbuttoned like halftracks as they can spot better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
