Elmar Bijlsma Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 That TC isn't to know whether you wanted to use the HMG or just have him poke his head out. Besides, making your TC poke his head out within reach of small arms fire isn't a thing I'd like to go see unpunished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Not really - if I could swivel my cupola and have a shooter pointing in the right direction I'd do exactly that - easy for me to say - the only armoured vehicles I've crewed (FV-430 series) I had no protection when commanding it but the GPMG was always pointed at the enemy. So perfectly logical - when you go into action you have to believe in yourself and you have to put the job first. The job is commanding the vehicle which requires situational awareness and in that series of vehicles at that time you had to be exposed to make sure that the driver knew where he was going and that the guys in the back knew what was going on. So if you have a shooter to hand - then you grab hold of it and you swing it at the direction of travel or the enemy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 You always point the gun towards the enemy. The hatch protects you from getting shot in the back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
