Crew Roles

Driver

• Don’t hard-stop unless the gunner specifically asks — it disrupts the barrel too much. (Alternatively, always hard-stop — just agree on it with your gunner before you roll out.)
  • Hard stop = shift up and throttle down.
• Don’t give them your ass. Keep your front toward the threat.
• After stopping, always shift to 1 or R so you can move instantly.
• Communicate: call your turns when you can, and turn after the gunner shoots if possible.
• If you get hit in the rear (a shot + engine damage), spin immediately to face the threat.

Gunner

• Always load AP by default.
• Switch to HE when needed.
• Reload the instant you shoot — don’t sit empty.
• If your gun isn’t pointed forward, make sure the crew knows (e.g. “gun is rear / 6 o’clock”).
• Call out kills so the crew can re-prioritize (“heavy down, turning to the medium”).

Spotter

Call out WHAT, then WHERE.

• “Tank, rear, 120 degrees”
• “Infantry, right, 1‑2‑5”
• “Tank, 310”

Your job:

• Watch the rear. Your teammates can see forward — only you can see behind. That’s your lane.
• Call the threat and the fix: “Tank heading for our ass — spin left.”
