    How about a real commanders seat

    I cant imagine anyone forcing you to do anything... This is actually an interesting idea. For solo or dual tankers it would be business as usual... since transportation in a tank is instantanous, it would just be an extra keystroke.But for those who want the full experience (some realism...

    Uniforms Discussion (Merged 18 times!!)

    If it was up to me I would have the Waffen SS in the game with fully accurate uniforms, and their division mark on the tanks (which I think is another cool idea) but I guess some people would get offended. :(
