This looks like the best place to post my question, although it doesn't necessarily make it good.

I intend to buy Red Orchestra 2 at Tuesday and I have a couple of questions about classes in this game because some things aren't mentioned or shown in videos.

There is a lot of classes. Some of them seem obvious (like anti-tank soldier, rifleman or elite rifleman) but some of them are not.

Commander - what this one is doing? There is little to no information besides that he is allowed to force spawns, call artillery strikes or recon. Is he important on the battlefield? Is he giving order what to attack to specific units?

Engineer - what is his role comparing to that of anti-tank soldier?

Tank crewman - he is obvious but when orginal tank commander is killed can he somehow replace him? Can he run away from a tank? Can you open a hatch and push granade inside to make the crew die in pain?
