Let Tank Commanders lock crewmen to Hull MG

I like team tanking, but it's always a gamble. You may get someone who doesn't speak your language, doesn't listen, or has no sense.

You don't want them driving. It would be nice if you could open up JUST the Hull-MG position, at least until you can determine if they'll be a good crewman.
 
i think tanks would be a lot better if it wasn't possible to solo commandeer them since you're giving a single person way too much power in his hands without any need to communicate with anyone else.

instead, you'd always need a player if you want a crew at all in each seat, but the commander would have to approve if he wants such person as a crewman. maybe make a tank like a squad where people would apply for positions and tank commander would accept or decline them. this way, you'd need to communicate with other people to reach the tanks full potential, but the tank wouldn't be rendered useless by being able to kick/decline non-cooperative people.

of course it's just another in the sea of ideas how to make the game both more realistic and interesting that will most likely never be realized, but why not throw it in here.
