Not quite right Sas. Only 3 human players can be in each tank. But there are 3 playable positions in the T34 (Driver, Hull MGer, Commander/Gunner) and 4 playable positions in the Panzer IV (Driver, Hull MGer, Commander, and Gunner). So in the PIV you can move between the commander position and the gunner position. Also in the PIV you can designate targets for the gunnner as the commander, and the AI commander will shoot at them for you (you can't do this from the commander position in the T34).
Oh noes, what? Is there any specific reason you choose to remove the option of 4 playable 'seats' ? I was really looking forward to be playing with 3 friends of mine as a panzer crew
A few questions regarding the 'Graphics Settings' menu..
'Use Hardware Physics' - Can a dev explain the difference in appearance the game has when this is turned 'on' as opposed to 'off'? What exactly is happening when this gets turned on (more CPU usage? Less? etc.)? When would I use it, when wouldnt I?
'Framerate Smoothing' - what are the differences between this being turned 'on' and 'off'.. what is happening when it's 'on' etc. When would I use it, when wouldnt I?
'One Frame Thread Lag' - What is this? When would, when wouldnt.. etc
Also.. Role Voting. Hmm, interesting.

*sigh* that sucks. I was hoping for a full tank and get the best out of it.
That sucks. If your going to have 4 playable positions in a tank, why cant 4 humans be in there?
I think i can explain a bit
Use Hardware Physics: If you have a hardware that can process physics (NVidia cards for Ageia physics), it will use this hardware to lessen the strain on the CPU. Or this option will enable more objects to be interacted like physical objects (The Batman with physics is a good example of this one).
Framerate Smoothing: The game will cap your framerate to a set value to avoid great changes on the fps. This little write up will explain it better http://www.gpureview.com/unreal-tournament-3-and-framerate-smoothing-article-596.html
One Frame Thread Lag: This one is a little confusing so take what i say with a grain of salt.If enabled you will play 1 frame behind the game itself, it boosts performance, but some people feel unresponsiveness on the movements/aiming.
And reversed? Will the commander call targets if you are a gunner? Otherwise the advantage of having more crew is completely lost in my opinion.
Getting some new shots organized as I speak. There will also be a few shots of the inside of the Allied tanks for good measure. I'll post again when those are up.
Thank you Makino Yes, I did read up on these subjects before I posted, so I get the jist of how they are supposed to work.. however I was hoping to hear something from a dev as to how these things affect HoS in particular, and if they've done any hardware comparisons.
For example, did they notice a certain card or chip had better results when running these options. Is there a particular set of circumstances in regards to your individual hardware setup where it may or may not be a good idea to run any or all of these graphics options etc.

I think you missed the point, there are only 3 positions which can be used by the player for each tank, but in the Pz IV it takes a spot which actually 2 people would normally operate: the commander and the gunner. A T34 doesnt have a separate gunner and commander I thought.
So it's obviously done to prevent what you just described.
"The Panzer 4 has a NonPlayabe Loader - but all other crew positions (Commander, Gunner, Driver, Radio Operator/Hull MG Gunner) are available for player control. So if you want you can operate a P4 with 3 of your friends ;-)"
That is from an earlier dev post.. What I'm getting out of it, is that he's saying you(1) plus 3 of your friends(3) can operate the P4(which makes 4). Not trying to be a smart *** or anything, just want to figure this out haha.. And it was said earlier that the t34 will only have 4 positions, only 3 of which will be playable.
Now I'm completely confused. From what I understand ( from rammjaeger's last post http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showpost.php?p=801182&postcount=259 ) there can only be 3 humans in each tank.
You can't be a loader in any of the tanks, that's all I know for certain.
