Is it better to be the gunner or the loader?
>>64307184Driver is worst since you're constantly doing shit
>>64307184gunner obviously>get to just sit there>can actually see outside>get to blow up brown people
>>64307184Is this a Bradley station?
>>64307184The gunner gets to shoot the big gun, that's a pretty big pluse l.
>>64307184>fiddle with electrically powered controls, use the main optics, and shoot the big gun>physically lift 40-50 lb shells repeatedly, have to stand up while loading, and maybe shoot a machine gunGee I wonder which I'd rather be
>>64307334But it's stressful if you're a shit shot
>>64307184>r/gooncaves
>>64307184Best seat is commander or driver. Gunner is hot-seat. Loader is a fate worse than death.
>>64307349Noodle armed faggot
>>64307373>Noodle armed faggotMore to do with losing teeth when you're trying to load a round and the tank hits something
>>64307377Delete this
>>64307341if you're a shit shot they're probably not going to let you be the gunner
>>64307184Gunner:>Doesn't have to move much (can be a pro and a con tho)>Has the best optics>Is the one who pulls the trigger of the main gun and the coaxial>Is actually the one who does the killin'>Doesn't have his own hatch. Has to wait until the commander exits. Big con in emergencies>Depending on tank layout and commander size he's always got the commander's knees/feet/breath in his backLoader>Has to haul the heaviest shit constantly>Since this is his main job his extremities are constantly bruised (if you don't believe me check videos of loaders reloading while driving cross-country)>Has his personal machine gun on many tanks>The only one of the crew without good overview of the situation around the tank. Many loaders only have few periscopes>Has his very own hatch>Usually acts as the tank's mechanic. Also most heavily involved in maintenance and reloadingGunner has the by far better job if you ignore that he's the only one without a hatch (okay, many drivers can't use their hatch if the turret isn't angled correctly...)

>>64307184loader has few jobsgunner has more pressure
>>64307534this is a dude right?
>>64307547Its a woman, because I say so.
I enjoyed loading the most. Was a wonderful feeling to have your own hatch you can chill out of when on road marches. I thought gunning was overrated and I didn't like it much. But I like TCing more than all of them. Commanding your own tank (or "MBT" in this case) is a wonderful feeling, especially if you have a good crew that you mold from nothing into something and it runs like an oiled machine
gunner>gets kicked by commander>has to crawl out after the commander>has to sit down, causing blood to pool in your butt and legsloader>chads free to sit or stand as he pleases>his own fucking hatch, everyone else shares>can store food in the ammo rack>braindead job, free to use phone to play vidya during missions>super buff from nonstop lifting>women lust after you the moment they hear you are the loaderThe choice is clear as day in the outback.
>>64307547>>64307581hot
>>64307263loader gets the mg too
>>64307184For me, it's the loader.
>>64307534It's a cheap sticker pack of stolen art, my brother got one during his ironic weeb phase when he was 16 or something.
>>64307377Neverserved here, that sounds like a skills issue, fren.
>>64308323>>can store food in the ammo rackAnon, was that a fucking roast beef sandwich you just fired? There's mustard all over the glacis.
>>64313252It's who you want to be not who you want to fuck
>>64314672Did I fucking stutter?
Is it better to be the hammer or the nail? If you could.
>>64307184>retarded normalfag doesn't know what a waifu is
>>64307184>>64307534>>64313252The only anime girls acceptable in a tank are Guppies
>>64313257Same, have.
>>64318027I guess anyone who remembers her is too old to drive a tank these days.
>>64307349>Best seat is commander or driverboth the highest casualties of tank crews in WW2 for obvious reasons
>>64318085I thought it was because they had their heads out the most.
>>64318090>because they had their heads out the most.yes, for commandersfor drivers, it's because the front hulls of tanks are more easily shot at and tend to take more hits, and drivers were surrounded by controls and so on which are easily deformed by a shot, trapping the driver, or which might break and spill flaming hydraulic fluid all over him
>>64307184>loader
>>64307184Loader. Because at least you really can't fuck up your job.
>>64307341Computers do the shooting, man just presses buttons while looking at a monitor.
>>64314648>Yes just drop the big ass shell to catch yourself when inertia propels you forward into a not so round metal object in a cramped space... Um. No
>>64318096Also commanders get out of the tank a lot more for recon and whatnot
>>64307184I would be terrified in this day and age to be a part of a tank crew. Everyone is looking for you and when they find you they will give it all to fuck you up. My respects for those guys. At least Self-propelled artillery and MLRS have the advantage of having a shitton of range
