Gunner Killed. what now??

[Andy Mil]

Cant switch crew and also track dead

Press Tab and switch to a different vehicle. Your gunner won't resurrect by magic and your loader isn't a gunner.

For the track, it's quite simple, you wouldn't have the time to repair that especially under fire. When other games make it so that a track can be repaired in 30 seconds, in real life it takes closer to 20 minutes so same answer here, switch vehicle.

welp guess we all dead cuz that track dead only is actually from previous session and all obj was done except Break contact and all other tank was vs a horde of M1 and die with only 1 survived

Welp shot em 2 times to their side angle and their front angle of M60 and I was T72 but they didnt die and they turn their turret around counter shot 1 tap ammo rack blow out. Russian tank man..
the xray show that side shot hit their ammo rack but they didnt die and front side literally give up defect all off
also it was that APC american thinggy that use in vietnam that shot off track

Yep, heavy machine guns can destroy your tracks (and optics) so never underestimate the M113/BRDM.
It can be surprising when coming from other tank games where .50cal/14.5 don't do a lot.

What to do when my tank glitch into tree?? it growing out of my left track and my tank floating stuck in it.
welp I manage to sqeeuz my m60 out now

This can happen, it's a known bug but not a priority at the moment, since there'll be an overhaul on tree behavior down the line. Usually, switching to a different vehicle and driving away from the problem fixes it.

Welp, what if like i can wait for that 30 min of track repair?? just soo my heart feel happy that at least my dude try to repair also I hope we get too see infantry or survival of tank crew ran away from tank when disable hard

[BobobVanBlob]

Most missions in the game are about the 15 minutes that make an armoured engagement so the repairs that happen after it are not included. But you can see on the holy roadmap[gunnerheatpc.com] that a bunch of stuff is on the way, repair is still not there but keeping your tank in one piece will make a difference in terms of logistics (if the game makes the difference between types of damage when they expand the campaign).

In reality you probably would bug out at that time and/or abandon ship. You can't pop smoke to cover retreat, though.

[Andy Mil]

I would love to see more of this world alive like I can tell my crew abandon tank with game zoom out like from Drone view watching all my crew exist and jump out and on screen mention Crew abandon or something. It would be cool way to let myself suicide. Also hope defend get fixed. They literally shoot across the foggy world from this mountain to another mountain without my scope can actually spot anything at all in this foggy silent hill world
AI literally tracking my friend speed too. This time my friend playing and stream to me and his getting shot soo trying to speed away and literally get one tap after stationary for abit then under suppress like all miss near him soo his speed away and BOOM on fire

20 min seems fast, I think it would take more like 30 to 45 min...

Little complain, APC takes 10 rounds of 105 mm and lives but takes me out with 30 mm from afar..

[Barleyman]

There's no 30mm gun in the game.

actually he is. Tank crewmen are cross trained to be flexible and replace roles in such events (where another crew member is dead or injured).

Obviously, a loader won't be a good gunner, but he will still be a gunner. Crew members switching roles could be a thing at the cost of tank suffering from less combat effectiveness (slower reloading, less accuracy when shooting, slower gear shifting when driving etc depending on which role is swapped)
