Tank Commanders

The tank commander (assuming he is, as someone pointed out) just the vehicle
commander, has several principal tasks:

1) locating and prioritizing threats to the tank
- usually this would include other armour as a
primary threat, infantry and other AFVs as a secondary threat 2) directing the
combat action of the tank (providing direction to the driver and gunner and
spotting for the gunner) 3) taking direction from the external commander of
the tank element 4) taking direction from other external authority 5)
providing a higher level of SA than a
commander-less tank could normally have
(maybe this aspect goes away once we get advanced synthetic environments,
maybe not)
