Vehicles

The ability to control the turret and gun of the tank from the commander’s seat without getting out of the hatch (available only on tanks with commander’s view devices in the direction of the gun) has been added.
The commander position is now considered a priority and players will occupy it first. Commander optics allow for the most efficient control of the vehicle’s movement. Crew members will take their positions in the following order: driver, commander (if not occupied), gunner. If a player enters the vehicle, AI-soldiers will move from the commander position. If only two crew members remain, an AI-soldier will occupy the driver position, leaving the gunner position free and available to be swapped.
The display of the camouflage and coloring on the vehicle icons have been added.
The sight indicating the direction where the tank turret is facing is now indicated by a special marker - if the player takes the place of the tank commander.
T-60 - The gunner now has the ability to climb out of the hatch. The control of the cannon and turret will be disabled during this process as there is no one to control them.
