Question: Dismounting Crews

[RightDeve]

Depends on the circumstances...

If in a PBEM game both you and your opponent agreed it's okay, by all means.

If you're playing solo and you believe it's okay, go ahead.

Just remember that if those drivers were under Joe Stalin's order No. 227 "Ni shagu nazad!" probably they'll even attack the enemy, not just observing

Kinda reminds me how the Soviets stormed a village, and then each villager, old men and children included, were compelled to follow behind the tanks for assaulting another village, despite only 1 in 10 were given rifle.

related to this question.

From my reading and hearing veterans speaking, WWII tank crews who had their tank seriously hit, and immobilsed, almost always tended to immediately 'bail out', before they were hit again and 'brewed up'(ie set on fire/exploded).

This was especially the case with tanks like the Sherman that had a reputation for catching fire easily.
