16:31 It was also worth mentioning the commander's (this also applies to some crew members who can climb out of the hatch) view to the sides using the pilot head control settings while in ambush, this helps quite a bit Move head forward - Insert Move head backward - Home Move head left - Delete Move head right - End Move head up - Page up Move head down - Page down
16:36 To remove the binoculars or signal/pistol there is a standard key combination LCtl + Tilde, otherwise the tank commander's hand will get tired of closing and opening the hatch
Ohhh really....when i downloaded the game there was no default controls to remove the commanders binocluars/flares or maybe i missed something. Well thanks for letting me know and have a nice day/good night!
8:42 I would like to note that the basic control keys are not very convenient and if the player only controls the tank, they should be reassigned.

Ok...i mean im thankful that you wrote a whole essey on the controls, so i changed the video description to "Check out the comments for more information".
You can find it on the "IL-2 Great Battles" page on google. Its designated as "IL-2 Tank Crew" in the store with all the other games( yes it is an add-on). And thanks to you for watching my video and commenting!!
There are 2 free tanks if you want to try it first! Open IL2, go to “Quick Game”, click the tank icon on the map, and try it out. The Tank Crew DLC adds a lot more tanks, and missions I think.

Where can I find this game? I have the IL-2 flight series already. Is it just an add-on? Thanks in advance!
