1) One tank crewed by two men, and four supporting infantry (mostly engineers), one of which has a supply truck.

2) Two tanks, crewed by three men each.

3) Three tanks, crewed by two men each.

4) And by far the better way imo: 3 ppl in one tank, kits obvious.

If 1 Squad - 1 Tank. I recommend driver as Squad leader, you can mark target by radio (give atack command), then it's very easy for gunner to find target. Even gunner dont have to look for target he knows where is it. Also he sees the range to the target, and can take right zoom level. In that case I dont have to explain to gunner about targets position. - "... man, about 3 o'clock by the blue container..." or "RPG...about 2 o'clock, building with red roof, balcony to the left, put some heat ..."

Usually I just say "marked new target APC or etc. Of course you have to act quick and update the target's position.
These things saves precious seconds in the battlefield.

OR
+1 Scout helicopter for locating enemy armor and for providing distractions w/ pilot => -1 engineer on 50 cal

Never turn the turret at six o'clock. There's impossible for the driver to see anything when the gunner does this since the hatch or machine gun will block the drivers sight.

When being circled by a minigun littlebird, never get in the turret thinking you can shoot him down with the .50.

Taken out 3 tanks in a row on kashan like this... And at least one of them had a 2 man crew..
