Scimitar.

The Scimitar vehicle, from Al basrah, and maybe Battle for Qinling is a reconaissance vehicle - nothing more! The best way to use it as a recce vehicle is to keep the gunenr in place and the driver to get out, into a good position, and use his Binos, however, due to the (very well thought through) change to make it so that Gunners can't stay in a vehicle without a Driver because their screen goes back, you cannot do this. I think this should be changed, but only for the Scimitar and other Recce vehicles.

Actually, as long as the gunner got in with a driver, your good to go. You can freely hop in and out of the driver seat and as long as the gunner stays in, he will be unaffected.

This is good if the driver suddenly disconnects, or like you said the driver wants to pop out and look around for a second.

well either that or the gunner should somehow be able to get up into the top hatch and use his weaopons/binoculars ect....

It's much easier to just have the driver get out. Makes ambushing way easier too. If the driver gets out the vehicle won't slide around and the gun will be super stable.

also (i think) there's less noise when the driver gets out.

And are you? Last time i tried it I got a black screen but it may have just been a bug.

The Thing is IRL the scimitar has a crew of 3, so the commander can use his Binos and can get out and scout around, but I understand why it is limited to 2 for PR.

if gunner stays alone for a long time he gets message about missing driver
