If the driver moves to the other turret, does he fire the weapon with
the
same skill level as the gunner? I realize that a large amount of
crosstraining occurs, but I was always under the impression that people
slated into certain positions would be a little better in their primary
occupation then those who are not. Should the driver have a penalty
(slight)
for firing the vehical weapon. Is this too nity grity detail for the
game?
Can anyone pick up any weapon and fire it as well as every other guy? 

>>b) Same APC, but the driver is busy driving (MOVEing) both ACTIONS.

 Can I ask anyone why this vehical has two turrets yet only one gunner?
If
each had to be seperatly manned, it seems strange that an extra gunner
would
not exist. If there is only one gunner, perhaps he sits at a control
board
that allows him (through camera optics) to operate both turrets.
However, I
can't see the logic of having the gunner move about the vehical to
operate
two seperate turrets. I can't think of a moderen example off hand. Are
there
any?
