I'd sack that commander he was rubbish! Nearly reversed into something. Good to see it running.

Re: hetzer vs. post war assault gun
having driven a hetzer. the vision is non existent and the driving position restricted. the tillers are horizontal. Under the lip of the commander's hatch are three buttons. they correspond to three lights in the driver's console.Red, white and green. When pressed they inform the driver to go left, forwards or right (in that order) These should be used in preference to radio/intercom commands.

Re: hetzer vs. post war assault gun
Yup, that's why I was blaming the commander not the driver. It's his overall responsibility for maneuvering a tank, forward or reverse! Makes you wonder about the British Mk1 - IX, they had two drivers and two gearsmen!Hoffman Grink wrote:having driven a hetzer. the vision is non existent and the driving position restricted. the tillers are horizontal.
