Questions I have

[Flanker15]

1: Does the Olifant Mk 1A tank have night vision like in real life?
+ How much of the night vision stuff (IR searchlight, flares, light levels) actually effect AI LOS?
2: Are Laser range finders factored into the aiming of tanks (olifant, chieftain) that have them / can they be used by player if future playable tanks have them?
3: Can helicopters be shot down / will they be destroyable in future?
4: How can I move crew to other seats?  <- This one's really important I keep losing battles because my tank loses its loader or gunner.
5: Can the Chieftain be modded playable if the gun sight reticles were made like Steel Fury?

Thanks, I might start looking at making a model soon if I have free time too.

Yes and laser range-finder

As in real life

2: Are Laser range finders factored into the aiming of tanks (olifant, chieftain) that have them / can they be used by player if future playable tanks have them?

Yes of course
Chiftain don't have laser range-finder, It uses a strange system with a machine gun sighting (in game too) .

3: Can helicopters be shot down / will they be destroyable in future?

Yes

4: How can I move crew to other seats?  <- This one's really important I keep losing battles because my tank loses its loader or gunner.

Only auto by AI. Sit to another tank and AI can be move crew.

5: Can the Chieftain be modded playable if the gun sight reticles were made like Steel Fury?

Theoretically yes

Thanks!  This sim's even more detailed than I thought 

About changing tanks to get crew to change seats, what if I have no other tanks left?  Is a Steelfury like method possible in future?

Yes some crew managements in plans.

Thanks that'll make the things much more enjoyable!

You said Yes for "Can helicopters be shot down / will they be destroyable in future?" does that mean yes they're destroyable now or in future?   I saw one of the little SA helicopters take a full burst of 23mm with no ill effect.

I had an Iraqi Hind take a HEAT round and still keep on molesting my tanks!
