Hey SP, looks good and good to see you back to work on this.

Maybe a stupid question but the guy in the second seat, is that for the commander? Other than the sights there I don't see anything for him to man and if he's there as the assistant driver looks like to me if the driver gets shot he'd have to lift him and throw him out the hatch to get to the driving controls.

Yes, he is actually the vehicle commander. Hence the fancy NV sights and such. The BMP-1 had a single man turret, with a gunner who operated the main gun, co ax MG and Sagger missile. The 8 main infantry squad dismounts and the three man crew stays in the track for dismounted ops.

Thanks SP, guess I'm just used to thinking of the CO being in the turret.

He might be on the BMP-2. It has a two man turret, but also still retains the commanders station behind the driver... crazy Russkies...Confused
