If both the driver and gunner have the same view range settings then the gunner should be able to see a little further forward than the driver. The driver cam is a little above the turret, while the gunner cam is set beside the cannon; slightly further forward. These facts should also be in the driver's mind when he crests a hill or looks for a hull down position, the gunner does not necessarily have the same field of view as the driver.

Gunner zoom is great if the tank is stationary. Good luck trying to track any target while zoomed in if the tank if moving...

Top tip for Gunners:-

If you've taken a turret hit and can't traverse, tell the Driver and have him rotate the tank to bring the gun onto target.

Or run away real fast and get your Engineer to make with the spanners!

Actually, Terminal Boy, there is a bug (second bullet point from the top) which prevents disabled vehicles from damaging anything. So, while this technique sounds cool in theory, it doesn't work in reality (or, at least in project reality).
