COMMAND

Vehicle Crewman

Difficulty: Hard Supervisors: Command staff Rank: Sergeant First Class Duties: Operate the M577 Armored Personnel Carrier, and provide the deployed troops with vehicular support during the operation. Guides: No external guides Unlock Requirements: Six hours as any squad role, three hours as a Squad Engineer Detailed Description: |__________| Your job is to operate and maintain the ship's armored vehicles. You are in charge of representing the armored presence amongst the marines during the operation, as well as maintaining and repairing your own vehicles. |__________|

"The Ridge' is a scary tank. Its got stealth, mobility, firepower and point defenses better'n anything we had on the M22. What's so neat is the way the automatics handle the workload - you'd think you need at least three crew to run all this crap, but in fact you can do it with the same two girls you had in the Jackson. The only problem we had in our battalion was running the panzers in after they were delivered, factory fresh - you need to fire the guns a lot and run all the equipment a number of times before the sensors and weapons settle down and fully integrate." - Capt. Andrea Mae Samona, 2nd Colonial Marine Tank Battalion, Colonial Marines Tech Manual

Overview

After you somehow passed the vehicle operator test you're now finally going to get to use the vehicles the USCM provides during a military operation, though you'll have to wait first as the vehicles you have has been left un-maintained in the vehicle bay throughout the Almayer's voyage. Make sure to either fix the vehicle yourself or to radio in to the resident grease monkeys over in engineering and tell them that you need the vehicle repaired and retrofitted.

Note: Any role with their engineering skill at level 2 or more such as, you the crewman, Maintenance Technicians, the Chief Engineer, Squad Engineers and the Synthetic are the only personnel currently capable of performing repairs and replacing parts of the tank.

Problem:	Repairing and Replacing:
Broken M34A2 Longstreet light tank	The broken tank. It's useless without any proper armament. It can't move at all when it's been this badly damaged. Although it can just barely move with broken or no treads. It'll take a lot of work just to fix it, and you'll need spare parts and properly trained people to do so. The replacement parts are costly, you better make sure they don't go to waste!
Broken M577 Armored Personnel Carrier	The broken APC. It's useless without any proper armament. It can't move at all when it's been this badly damaged. Although it can just barely move with broken or no wheels. It'll take a lot of work just to fix it, and you'll need spare parts and properly trained people to do so. The replacement parts are costly, you better make sure they don't go to waste!
Repairing the vehicle frame	Repair the frame with a welder 3 times (depending on the damage) and use a wrench.
Removing Modules from Hardpoints	Use a Crowbar to uninstall any modules from the their hardpoints.
Removing/Replacing the Tank's Turret	To replace the tank's turret, you'll need a powerloader. Get in the powerloader and click on the tank. Remove the turret and pickup the replacement turret. Click on the tank once more with the turret in the powerloader's clamp.

Ask the personnel who are repairing your vehicle to also attach the starting modules unless you are doing it yourself.

The Tank

Tank:

Description:

M34A2 Longstreet Light Tank

A light but very modular tank, which may house an array of attachments, allowing it to be an effective, well-rounded armored vehicle. Has a rotating turret that allows the gunner to fire in any direction, though it takes time to turn the turret. Interior: Available as a Tier 3 tech. Only Vehicle Crewmen can operate the tank and Marines who've used the VC Pamphlets. Although the SEA and synthetic can drive it.

• Once the Tank has been fully repaired and retrofitted head to the highlighted green square at the sides of the Tank (as seen below) and click on the Tank . Upon clicking the Tank from that position will appear into the interior of the Tank . Make sure to discuss with your tanker companion which seat to take.

Repairing Modules

Due to your crafty ingenuity and taking a course at your engineering college where you've somehow learned to drive tanks and APCs, you're now able to repair your own modules on the go! Assuming it's not Fucked Up Beyond All Repair, you'll be able to repair all modules back to pristine condition! Simply take any damaged modules off of the vehicle, weld it and you've repaired the module by a certain percentage. Continue doing so until you've fixed it all.

Pull down your goggles or get your welding helmet at crewmen's quarter (in hangar, south of dropship 2), remember to flip them down before you start to avoid eye damage when welding. Remember to turn off your welder before refilling or the fuel tank will blow up.

The Vehicle Operators

There can only be two Vehicle Crewmen on the Almayer. This is useful, because the vehicles of the USCM requires a driver, and a gunner; one person cannot operate both at the same time effectively. Each Vehicle Crew member is able to fulfill either role, and switch out at either time with their fellow tanker. In case a tank crew is SSD inside the tank, you can use grab intent and click the vehicle exit to drag them out.

Role:	Description:
The Driver	Drives the vehicles of the USCM. You are only able to move the tank backwards or forwards of where you are facing. You must rotate the tank clockwise or counter-clockwise in order to turn.
The Gunner	Utilises the support, secondary and main armaments of the vehicles of the USCM. Be wise though, that some weapons only fires in a 45 degree angle, which means the vehicle must always be turning. But for the tank, you're able to rotate the turret to fire in any direction. Though there is a small delay between turning turret.

Driver

Driving the Vehicles:	Description:
	The Green highlighted areas are places you can turn the vehicles to. You are able to do so by using either WASD or the arrow keys.
	The arrows show that the vehicles can only move forward/backwards when facing that direction.
	Areas highlighted in orange means that the vehicles is not able to move. The object must either be removed or destroyed in order for the tank to rotate. The vehicles can destroy walls/resin structures (up to reinforced walls) by continuously driving into them. Doing this damages the vehicles's modules so be careful not to over do it. The weapons on some vehicles are an alternative for destroying walls/resin structures, though you will be expending a lot of ammunition to take them down. It's best to find another route or get the marines to remove it.

Gunner

Using the armaments:	Description:
Switching the vehicle's weapons	In order to change the weapon you are currently using. You must click on the Vehicle tab and click Cycle Hardpoint Module (you can bind a hotkey for it with Macros). A menu will open, allowing you to select from Primary, Secondary and Support if you have them installed on the tank.
Using the weapons	To be able to fire any of the weapons when selected, you simply left click' on a tile to fire the armament selected. To fire the alternative armament, middle click a tile. If you select the support module, you can Click a tile to activate it. You can also use middle click to fire the primary armament and Ctrl+Click to fire the secondary armament while having the support module selected. Do note that this method can only be used while the support module is selected. IMPORTANT: Do note that the tank's primary armaments only has a 90 degrees firing arc, which means the tank must constantly rotate in order to fire elsewhere. Secondary and support armaments will have a 180 degrees firing arc. You are also unable to point while in the tank as well as shoot anything directly next to it.
Reloading	Inside the vehicles interior, click on the auto loader, there will be a menu that'll pop open. Select the armament you want to reload in order to reload it.
