Unofficial Armor Training

UPDATE: Since my flight back to uni got cancelled, I won’t be able to make this time slot. If @Don_prince is able to take over the training, then it will proceed as scheduled. The other events will be unaffected.

 

Since there aren’t a whole lot of official ones being run, I’ll be running a series of unofficial armor training sessions. Again, these are unofficial, but they are being done with the approval of the armor trainers. I’m a competent and experienced tanker, and I’ve got all the tags associated with tanks except armor trainer. 

I can train the following to a relatively advanced degree: 

Driver: Vehicle positioning, cover and concealment, vehicle movement, operation within a convoy, crew cooperation with gunner incl. fire and movement (“peek-a-boo”)

Gunner: FCS operation on BLU/OP tanks and IFVs, target selection and prioritization, aiming (weak) points in BLU/OP tanks and IFVs, ammo selection based on target and desired effect, cooperation with driver incl. fire and movement (“peek-a-boo”)

Commander: Proper crew interaction, communication, and control; single-tank tactics and operation, both with and without supporting infantry; cooperation with other tanks in two-, three-, and four-tank sections, including mutual support and fire-and-movement. CANNOT train armored platoon (3+ tanks) or mechanized company (3+ tanks and assorted IFVs/chalk) command as I do not have enough experience in those scenarios. 

 

If you RSVP to this event, drop a comment saying what sort of stuff you’re trying to learn. I’ll tailor the individual syllabi of the sections to what people want to get out of them. All community members (FNGs, regs, tagged armor crew, non-tagged folks who just want to learn) are welcome.

I'm interested in driver and gunner training.. focus on the driver stuff seeing as I've yet to get the tags. 

On the timing I may be 5-10 minutes late as I usually don't get out of work until 5pm GMT but hopefully can get out early for the sake of a Friday

I both want to get to know if i'm missing something when it comes to the first set of tags, but mainly to polish the Driver and Gunner position, as well as build on the foundation of Commander

It'll start right near dinner time for me, but I'll make sure to be there asap. May run about 5 to 10 minutes later as a result like Silent (if all things go smooth)

I'm mostly interested in gunner training - I already went through the FCS guide before, but a refresher never hurts.

What I'd be mostly interested in is where to hit (especially when choices are front, front or front), leading shots on moving targets without FCS and target priority.
 

If there's spare time having a commander training wouldn't be bad, but funny enough I have much more experience as commander than gunner.

If any of you can assist too,

Not going to be able to unless it is absolutely necessary. I need to get some shit done before mains, otherwise I would. It's too short notice for me otherwise.

Id like to learn the basics of Driving/Gunning. I already commanded and it seemed relatively simple, but if there's time a quick overview of the important aspects of Commanding would be appreciated.
