One thing I noticed when playing tonight. Don't take this as me trying to blame someone for what happened, I am just pointing out a weakness that I perceived in our way of handling things.
IMO, if infantry is inside a vehicle, the vehicle commander should have the full authority.
Case in point, we spotted the Challenger on the road and Variable ordered me to let the infantry disembark. I was perplexed at that moment, but it was the wrong decision and I should have overruled it. I could have gone for the cover of the buildings to the right of the road and let infantry disembark there. Instead, we had infantry disembark on the road and someone ran in front of my vehicle. Since I had no idea where the rest of the infantry was, all I could do is stand there, salute Mother Russia for the last time and accept a 120 mm tank shell to my face.
What should be done in this case is that the vehicle commander (who is the one with the best situational awareness at this point) decides what to do. It should be his call to let infantry disembark or not, and in this case, I would not have done it, especially since the dismounts blocked my vehicle from moving which cost me my virtual life.

I don't need luck, I have ammo.
