Extended profile
A tank crew needs to be able to work together and communicate. As everybody controls their own part of the tank, a commander is needed to control the actions of the gunner and driver. The commander also usually operates the radio communication with HQ and other squad leaders.
While a tank might seem safe with it's heavy armor, stay cautious and be aware of your surroundings. A tank can be very vulnerable and easy to destroy, and is prone to anti-tank fire by both ground and air units. The tank is a very important element of the game, but it's also hard to operate effectively and needs practice and skill.
Your main objective is to support friendly units in the AO with whatever they might need. As long as no support is requested, the tank is on should be on standby and ready to support at a moments notice. Because of this, it might be a good idea to be stationed at an FOB. The armored unit can also transport troops if needed. With that feature of the Marshall and Slammer the ground units are more mobile and able to move around the AO quicker.
Last but not least, the armored unit might need to defend important objectives such as the HQ or a MSR (Main Supply Road). For that you need to find a good vantage point where you can defend the location and also be in cover from incoming hostile forces.
