Seats, not a single tank button
The driver moves the hull. The gunner lays and fires the main weapon. The commander watches outside the gun sight and sets the order. The loader, on vehicles that have that seat, handles the next round and says when the gun is ready. Some vehicles add a bow gunner. The E-100 (Henschelturm) catalog entry is driver, gunner, bow gunner, commander, and loader.
On foot, the roster also has infantry, crewman, and engineer. Those are separate classes with their own tiered weapons. They are not extra names for the driver seat.
Binds that show up in more than one 2025-2026 list
On foot, both public lists use WASD to move, C to crouch or go prone, and X to stand. One list sprints with Shift and opens the map with M. Another list sprints with Right Shift and uses left bracket and right bracket to change zero.
Driving agrees more closely. W moves forward, S backs up, A and D steer, E shifts up, and Q shifts down. The 2026 walkthrough turns the engine on from a control at the bottom right before the first gear works.
Gunner lists do not match
Do not memorize one list as the only default. Two detailed public lists both use WASD for the turret, F to fire, C to cycle weapons, V to rangefind, G for smoke, H for mouse or house aim, and Z for the stabilizer. They then split:
| Action | List A (May 2025 PC guide) | List B (community manual) |
|---|---|---|
| Scope or aim mode | Right mouse | X |
| Zoom | Scroll | Shift+X changes sight |
| Range adjust | Alt+scroll | Number keys pick the shell; R snaps the round |
| Thermals | K | K is also given as the thermal or night control |
| Stabilizer | Z | Z |
| Lead and tracking | Joystick mode uses B for lead and N for FCS lock | B lead, N auto-track, Shift+V FCS |
| Guided missile | Arrow keys for a MACLOS missile | Not in that list |
An older fan page for one APC uses a different set again, including M for the engine and right click to fire. That page does not match the 2026 driving walkthrough, so it is not treated as the current default.
Joystick mode in the May 2025 list uses left click as a palm switch, right click to hold aim, B for lead, N for FCS lock, and Left or Right plus Shift for sensitivity. A separate video shows mapping a physical stick onto these actions. Rebinding means a crewmate's keys can differ from yours.
What to say on each seat
- Driver: gear, stopped or moving, and which way the hull is facing.
- Gunner: identified target, ready, shot, and hit or miss.
- Commander: one priority at a time, with a direction the driver can see.
- Loader: round type, still loading, or gun ready.
If two lists disagree on a key, use the bind screen in the match you are in. The tables above are reports, not a promise that today's client still uses every key.
