-It is also possible to find the commander of a vehicle by placing a '''C''' after the name of the vehicle so ''Tank1C'' and '''''gcommander''' Tank1'' both refer to the same unit, providing the original commander has not got out of the tank.  The difference between the two is ''Tank1C'' is always the unit that was commander of the tank when the mission started, whilst '''''commander''' Tank1'' is the commander which is now there.
