There's probably better missions and campaigns made for tank crew by the community in the il2 box forums for mission builders.

Would be interesting if they added the career campaigns for tank crew like the planes have.

Did you guys know that anybody that owns il2 can help crew a Tank Crew owners tank?

Nice, I hadn't tested that.

Saw a review where they played on the Finnish dynamic server that had a mission that looked like battlefield with tank crew player capping flags as players in opposing tanks and planes try to stop them.

Might have to check that one out.

Unfortunately, "This is a keyless non-Steam product". I guess I should have bought IL-2 from the company store... my bad.

That explains why it is not on sale in Steam. 

I hate when publishers pull that Steam / non-Steam stuff....

I did buy it but haven't figured out how to play it yet/). Guess I need to watch some videos or something unless I missed the tutorial

I finally solved that issue with an Elgato Stream Deck.

Interesting. How did you configure it? Care to share the profile?

I basically just set it up as a button box and wrote keypress macros with Bar Raider's Super Macro. 

The part I'm not done with is making some good icons that fit. 

As soon as I finish with it I'll share it.  Right now I've been pushing harder to get a good profile for the aircraft that I'm comfortable with.  It's a lot harder to get the plane set up than it was with the tanks.

Oh, and another helpful peripheral I just added is the Blackhog Explorer.  Can't recommend it enough. 

It's great for both air and armor.  I have it set up so it's how I handle complex engine management on the aircraft, and then when I go to the tank I have alternate assignments so I can do things with it like gunnery fine adjustment  and radio. 

Great device, but fair warning if any of you simmers want to pick one up, make sure you use DHL Express.  My box sat in IPZ Frankfurt for over a month before it finally made its way to the States because they accidently shipped it standard (Nice dudes though, when they realized the mistake they gave me free shipping).
