Who crews your vehicles?
 

A lot of Joe vehicles come with a driver. But a lot of these vehicles also need more than just a driver to be fully crewed.

So, I'm curious. You guys have any full crews set up in your vehicles? And if you do, who's in it?

Here's the ones in mine:

Mauler Mk2:
Driver: Thunderwing
Commander: Steeler
Machine gunner: Undetermined

HAVOC:
Driver: Cross-Country
Rest: flexible

Warthog:
Driver: Hot Seat
Commander: Chief
Gunner: Undetermined

Dragonfly:
Pilot: Wild Bill
Gunner: Undetermined

Tomahawk:
Pilot: Lift-Ticket
Copilot: Daina/Vorona

RHINO:
Driver: Backstop
Gunner: Dodger
Copter pilot: Windmill (still need to buy one)
Copter gunner: Major Altitude (ditto)

HISS Tank:
Driver: HISS Driver
Gunner: Shock-Viper

ASP:
Operator: Flak-Viper

Adder:
Operator: Flak-Viper

Dominator:
Driver: undetermined
Pilot: undetermined

Firebats:
Pilots: Strato-Vipers

Anything outside of that doesn't really have a dedicated crew for it.

Let's hear about your crews now!

Gunner: Airborne

With all the work I put into my Airborne custom, I don't want him stuck in the Dragonfly 24/7!

No matter Daina/Vorona is Russian from the Oktober Guard?

Depends how you handle your Joe.

I decided to give my team a few extra guys from other countries, "on loan" so to speak much like Big Ben is.

Daina happens to be one of those, hence the use of her "Devil's Due" codename Vorona.

I actually don't have too many "assigned" drivers/pilots. Lift-Ticket & Wildbill can fly either the T-Hawk or the L-Bird. Clutch, Grand Slam, Steeler, and Rock N Roll are my primary drivers.

In Cobra, all land vehicles are driven by the "Stinger Drivers"; the Hurricanes are flown by "Storm Vipers" & "Para-Vipers" ride shotgun; and all water vehciles are driven by "Cobra Divers" with "Cobra Eels" on point.

Crews
 

Here is mine.. its unassembled right now and still a work in progress but obviously i've listed Transportation/vehcile operators only.

Air Transportation Team
Lift Ticket
Updraft
Wild Bill
Windmill

Aquatic/Coastguard Team
Cutter

Arctic Attack Team
Avalanche
Frostbite

Desert Strike Team
Crankcase

Jungle Assault Team
Pathfinder

Urban Assault Team
Clutch

Like Rich, I tend to have teams - Lift Ticket, Wild Bill, etc, are chopper pilots, so they can fly any of the Joe's helicopters, etc, etc. For Cobra vehicles I army build the relevant driver for each vehicle so they are all fully crewed. For example, I have six Nitro Vipers for my Detonator, five Secto Vipers for my BUGG, and so on.

I am at a disadvantage here... just a few vehicles for the Joes, a bunch of HISS tanks for Cobra. Nearly all of my vehicles from the 80's are gone, so I've only been able to really stock up on what's been released from the 25th stuff.

So... All are 25th type, unless otherwise noted:

HISS tanks
Driver: HISS Driver
Gunner: HISS Commander

Water Moccasin
Driver: Copperhead (there is only 1 CH in my joeverse and he doesn't wear python patrol colors)
Gunner: Cobra Water Moccasin Crew (another custom - All my water moccasins are manned with a generic crew for pilot and gunner)

Flight Pod
Pilot: Air Trooper

CLAW
Pilot: Air Trooper

FANG
Pilot: Air Trooper

MOBAT (arah)
Driver: Steeler (arah)
