Crew sizes

What are the crew sizes for the 3 main main tanks?

I've used google, and the forum search feature but can't find anything, and the profile on PSU just says "classified".

Particularly it's the vannie I'm interested in. I've heard it'll be 1 man, if this is true, I will be sad.

The driver also controls the main weapon, but there is an extra space for a gunner to use a small mounted weapon on top.

Probably looking at 2 man tanks all around. It's not been defined clearly yet though.
Driver controls the main gun and can mount a secondary gun on the tank that can be one of a range of things.

There is also a possibility that we will get a "dedicated gunner" variant where the driver only drives and the gunner controls the main gun. We haven't gotten any more recent word on if they are going through with this though. We also don't know if such a variant would have the option for a third crew member to control a secondary gun.

But for the most part, the empire specific Medium Battle Tanks will all be 2 man vehicles, with the driver controlling the main gun and the gunner controlling some sort of secondary gun.
