Don't know what it would be realistically but either could be credible, depending on the setup. The Swedish S-tank ran with a crew of two, driver/gunner and commander. They both had controls for everything. However, the S-tank was intrinsically unable to fire on the move, because the gun was rigidly fixed to the hull, and a tank without that limitation might be organised differently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stridsvagn_103 > * Attack helicopters tend to put the pilot in command, right?

Their limitation is that the commander is overworked, in part because of the limitations of vision and situational awareness. If you can overcome that problem, it's hard to state definitively what would be best.
