OK.. under 'finding an online game..' 1) Cut/Paste will work in SB. I just highlight the IP addy in my mIRC client which automatically copies the IP address to the clipboard, and fire up SB, activate the cursor in the target IP box and hit CTRL-V to paste. 2) AA can also stand for Archangel. (Glory be to His name..) 3) Selecting a vehicle with the second number being -2, at least for American units, gives you command of a two-tank section. Under tactics/don't lose the head.. GPS and/Or TIS can come back online? Never seen it. Under tactics/users guide for smoke: "Every tank in your platoon has smoke grenades and a smoke generator." I defy you to find the smoke generator on a Leopard. Also, it may be worth pointing out that thick smoke can affect LRF performance. i.e. it sometimes won't penetrate. Keep in mind. For those of us who spend almost all our time in a TIS view, sometimes we're completely ignorant of a smoke barrier simply because we can't see it. If the LRF range comes up a 0000, or if your rounds inexplicably keep falling short, switch to natural view and make sure there's no smoke between you and the target. And the hint of my own.. The trick to survival is SCAN!!! Burn out those turret motors, scan quickly, scan often. If you see a hotspot, swing back, focus in on it, try to ID through thermals and natural view. If it's a position that you can't ID it (such as just being able to see a roadwheel deep in trees), lase, take note of range and bearing, flip to map (F-5) view, and see if your team has a live vehicle in the area. If not, shoot at it, even if there's supposed to be a killed tank there. Sometimes people will use dead tanks as 'cover' to confuse you. Worst that'll happen is you use up a sabot round. Frequently, you kill a 'reserve' enemy tank. NTM NTM
