The marked battle positions (bp) 1-11 in the overlay orders are the intention of your BN CDR to show his continuity of defenses. The real battle positions of the tanks or IFVs can deviate up to 500m! If you want to fall back with your company, you have to make a request to your BN CDR ( TRIGGER )! Follow the situation development from your neighbors ( CHATBOX ) ! Good Luck! This scenario is based on a tactical challenge during a tactical further education of the german army.

While at the Tank Range, I noticed that after firing an ATGM from the BMP-2, I was able to turn the launcher power off, switching back to a stabilized turret, and was able to power traverse the turret laterally to guide the ATGM onto target. From both looking at the wiki and checking out a 4.0 Demo Video, it seems that you are only supposed to be able to guide the ATGM by manually cranking the turret. Is this a bug, or can you actually do this on a real BMP-2?
