Nice shots with the RPG hit on the Challenger!  Those things are so beefcake.   :))

That was a long game.  Sorry for bailing so quick afterwards.  I have problems sitting for too long due to back injuries. 

I had fun that round, even though I never even bothered getting into the gunner's seat.  Spent my whole time micro-managing the tank platoon.  Hopefully I learned how to herd cats a bit better.  ^-^

Is there anything going off tonight?

Another nice n00b game would be good because even though it was just Asid, Yskonyn, Nefaro and me, I still felt HUGE pressure - especially when my callsign was shouted!

So I'm not ready (anywhere NEAR ready) to join a proper server game yet

I can do something mon and tue morning / afternoon.

Write your call-sign on a piece of paper or post-it  O0

I will add a section about "Radio Comms Procedure".

Your designation is actually seen at the lower right of the screen.

Yes but the following situations can confuse the issue:

•   When you observe another vehicle "F8"
•   When you are in "F5 Map" view
•   When you detach a platoon.
•   When you are in control of more than 1 vehicle/platoon.

Pressing "Participants" in the "F5 Map" view will give you a list of who's who.

It will get easier. Pen and paper helps me :)

No - I don't mean about confusion - I meant "Go here, do that"...I was frenetically changing from gunner to map to external to gunner...

It's all good though - it heightens the senses.

I may not be on after all, having heard of todays list from the boss. We'll see. During the week, Monday to Thursday I'll be available from 20:00GMT.

I concentrated on commanding my tank (or platoon) first, and jumped into the crew seats as a second priority.  I figured that there are AI crewmen to take care of that stuff, but there aren't any that will actually order the tank around much while it's under your control.

When I ran a tank platoon in the second game Friday, I never fired a shot from the Gunner's seat.  I was more worried about micro-managing my platoon and keeping them from exposing themselves for too long in the range duels, or keeping a good pace & formation when trying to catch up.  I may have micro'd a bit too much but I think it may have helped in some ways.  My platoon still managed to get some kills at very long range.
