[Anaxogoras]

I always knew about the zoom key, but I didn't know about the [ and ] keys until a little more than a month ago (before then I almost never drove tanks).

I didn't know how to 'correctly' end sortie after my first ever kill (in a Spitfire XVI).  I wound up literally walking round the field for about ten minutes before towering out.

I was in and out of GV's for about 2 months, getting killed over and over, never once saw what was killing me. Took that long to even see an enemy tank,lol.

Then I ran into Jdjnr he showed me the ropes, great guy and will always have my appreciation.

GVing was alot of fun b4 the arena split, and was alot of fun learning the ropes, wish you could go back and see everything all over again as a total noob. if you ever have the chance to GV with JD you will learn alot and have a blast.

 "S" JD and thankyou.

They zoom in and out after you hit "Z" to zoom veiw. use this when you go into your gun, TIP: zoom gun site so it just fills your screen and you can see slight dark outline around edges of your screen, do this the same all the time so you get a better idea of range based on tgt size in your site.

 also can use this on any zoom from any position.

extra tip: put your tank in neutral when you fire main gun.

My first tank sortie I was playing around with the arrow keys and moving the seating position forward and backward trying to see better out of the tank. I finally moved it way forward and said wow now I can really see out of this slot. About that time a spit came in from the front and gave me a pilot wound. A gosh darn pilot wound in a tank!
