I see a ton of abbreviations on this board, as well as in game. I should know better, but I have to ask, can you guys reply to this thread with some of the more common abbreviations used. It will be a great help.

JABO for starters. What the hell does that stand for?

I know most of the basics:

GV- Ground Vehicle
LW- Luftwaffe
ACM- Air Combat Maneuvering
Dar- Radar

Please add your favorite Abbreviation, and it's definition for an old newbie.

Thanks in Advance.

Jabo isn't an acronym (so far as I know), it is the German term for a ground strike/ground support mission.

Basically, it means fighters carring rockets and/or bombs.

"buff dweep" --- Often used against bomberpilots who kill fighters that come right up their six with about the same speed as the buff.
