Tagged, what does that mean when somebody tells you not to get tagged. I just thought it meant not to get shot.

You were right.

Good Evening,

I like to refer to Logistic trucks as the Red Ball Express in honor of the WWII guys that ran round the clock delivering supplies to Allied troops in northern Europe after D-Day.

If I had the choice between "Logi" or "Red Ball Express", what would anyone prefer to say, huh?

I thought this thread was about actual PR Dictionary and PR Terms that are used by many people and might not initially be understood by new players.

Truck/TransTruck = Transport Truck
Logi = Logistics Truck

That would be the idea and even better if the OP would update his first post with the new terms. but ya...

Engine Off or Cut the engine or Sound Check
Only used in ground vehicles this order means that the driver needs to leave the driver position, either by leaving the vehicle (E) or by going to another position, like the gunner (F3).
This tactic allows you and your team members to listen for enemy vehicles, therefor gain more information about their speed, positioning and heading.

Edit: Like KaB said Sound Check is also used in this context.

Subkey
One grid is 3x3 keypads (1-9). Sometimes people use subkeys to determine exact (or more exact) locations.

Grid A1
Keypad 3
Subkey 5

means that the reported location lies in A1-3-5, in the middle of keypad 3. This is not that often used though. Works well in 1km maps.

[KaB]

Would be nice if people could stop writing "keypad" and replace it with dashes like that. It'd be already much more readable.

And if the location is between two grids :

Grid A1
Keypad 3
Subkey 1 from B1

-> A1-3-B1-1

Can we please change the original post already? Because if you read that you think wtf is this. And when you read the rest of the posts, tis actually gets useful to some people.

AR=automatic riflemen... Tons of people didn't know.

Depending who I'm with, i usually just say MG. Doesn't create as much confusion as newer players tend to think 'AR' means Assault rifle...

[Smegburt_funkledink]

Oscar Mike - We're getting the fuck out of here. (In PR, usually On the Move) or On Mission. Usually a response or statement.

Serpentine - Oh fuck, run like shit in an unorderly fashion! Usually an order. Sometimes a mistake...

[PLODDITHANLEY]

And we all know what maintain dispersion means now too....

But that's what this thread is for........
To tell new players the 'AR' is automatic rifleman, not to misinform them by calling it an 'mg' because they are different things. It only takes a second to tell them and then it should be easy to remember. Absolutely no point in changing the names of everything just so new players don't have to learn 1 extra thing and remain misinformed.

Plus chances are later down the road it will just cause more confusion when people are calling out kits they will take for the round, especially since the 'AR' is one of the most requested kits. So when someone calls out "I'll take the mg" and then takes the AR, the person taking the AR probably won't be too happy about it.

...

Hmm, good point actually.

[Nate.]

Bump!

[Jutsch]

COW CAS

Using the Cow with a dedicated door gunner. Most likely because the team is set up and you're board of sitting at main doing nothing. Usual tactic is to fly around until some enemy inf decide to shoot you because ??? I have no idea, anyway just locate them and circle around them until you've killed them. Highly effective on the Inf layers of the larger maps, also probably works well because people ignore the cow as an offensive asset.
