and: can u post a link to the german manual? plz
when you open your spawn menu while in the capture radius, you'll see a bar similar to the one below your mini-map in BF2. it only shows up when your inside the capture radius

unfortunatly, the guide section is down, and as far a i know, it hasnt been translated into other languages.

the capture radius is usually part of the flag name e.g. 150m

Here is the latest manual btw. As far as I know, the German translation isn't done yet.

For light ground vehicles, such as the Humvee or a truck, you do not need a Crewman Kit.

Any kind of armoured vehicle needs a Crewman Kit; APC, Tank etc.

ALL aircraft need Pilot Kits.

Keep the questions coming, we're happy to answer :)

Uh. Read the Wiki. The part about how the PR Manual helps on the toilet is only in the PR Wiki. ;-)

IMHO you are one lazy man n00by, again as said before read the manual, look it up yourself for the german version and play for a week or two and you'll be fine! dont fly those warthogs online yet!

Mistryx, if you'd read the full thread, you'd see that n00by doesn't feel he reads English well enough and that apparently there is not a German translation of the manual available as of right now.

I'd recommend, that you at least try to read the english 0.91 manual, getting as much information out of it as possible, and afterwards playing some rounds on a german server, since you've stated that you're english isn't the best.
There you could ask some of the german speaking, experienced players to provide you some help. There are always friendly ppl online, who don't mind to help a new player.
I think [NEW], coffeeshop, [10th] and =abc= would be the servers of your choice then.

Don't be afraid to ask ingame either. Yes, some people get annoyed by new guys asking these basic questions, but don't hesitate to ask your squad if you wonder about something specific.
Most guys out there on the servers are really quite helpful.

1) right click your shortcut and select compatability, set it to windows XP. Run as administrator for best results as well.
2) PR is barely comparable to vbf2 anymore :) but its more realistic and less forgiving.
3) approach vehicle, press T, request pilot kit from that menu.
4) Deployment is for online play, Cooperative is for single player or on online COOP servers with other people :)
noob question too. :D

when i press T nothing happens, pressed all the buttons still cant change kit, please help?
